Does Rio not work well in Hyprland?

[stephanlamoureux]

I am using Arch/Hyprland, and my font will be set, but the font size won't work. The opacity will work, but the blur will not. The padding will also not work for x or y, among other things.

I'm using a basic config:

editor = 'code'
cursor = '▇'
blinking-cursor = true
theme = "catppuccin-mocha"
padding-x = 10
padding-y = 10

[window]
foreground-opacity = 0.6
background-opacity = 0.6
blur = true
decorations = "Enabled"

[renderer]
performance = "High"
backend = "Automatic"
disable-renderer-when-unfocused = false

[fonts]
family = "IBM Plex Mono"
size = 16

[navigation]
mode = "BottomTab"
clickable = true

The issue is that some keys are in the wrong place or have the wrong format.

Font size — size should be a float:

[fonts]
family = "IBM Plex Mono"
size = 16.0

Padding — doesn't go at the root level, it belongs inside [window]:

[window]
padding-x = 10
padding-y = 10

Blur — Rio's blur = true only works if Hyprland has blur enabled for that window. Add this to your hyprland.conf:

decoration {
    blur {
        enabled = true
        size = 8
        passes = 3
        new_optimizations = true
    }
}

windowrulev2 = opacity 0.6 0.6, class:^(rio)$

Without the windowrulev2 opacity rule, the compositor won't treat the window as transparent and blur won't apply even if Rio requests it.

Fixed config:

editor = 'code'
cursor = '▇'
blinking-cursor = true
theme = "catppuccin-mocha"

[window]
padding-x = 10
padding-y = 10
foreground-opacity = 0.6
background-opacity = 0.6
blur = true
decorations = "Enabled"

[renderer]
performance = "High"
backend = "Automatic"
disable-renderer-when-unfocused = false

[fonts]
family = "IBM Plex Mono"
size = 16.0

[navigation]
mode = "BottomTab"
clickable = true

I use hyprland in arch, so if you have any questions, ask me
