Btw I'm working on window blur in niri! Both xray and regular.

Xray always "shows through" to the background. This allows it to be very efficient: compute blurred texture only once, then just draw that texture (very cheap).

Not a single blur recomputation in this video!

biblically accurate window management

i added the pointer warping thing from blender to when you drag the view around in niri with the mouse

hf with this new way to pass time during boring meetings

(on a more serious note this helps when you need to scroll further than the edge of your monitor allows)

#niri

check out what i've got

#niri

did some exploring how terminal apps work (yes it's as bad as they say) to make a terminal ui for plitki, my vsrg engine.

how bad would it be, quantized to the terminal grid? surprisingly, with the right characters, not too bad.

ofc being plitki, there's full support for all kinds of SV

i have this old ASUS Eee PC collecting dust, decided to try if niri will run on it. well, it actually runs! a few shaders failed compiling (ran into ALU instruction limits), but otherwise seems to work

#niri

A secret niri v25.02 feature! Make your floating windows FLOAT by putting this in your config:

window-rule {
match is-floating=true
baba-is-float true
}

Works in the nix flake too :)
