Hyprland is a tiling window manager that does not sacrifice on it's looks, it is a wl-roots based compositor that has a lot of eye candy. It was originally made by Vaxry. It is one of the few window manager that aim for pure eye candy with nice animations, smooth looks and it's own somewhat of an ecosystem.
It also has it's very own custom syntax for its configurations. It is somewhat similar to bash scripting and it is quite easy to use. The hyperwm team has also made nice utilities that go well with the tiling window manager. Some like hyprcursor are made to completely change and revolutionize the XCursor style we have been using for years, others like hypridle are made for Hyprland specifically and shares a lot of features with something like swayidle, except it is tightly integrated with Hyprland configuration folders. It also has it's own wallpaper software called hyprpaper which is quite optimized.
Features
There are tons of feature to this window manager like:
- Smooth and animated graphics (such as moving windows, dragging them and in general opening and closing them)
- Gradient customization for pretty much everything like window borders including gradient angles.
- Nice integration with it's own apps (such as hyprpaper, hyprcursor and hypridle).
- Compatibility with most wayland apps and support for
xorg-xwayland. - Decent default configuration file auto-generated and has pretty much all important configurations setup for you (like touchpad tap to click, etc).
