Who it is for

Hyprland users who want features the compositor does not ship itself

What it needs

Hyprland, with the plugin release matching your Hyprland version; hyprpm (ships with Hyprland) or the Nix flake.

How mature it is

Tagged in step with each Hyprland release since v0.41.1 (June 2024); hyprpm installs the commit pinned to your Hyprland version. Five plugins (hyprexpo, hyprscrolling, hyprtrails, hyprwinwrap, xtra-dispatchers) were dropped as unmaintained in v0.55.0.

New in v0.56.0

Choose different focus animations for keyboard and mouse focus changes.

Also: hyprbars fg_color works with Lua config; borders-plus-plus no longer stacks borders on reopened windows.
