It achieves a genuinely adaptive glass look using only Hyprland configuration, with careful engineering of blur, inner rim, shadows, and gradients to mimic real glass refraction. No plugins or external tools are required, making it reliable across Hyprland updates.
A glass theme for Omarchy.
Most Omarchy themes are a palette. This one is a material, and the surfaces have no colour at all. The bar, launcher, OSD, notifications, lock field and window borders are built from white and black at low alpha and nothing else — so they take their colour from whatever is behind them. Over a green wallpaper the desktop is green; over a blue one it is blue; over a photograph it is whatever the photograph is. Nothing needs retuning per wallpaper, because there is nothing tinted to tune.
That is what glass actually does, and it is the one thing a tinted theme cannot fake. The rest is Hyprland's blur, a set of layer rules and per-app background alpha, working together so every surface reads as a translucent pane lit from the same direction.
There is no theme colour left anywhere, including the palette. The only hues
that survive are the ANSI 16, and only because ls needs a directory to look
different from a file and git diff needs an addition to look different from a
deletion. Those are readings, not decoration.
Hyprland 0.56.0 or newer. Five things set that floor, and all of them fail loudly rather than degrading, so it is worth checking before installing:
| Feature | Needs | Why |
|---|---|---|
decoration:rounding_power = 4.5 | 0.47.0 | squircle corners — added as "supercircular window corners" (#8943) |
windowrule/layerrule … match:… | 0.53.0 | the rule syntax was rewritten and the old comma form removed (#12269) |
decoration:glow | 0.55.0 | the inner rim itself — "add glow decoration" (#13862) |
| …with a gradient | 0.56.0 | the rim is lit from one direction, which needs the gradient form (#15208) |
decoration:shadow with a gradient | 0.56.0 | same, for shadows (#14809) |
decoration:motion_blur | 0.56.0 | added as "a motion blur option to windows" (#14911) |
0.56.0 is the binding one. On 0.55 the glow block loads but its gradient does
not, and motion_blur is unknown; below 0.53.0 every windowrule and
layerrule is a config error too — which me
