Optionally before editing configuration files backup your previous configuration located in:
pikman install noctalia-shell
Open your ~/.config/hypr/exec.conf
Remove or comment out (
#) the following line:
exec-once=pikabar
Optionally you can disable swww sinds noctalia comes with its own wallpaper manager
Remove or comment out (
#) the following line
spawn-at-startup "swww-daemon"
Add the following to your ~/.config/hypr/exec.conf
exec-once = qs -c noctalia-shell
Noctalia uses its own launcher. Replace the default keybind in ~/.config/hypr/keybinds.conf
Old configuration:
bind=$mainMod,D,exec,pikabar-launcher
New configuration:
bind=$mainMod,D,exec,qs -c noctalia-shell ipc call launcher toggle
Check out the official Noctalia Wiki for additional window appearance and blur configuration options.
