v2.3.6-2

EMERGENCY PATCH ON copy.sh!

Well, as saying goes "Dont drink and drive!"

What's Changed

• Development to main. copy patch by @JaKooLit in #446

Full Changelog: v2.3.6-1...v2.3.6-2

v2.3.6-1

This is just an additional patch to correct a small bug that file cannot be found if user choose to switch to 12H format.

This is also to bring another option for users to replace some of the configs like
ags
fastfetch
nvim
rofi
waybar
swaync

I am also changing the wallust "backend to lab from lch cause it seems that wallust could not generate any color palette if wallpaper is edited by imagemagick through wallpaper effects function, to black & white.

I know I have mentioned also changing to matugen, but matugen needs more work as color generation for matugen is kinda "immature". Its true matugen is faster but wallust generates better color palettes based on my test

If you want to try matugen, its on dev-matugen branch..

What's Changed

• Development to main -hotfix by @JaKooLit in #443
• fixed unable to change time during installation if user choose 12H format by @JaKooLit in #444
• updated copy.sh by @JaKooLit in #445

Full Changelog: v2.3.6...v2.3.6-1

v2.3.6

This might be the last release where Wallust is used as a color-palette generator. Lately I found an issue but I could not find a work around. More on it below

Originally, I was gonna wait for new waybar 0.11.0 to be released to public but my initial test, its all still fine :)

I am releasing this dots as I will gonna work on moving to matugen do ditch wallust. Lately I found out that for "modified wallpaper" by imagemagick, wallust give "Error: Image should at least have two different pixel colors." The F was that? for a black and white wallpaper there is white and black.. oh of course grey color....

This week, I have concentrated on tweaking my Distro-Hyprland install scripts project. Thanks to @dwilliam62 for all the critics and ideas :)

Anyway, I am proud to present my Distro Hyprland install-scripts are all now tweaked :) These Distro-Hyprland install scripts will now check for the essential packages to be checked at the end of installation, which can be defined of course :), are installed to have Hyprland and of course KooL's Dots up and running nicely :)

Unfortunately, I could'nt tweak more the Ubuntu-Hyprland 24.04 because Ubuntu will NOT backport packages into it, so as usual, not so much changes everything have to be build from source. Dont worry, Ubuntu 24.10-Hyprland install script is ready for it, which is better in terms as most of the packages are now being pulled from Ubuntu universe Repo. Most notable change was nwg-look, which was originally offered as optional are now in Debian Trixie and SID and Ubuntu 24.10 Universe repo. Fedora-Hyprland will also now pull from a copr repo. This nwg-look building has now been significantly reduced!

Anyway, looking forward in the future here are plans so far:

• Moving away from Wallust to Matugen. Unless you have a better option, please let me know..
• After matugen maybe I will port Hyprpanel by Jas Singh

BUT..................
I will be travelling again soon so dont expect much though.. Anyway, I will allocate perhaps an hour everyday for the update.

v2.3.5-Hyprland-0.43.0

v2.3.5

Decide to release a new dots version cause I will state on the release which version of Hyprland would be.

This would be alot easier for me which Dots version for Debian and Ubuntu I would assign in the future, in which btw, at the time of writing, they are still on Hyprland v0.41.2.. Im guessing they are having hard time to adopt aquamarine.. (perhaps)

Well not so much changes here. Only a couple of fixes

Changes / Updates:

• added org.mozilla.firefox into waybar module workspaces#rw since fedora decided to name it like that (phew)
• minor waybar [TOP]-minimal - Long tweak
• added keep aspect ration for PIP window rule

fixes from issues:

• updated switchkeyboard layout issue #422

What's Changed

Full Changelog: v2.3.4...v2.3.5-Hyprland-0.43.0

v2.3.3-Ubuntu-24.04-Hyprland-0.39.0

This is not latest release. But rather, This is for Ubuntu 24.04 where it is still on Hyprland v0.39.0

I made an adjustment so old imagemagick (v6) will be compatible so no need to compile Imagemagick :)

Plus, of course small adjustment from Hyprland Dots v2.3.4, I brought it like new rofi design :)

But still wont bump to v2.3.4 since it is basically for Hyprland 0.39.0

Most probably this is the latest tweak I will do...

Hard to maintain a very slow distro to update packages... well what I expect, its an LTS anyway... but my support to is not LTS 🥲

Alright folks, I was actually waiting for Vaxry to release a new Hyprland but Im guessing himself and his team are just busy squashing bugs.
