HyprPanel 🚀

A panel built for Hyprland with AGS

NOTE: If you would like to support the project, please instead donate to Aylur who put in tremendous effort to build AGS. Hyprpanel likely wouldn't exist without it.

bun:

bun install -g sass

flatpak:

flatpak install flathub --system com.dec05eba.gpu_screen_recorder

Optional Dependencies

pip:

sudo dnf install python python3-pip; pip install gpustat pywal

NixOS

For NixOS/Home-Manager, see NixOS & Home-Manager instructions.

Instructions

AGS

Once everything is installed you need to put the contents of this repo in ~/.config/ags. If you already have something in ~/.config/ags, it's recommended that you back it up with:

mv $HOME/.config/ags $HOME/.config/ags.bkup

Otherwise you can use this command to install the panel:

git clone https://github.com/Jas-SinghFSU/HyprPanel.git && \
  ln -s $(pwd)/HyprPanel $HOME/.config/ags

Nerd Fonts

Additionally, you need to ensure that you have a Nerd Font installed for your icons to render properly.

Launch the panel

Afterwards you can run the panel with the following command in your terminal:

ags

Or you can add it to your Hyprland config (hyprland.conf) to auto-start with:

exec-once = ags

NixOS & Home-Manager

Alternatively, if you're using NixOS and/or Home-Manager, you can setup AGS using the provided Nix Flake. First, add the repository to your Flake's inputs, and enable the overlay.

# flake.nix

{
  inputs.hyprpanel.url = "github:Jas-SinghFSU/HyprPanel";
  # ...

  outputs = { self, nixpkgs, ... }@inputs:
  let
    # ...
	system = "x86_64-linux"; # change to whatever your system should be.
    pkgs = import nixpkgs {
	  inherit system;
	  # ...
	  overlays = [
        inputs.hyprpanel.overlay
	  ];
	};
  in {
    # ...
  }
}

Once you've set up the overlay, you can reference HyprPanel with pkgs.hyprpanel as if it were any other Nix package. This means you can reference it as a NixOS system/user package, a Home-Manager user package, or as a direct reference in your Hyprland configuration (if your configuration is managed by Home-Manager). The first three methods will add it to your $PATH (first globally, second two user-only), however the final will not.

# configuration.nix

# install it as a system package
environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
  # ...
  hyprpanel
  # ...
];

# or install it as a user package
users.users.<username>.packages = with pkgs; [
  # ...
  hyprpanel
  # ...
];


# home.nix

# install it as a user package with home-manager
home.packages = with pkgs; [
  # ...
  hyprpanel
  # ...
];

# or reference it directly in your Hyprland configuration
wayland.windowManager.hyprland.settings.exec-once = [
  "${pkgs.hyprpanel}/bin/hyprpanel"
];

Notifications

HyprPanel handles notifications through the AGS built-in notification service. If you're already using a notification daemon such as Dunst or Mako, you may have to stop them to prevent conflicts with HyprPanel.

NOTE: If your system is in a language other than English, the resource monitor in the dashboard may not work properly.

Configuration

The HyprPanel comes with a configuration menu which is available by opening the Dashboard menu (click the button in the bar with the default - Arch - icon) and then clicking the Gear icon.

Size

The panel is automatically scaled based on your font size in Configuration > General.

Specifying bar layouts per monitor

To specify layouts for each monitor you can create a JSON object such as:

{
    "0": {
        "left": [
            "dashboard",
            "workspaces",
            "windowtitle"
        ],
        "middle": [
            "media"
        ],
        "right": [
            "volume",
            "clock",
            "notifications"
        ]
    },
    "1": {
        "left": [
            "dashboard",
            "workspaces",
            "windowtitle"
        ],
        "middle": [
            "media"
        ],
        "right": [
            "volume",
            "clock",
            "notifications"
        ]
    },
    "2": {
        "left": [
            "dashboard",
            "workspaces",
            "windowtitle"
        ],
        "middle": [
            "media"
        ],
        "right": [
            "volume",
            "network",
            "bluetooth",
            "systray",
            "clock",
            "notifications"
        ]
    }
}

Where each monitor is defined by its index (0, 1, 2 in this case) and each section (left, middle, right) contains one or more of the following modules:

'battery';
'dashboard';
'workspaces';
'windowtitle';
'media';
'notifications';
'volume';
'network';
'bluetooth';
'clock';
'systray';

Since the text-box in the options dialog isn't sufficient, it is recommended that you create this JSON configuration in a text editor elsewhere and paste it into the layout text-box under Configuration > Bar > "Bar Layouts for Monitors".

Additional Configuration

GPU Tracking

If you have an NVidia GPU, you can track your GPU usage in your Dashboard by going to your Settings > Configuration > Dashboard Menu > Track GPU and turning it on.
