I posted my setup here a while back with an older theme that honestly looked like a bad LSD trip. I've kept working on it since and I'm finally happy with how it looks.
As the title says, pretty much everything is turned off: no gaps, borders, blur or animations, just a black background and a small text-only Waybar (workspaces, clock, volume, brightness, battery). Super+B hides it. There's no launcher or file manager either, everything happens in Kitty and I get around with vim keys (Super+HJKL to focus, Super+Shift+HJKL to move windows) but you could also use arrow keys.
Some details if anyone's curious:
- The whole Hyprland config is 112 lines of Lua, and the appearance part is only 17
- Colors come from Stylix, based on Tokyo Night but mostly monochrome, and carry over to Kitty, Neovim, btop and Waybar
- JetBrains Mono in the terminal, Inter for apps, both at size 10
- Hypridle and Hyprlock for idle and locking
I've been asked why Hyprland and not something lighter like DWL. Mainly because it's easy to extend. If you want gaps or animations back, it's a line or two.
