HyprYou

This project is not affiliated with or sponsored by Google.

HyprYou (hyprland-material-you v2). It aims to provide a modern, feature-rich, and visually appealing desktop configuration. Here are some key features:

• Material You Colors: The project generates colors for your apps based on you wallpapers or settings.
• Fluid Animations: Expect natural and fluid animations throughout the desktop experience.
• Design: The design wherever possible is made by Material 3 design
• Settings: Almost all settings are possible to configure in settings! You don't need to change hyprland.conf unless you need something specific.
• Clean home folder: I made everything so won't have any unnecessary files in home. And from settings you can enable configs for terminals or anything else.

Preview

• Demo video: Reddit post
• Screenshot:

[!TIP] When you run HyprYou as DE session (from SDDM, Greetd, etc.) it doesn't use ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf
For any custom variables/configs look for ~/.config/hypryou/hyprland.conf
I made that so you can have different dotfiles on one system
If you don't have Display Manager you can use hyprland --config /usr/share/hypryou/configs/hyprland/main.conf

[!NOTE] I'm doing everything by myself and for free.
If you want to support me, you can buy me a coffee on ko-fi.

Packages info

• hypryou - The main package, should be installed before anything else
• hypryou-utils - Replacement of hypryou-qtutils, uses gtk4 for hyprland dialogs instead of qt
• hypryou-greeter - Configs for greetd, so it's replacement of SDDM or anything like that. With Material 3 theme.

How to install (Arch)

[!TIP] If you have an error like "cannot resolve dependency" you should install packages that are named there with yay or any other AUR helpers.
For very new people to ArchLinux, check this: https://itsfoss.com/install-yay-arch-linux/
Also if AUR is down (it happens sometimes) you can check for Chaotic AUR: https://aur.chaotic.cx/
And if you have errors like Config error in file /.... just try using hyprctl reload

• Clone repository: git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/koeqaife/hyprland-material-you.git
• Install all dependencies from depends.txt
• Build Cython code by using build.sh in hypryou/
• Then copy hypryou to /usr/lib/hypryou and copy hypryou-assets to /usr/share/hypryou
• Then use build.sh in build
• Move hypryouctl, hypryou-start, hypryou-crash-dialog to /usr/bin
• Copy assets/hypryou.desktop to /usr/share/wayland-sessions/
• And run it as HyprYou from your display manager (Not Hyprland!!)
• Optional:
  • You can build hypryou-utils or hypryou-greeter if you want

    By using makepkg -si in greeter for hypryou-greeter or in hypryou-utils

• Pre-built (AUR):

  The easiest way

  • Use yay, paru or any other AUR helper to install it.
  • To see what packages are available just run yay -Ss hypryou

• Pre-built:

  • Install needed packages from releases
  • Use sudo pacman -U <file name> change <file name> to name of the package you downloaded and make sure you're in Downloads folder

    Yea some people were trying to use pacman -U in home folder so I had to say that

• Build manually:

  • hypryou - Use makepkg -si
  • hypryou-greeter - Use makepkg -si in greeter/
  • hypryou-utils - Use makepkg -si in hypryou-utils/
