hyprwinwrap 0.55v3

Stack several windows as backgrounds, for example a visualizer over part of the screen on top of a full-screen one.

All of hyprwinwrap

Correction: Only the hyprlang plugin { hyprwinwrap { ... } } config is deprecated; showing a window as the background is not. It works through hl.plugin.hyprwinwrap.window() in Lua.

Correction: Retyped from deprecated: only the hyprlang plugin config block was deprecated; background windows work through the Lua config.

Before you upgrade to 0.55v3

The hyprlang plugin { hyprwinwrap { ... } } block is deprecated and the README says it will be removed; move to hl.plugin.hyprwinwrap.window() in Lua.

Behavior changedShow a chosen app window as the desktop background, behind all other windows.

What changed in 0.55v3

New Lua config: hl.plugin.hyprwinwrap.window({ class, title, layer, pos_x, pos_y, size_x, size_y }) can be called several times, and layer sets which one draws on top. The focus toggle is now hl.plugin.hyprwinwrap.focus("<title-or-class>").

0.55v3; the Lua config needs a Hyprland version with Lua configuration. The hyprlang plugin block still works but is marked deprecated.

Fixed and improved

hl.plugin.hyprwinwrap.focus("<title-or-class>") picks which background window to focus; it can be bound to a key with hl.bind or called with hyprctl dispatch.

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