Hypr is a dynamic Linux tiling window manager for Xorg. It's written in XCB with modern C++ and aims to provide easily readable and expandable code.

For Hypr with land, see Hyprland, the Wayland Compositor.

Hypr is only a window manager. It is not a compositor and does not implement a compositor's functionality. You can run it without one (e.g. Picom) though, since it runs on Xorg, which doesn't require a compositor.

Key Features

• True parabolic animations
• Rounded corners and borders
• Config reloaded instantly upon saving
• A built-in status bar with modules
• Easily expandable and readable codebase
• Pseudotiling
• Multiple tiling modes (dwindling and master)
• Window rules
• Intelligent transients
• Support for EWMH-compatible bars (e.g. Polybar)
• Keybinds config
• Tiling windows
• Floating windows
• Workspaces
• Moving / Fullscreening windows
• Mostly EWMH and ICCCM compliant

Installation

I do not maintain any packages, but some kind people have made them for me. If I missed any, please let me know.

IMPORTANT: Hypr requires xmodmap to correctly apply keybinds. Make sure you have it installed.

Known issues

• Picom's shadow and effects do not update for cheap animations while animating
• Non-cheap animations are choppy (duh!)
