Hey hey people, vaxry here. It’s time for a new Hyprland update, after 2 months or so.

Breaking changes

• The gesture system has been reworked and is now way more flexible. Thus, the old gestures:workspace_swipe, gestures:workspace_swipe_fingers and gestures:workspace_swipe_min_fingers are gone.

• animations:first_launch_animation is gone, use the new monitorAdded animation leaf.

New stuff

A bunch of new stuff has landed. Some highlights include:

Reworked trackpad gestures

You can now set new 1:1 gestures for fingers, modifiers and directions. For example, you can have a pinch gesture with 3 fingers close your windows, while a horizontal swipe swipes your workspaces, while a vertical swipe pulls up a special workspace. Possibilities are endless!

Check the new gestures wiki page for more.

• New cursor:invisible option to hide the cursor altogether
• New dpms animations
• Wayland-native popups now have fade in/out animations
