Gentoo / Hyprland
The configs I use on my Gentoo machine. Hyprland runs the session; Quickshell supplies the bar and desktop controls. The look is deliberately plain: near-black surfaces, a muted blue accent, small gaps, and Maple Mono in the terminal.

Session details
Hyprland uses the dwindle layout with 5 px inner gaps, 10 px outer gaps, and a one-pixel border. SUPER+E launches Foot, SUPER+D opens the launcher, and SUPER+P opens the wallpaper picker. Media keys control playback, volume, and brightness; Print takes a full screenshot, while Shift+Print starts a region capture.
The Quickshell bar sits on the left. Its panels cover audio devices and playback, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, battery, brightness, night light, and the system tray. There’s also a calendar, wallpaper browser, and power menu. The same palette appears in Foot and the Quickshell panels.
Foot uses Maple Mono at 9 pt, 14 px padding, and 10,000 lines of scrollback. Fish starts without a greeting; Fastfetch provides the machine summary when run from the terminal.
Software
Gentoo Linux, Hyprland, Quickshell, Fish, Foot, Fastfetch, and Hyprpaper make up the session. Quickshell talks to PipeWire through pactl and its PipeWire module; NetworkManager and BlueZ provide network and Bluetooth control. Other commands used by the configs include playerctl, wpctl, brightnessctl, hyprsunset, grim, slurp, and wl-clip-persist.
Adapting it
The current plant wallpaper is included at Pictures/Wallpaper/wallhaven-d5dkjm.jpg. The live config expects wallpapers in ~/Pictures/Wallpapers, and changes them through ~/.local/bin/wallpaper-set. This isn’t a portable installer: it also expects the KVJ GTK theme and Bibata Modern Classic cursor, and uses doas for power and WireGuard actions. Check those paths, programs, and privileges before copying the files to another machine.
