# Changelog — JAK's Hyprland Dotfiles

## v2.3.19

- 2026-01-04
- Fullscreen or maxixmized would exit using `ALT-TAB` (cycle next/bring-to-front)
  - User `GoodBorn` found this fix
  ```
  misc {
   on_focus_under_fullscreen = 1
   # 0 - Default, no change
   # 1 - New focused window takes over fullscreen (Windows-like Alt-Tab)
   # 2 - New focused window stays behind the fullscreen one
   }
  ```
- Added: modal rule so popup diaglog, like `Save as` or `Open File` center and float by default
  - `windowrule = float on, center on, match:modal:1`

## FIXES:

- Fixed: Opacity for `vscode` configured multiple times
- Fixed: Quickshell `overview` not working, error "Quickshell or AGS not installed"
  - If `shell.qml` exists in `~/.config/quickshell` that blocks overview
  - That file isn't configured for overview
  - Without that file, it will look in the `overview` directory and load the QML code
- Fixed: Waybar Modules, locale not included in clock format
  - Always showed US-EN
  - Thanks to albersonmiranda for finding and fixing it
- Fixed: Not all waybars had `custom/nightlight`
- Fixed: `Weather.py` cache wasn't updating when UNITS changed from C to F
- Fixed: Wallpapers with periods in names truncated
  - https://github.com/JaKooLit/Hyprland-Dots/pull/873
  - Thanks to @godlyfast for the fix.
- Fixed: Overview Toggle keyind SUPER + A now properly detects QuickShell
  - If QS `overview` fails, or is not installed, AGS `overview` will be started instead
- Fixed: `Super J/K` cycle next/prev weren't working in both master / dwindle
- Fixed: `Weather.py` one-off run
- Removed: `Hyprsunset` from status group.
  - Credit: Alberson Miranda
- Added: more application icons for waybars
- `Weather.py` basically rewritten to improve look and functionality
  - Credit: Prabin Panta
  - The Jak team also heavily contributed to the rewrite
- Fixed: Waybar
  - Changing the waybar config `SUPERALT + B` would sometimes need to be done twice
  - Cause: options were incorrect annotated with "👉 ${name}"
- Fixed: `GameMode.sh` to function consistently
- Updated: `WalllustSwww.sh` wallpaper path
- Corrected: Typo in Show Open Apps
- GameMode.sh / Refresh.sh
  - Enabling / Disabling repeatedly would result in multiple waybars
  - Added additional `sleep` commands in `GameMode.sh` and `Refresh.sh`
  - Resolves [Issue 870](https://github.com/JaKooLit/Hyprland-Dots/issues/870)

  `bindmd`, `bindlnd`) in `config/hypr/...`.
- Add concise descriptions for each keybind; keep the name "powermenu".
- Update `config/hypr/scripts/KeyBinds.sh` to parse and display descriptions as:
  MODS+KEY — DESCRIPTION — DISPATCHER [PARAMS].

### 🐛 Fixes

- Updated `/bin/bash` to `/usr/bin/env bash`
- Correct `windowrule` syntax error.
- Ensure wallpaper selector applies wallpaper to SDDM.
