What & why

New nightlight shader

Hyprland plugin + C++ QML extension combo to support a custom shader implementation for nightlight which hooks Hyprland's render pipeline to insert itself after the buffer has been mirrored, meaning the shader doesn't shouldn't show up in screen captures.

New config options

• Config.display.nightlight.useNative
• Config.display.nightlight.fadeDuration

Fade duration is not available when useNative == false due to insufficient support from hyprsunset.

Backend config migration

We now have a reliable way to migrate objects in the config file, preserving the user's values cleanly. Can be found in Plugins/ZShell/Config/migration.{c,h}pp.

Usage

// migration.cpp
const QList<ConfigMigrationRule>& ConfigMigrations::rules() {
	static const QList<ConfigMigrationRule> s_rules = {
		migrate("old.object.path", "new.object.path"),
	};
	return s_rules;
}

Once migrated, rules are a no-op and can stay indefinitely (though they shouldn't.)

### What & why ## New nightlight shader Hyprland plugin + C++ QML extension combo to support a custom shader implementation for nightlight which hooks Hyprland's render pipeline to insert itself after the buffer has been mirrored, meaning the shader ~~doesn't~~ shouldn't show up in screen captures. New config options - `Config.display.nightlight.useNative` - `Config.display.nightlight.fadeDuration` Fade duration is not available when `useNative == false` due to insufficient support from hyprsunset. ## Backend config migration We now have a reliable way to migrate objects in the config file, preserving the user's values cleanly.
