hyprwinwrap 0.55v2

Show any window, such as a terminal running cava, as the desktop background on Hyprland.

What changed in 0.55v2

First releases (0.54, 0.55, 0.55v2). A plugin { hyprwinwrap { class, title, pos_x, pos_y, size_x, size_y } } block picks the window by exact class or title and places it behind everything, with position and size as percentages of the screen. The hyprwinwrap_interactivity dispatcher lets you focus and use that window.

Install with hyprpm add https://github.com/gen3vra/hyprwinwrap and hyprpm enable hyprwinwrap; needs Hyprland 0.54 or newer, with 0.55 supported from tag 0.55.

New things you can do

hyprctl dispatch hyprwinwrap_interactivity toggles focus on the background window.

AddedBring the background window forward to use it, then send it back.
