Where Is the Hyprshade Config File?

Hyprshade shader manager TOML variants and shader search paths.

Last updated

Hyprshade accepts two TOML locations. The hypr folder variant and the dedicated folder variant both load. Shaders resolve through user config first, then system share.

Setup runs through install plus a user timer. The example config under share documents the full shape. Keep shaders and config together.

Where Hyprshade stores this, by platform

Linux
~/.config/hypr/hyprshade.toml

Two accepted TOML spots with shaders under user config then system share. Example in share documents keys. Runs through install plus user timer.

Frequently asked questions

How do I back up Hyprshade?

Copy the TOML file plus the shaders folder with the timer stopped. Either accepted filename works. Restoring means putting both back and re-enabling the user timer.

How do I start from scratch?

Copy the example from system share to either accepted path, then install and enable the timer. The example documents every key. Shaders resolve through user then system dirs.
