# hyprdim
hyprdim is a daemon that automatically dims windows in [Hyprland](https://hyprland.org/) when switching between them.
## Features
- Easily see which window has focus, even with subtle or no borders.
- Windows only dim when switching windows, eliminating the need to toggle dim on/off when you want to see other windows.
- Prevent windows from being dimmed if there are no other visible windows in a workspace.
- Prevent windows from being dimmed when toggling special workspaces.
- Dim background windows when dialog windows open.
## Installation
hyprdim has official support for NixOS, Arch Linux (AUR), and Fedora (Copr).
[](https://repology.org/project/hyprdim/versions)
### [NixOS](https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Overview_of_the_NixOS_Linux_distribution) (Recommended)
Add [`hyprdim`](https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=unstable&query=hyprdim) to your `systemPackages` and rebuild.
```nix
{ pkgs, ... }:
{
environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
hyprdim
];
}
```
Alternatively, use `nix run nixpkgs#hyprdim` to start hyprdim without installing it.
### [Arch Linux](https://archlinux.org/) (AUR)
Use an AUR helper like [yay](https://github.com/Jguer/yay) to install [`hyprdim`](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/hyprdim).
```fish
yay hyprdim
```
### [Fedora](https://fedoraproject.org/) (Copr)
[`hyprdim`](https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/solopasha/hyprland/package/hyprdim) is available in the [solopasha/hyprland](https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/solopasha/hyprland) Copr repository.
```fish
sudo dnf copr enable solopasha/hyprland && sudo dnf install hyprdim
```
### Other distributions
Follow the [install guide](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install) for Rust. Then, use cargo to install hyprdim.
```fish
cargo install --git https://github.com/donovanglover/hyprdim --tag 3.0.0
```
Make sure `$HOME/.cargo/bin` is in your `$PATH` if it isn't already.
