Animated Rainbow Colored Border for Hyprland

[CooSee]

hello,

modified ~/.config/hypr/Settings.conf or all entries in hyprland.conf <<< if you use 1 file config - except for scripts:

Code: Select all

bezier = wind, 0.05, 0.9, 0.1, 1.05
bezier = winIn, 0.1, 1.1, 0.1, 1.1
bezier = winOut, 0.3, -0.3, 0, 1
bezier = liner, 1, 1, 1, 1
bezier = linear, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 1.0

animations {
     enabled = yes
     animation = windowsIn, 1, 6, winIn, slide
     animation = windowsOut, 1, 5, winOut, slide
     animation = windowsMove, 1, 5, wind, slide
     animation = border, 1, 10, default
     animation = borderangle, 1, 100, linear, loop
     animation = fade, 1, 10, default
     animation = workspaces, 1, 5, wind
     animation = windows, 1, 6, wind, slide
}

content of *.sh script ~/.config/hypr/scripts/RainbowBorders.sh:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
function random_hex() {
    random_hex=("0xff$(openssl rand -hex 3)")
    echo $random_hex
}

hyprctl keyword general:col.active_border $(random_hex)  $(random_hex) $(random_hex) $(random_hex) $(random_hex) $(random_hex) $(random_hex) $(random_hex) $(random_hex) $(random_hex)  270deg

hyprctl keyword general:col.inactive_border $(random_hex) $(random_hex) $(random_hex) $(random_hex) $(random_hex) $(random_hex) $(random_hex) $(random_hex) $(random_hex) $(random_hex)  270deg

~/.config/hypr/configs/Execs.conf:

Code: Select all

exec-once = $scriptsDir/RainbowBorders.sh

using border_size = 2

this looks great with Dark Themes https://0x0.st/s/TGndw_0dkJ0nTvMmg8Ikfg/HyJp.png

forgot to mention that i found it here https://www.reddit.com/r/hyprland/comme ... ve_border/ <<< thanks to this user.

edit_1:

Code: Select all

animation = borderangle, 1, 100, linear, loop

fyi - using loop is not recommended anymore - your system will (maybe) use more cpu/gpu
