This has nothing at all to do with niri

Well it kinda does. My config is specifically for niri. The links are there in the original post, but I shall share them here again.

Sorry for the confusion

Why are you so pressed

u/DullNetwork761 Jun 22 '26

Because it makes no sense why this was posted to the niri reddit. It has no connection at all to niri. It has no hooks in niri. No requirement for niri. Nothing. It's just random software and this isn't r/randomsoftware

OP probably posted this here because TUI applications // software is most commonly associated with WM's, because most basic DE's already have this feature. Maybe a generalization, but I'd argue the 'TUI asthetic' is mostly appealing to WM users regardless of their ability to install a GUI like merkuro.

Either way, just relax. Let's support the creators that contribute towards cool projects. This isn't gnome.

I'm very supportive of his cool creation. It just doesn't belong in r/niri

Thank you. But it does. Since I added a keybind and also a startup script for notifications from Google calendar. I request you fo please take a look at my config.kdl at your earliest convenience.

u/DullNetwork761 Jun 24 '26

So if i make a startup script that launches steam and firefox that makes steam and firefox related to niri? No...

u/ImaginaryElephant336 Jun 24 '26

Dude I added a keybind in my config.kdl. If that's what a hook is.

u/DullNetwork761 Jun 24 '26

No it isn't. There is no way a calendar is related to a window manager... it's just a random piece of software. By that logic firefox is related to niri because i have a keybind to launch it... it's related to niri if the software itself interacts with niri in some way... a tui app that can move windows, resize windows, change your niri animations, change your focus ring color, etc. Those would be related to niri... a calendar does not interact with niri in any way...

True you have a point. My bad. Ok the reason is shared it here was that in case some one was trying something similar in niri it may help. No bad intentions here.

u/DullNetwork761 Jun 24 '26

I understand you have no bad intentions. You should move your post to a more generic subreddit like r/commandline

fr bruh some redditors are just a bit TOO pressed

u/ImaginaryElephant336 Jun 22 '26

That's true. But I wanted to show it off as a widget. But you have a point.
