The hyprcosmic profile does not start cosmic-bg, so until now nothing was
drawing a background at all.
HyDE calls this swww, and it is packaged for Fedora after all -- the
alebastr/sway-extras COPR carries it. Upstream renamed the project to awww at
0.12 and the package Obsoletes swww < 0.12.0, so `dnf install swww` lands
awww-0.12.1. /usr/bin/swww still exists as a shim, but it prints a deprecation
warning on every invocation and its own help says it will be removed in a
future update, so the autostart line uses the real name.
`bind = SUPER, D, exec, rofi -show drun` is the most recognisable line in a
hyprland.conf, and the hyprcosmic profile makes it necessary rather than just
idiomatic: with cosmic-launcher and cosmic-app-library not running, COSMIC's
stock Super, Super+/ and Super+A bindings point at nothing.
Binds are the one repeatable key in the language -- many lines fold into a
single map instead of the last one winning -- so they bypass the schema, which
is built around one conf key naming one value. They land in the Shortcuts
`custom` key, which cosmic-comp merges over `defaults`, so the system file is
untouched and reverting means deleting the lines and re-applying.
Actions are rendered as RON text rather than modelled as an enum: COSMIC's
Action has forty-odd variants, this crate deliberately does not link the cosmic
crates, and the mapping table only ever needs a handful. Dispatchers without a
genuine equivalent are refused rather than approximated, since a keybinding
that silently does the wrong thing is worse than one that fails to compile.
Verified the emitted file deserializes into cosmic-settings-config's own
`Shortcuts` type: five bindings, keysyms XK_a/XK_slash/XK_Return, Spawn actions.
The profile disables cosmic-panel, so without these a HyprCosmic session is a
compositor with no bar, no clock and no tray. Waybar's shipped default is not
a substitute: /etc/xdg/waybar/config.jsonc is built entirely from sway/*
modules and renders nothing under cosmic-comp.
Module choices are pinned to what cosmic-comp actually advertises on the
Wayland registry, checked against a live session rather than assumed:
ext/workspaces ext_workspace_manager_v1, present in stock cosmic-comp.
wlr/taskbar zwlr_foreign_toplevel_management_v1, absent from stock
cosmic-comp and supplied by this fork's Patch A. Under a
stock compositor the module stays empty and the bar
otherwise works, so the config is not fork-only.
tray cosmic-panel normally hosts the StatusNotifierWatcher via
cosmic-applet-status-area; with the panel disabled waybar
hosts it instead.
The stylesheet keeps every colour behind an @define-color so that a HyDE
theme's waybar.theme -- which is only a list of such declarations, the bespoke
CSS being HyDE's own rather than any theme's -- can recolour the bar by being
sourced ahead of it.
Configs install to /usr/share/hyprcosmic/waybar so the autostart file needs no
per-user paths, which matters because the profile parser is deliberately not a
shell and cannot expand ~ or $HOME.
Verified: config.jsonc parses as JSONC and every compositor module placed on
the bar has a matching config block.
