Single-script builder (nosignal.sh) that turns a stock Arch Linux ISO into a fully-offline installer for a themed Hyprland + caelestia (Quickshell) desktop: matching SDDM greeter, Btrfs/Limine bootable snapshots, chwd-style GPU detection, and a curated "os updates" layer (keybind cheatsheet, settings panels, system polish, on-box management skill). See README.md. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

# NoSignal — monitor control with hyprmoncfg
|
||
|
||
Adds [hyprmoncfg](https://github.com/crmne/hyprmoncfg) (AUR `hyprmoncfg`,
|
||
v1.7.0 at time of writing, MIT) — a terminal-first monitor configurator and
|
||
auto-switching daemon for Hyprland.
|
||
|
||
## What a user gets
|
||
|
||
- **`Super+Ctrl+H`** (Omarchy's "hardware" slot) → spatial layout editor in a
|
||
floating terminal: drag monitors into place, set mode/scale/VRR/mirror/
|
||
transform, press `s` to save a named profile (`desk`, `tv`, …).
|
||
- **`hyprmoncfg apply <profile>`** from any terminal.
|
||
- **`hyprmoncfgd`** (systemd user service) — applies the right profile
|
||
automatically on monitor hotplug and laptop lid open/close. Profiles match
|
||
on monitor make/model/serial, not unstable connector names.
|
||
- Safe apply: reloads Hyprland, verifies, reverts unless confirmed.
|
||
|
||
## Why it fits NoSignal
|
||
|
||
hyprmoncfg writes `~/.config/hypr/monitors.conf` and **refuses to write the
|
||
file unless Hyprland actually sources it** — and the NoSignal base already
|
||
sources exactly that file from `hypr-user.conf` (it's the same file
|
||
`nwg-displays` wrote). So the include chain is already in place.
|
||
|
||
**hyprmoncfg replaces nwg-displays** —
|
||
it covers layout *and* workspace assignment (nwg-displays' two jobs) and adds
|
||
profiles + the daemon; a single writer of `monitors.conf` avoids the two tools
|
||
fighting over the file.
|
||
|
||
## Files
|
||
|
||
| File | Role |
|
||
|------|------|
|
||
| `install-monitor-control.sh` | idempotent installer — installs `hyprmoncfg` (bootstraps yay if needed), verifies the `monitors.conf` source line, appends the bind, enables `hyprmoncfgd` |
|
||
| `hyprland-monitor-control.conf` | `Super+Ctrl+H` bind → appended to `hypr-user.conf` (reuses the base's `TUI.float` window rule: floating 1100×700) |
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
sh ~/Downloads/monitor-control/install-monitor-control.sh
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Also wired into `nosignal-update` as migration `1781233200-monitor-control.sh`.
|
||
|
||
## Packaging
|
||
|
||
- Add `hyprmoncfg` to the package list (AUR).
|
||
- Enable the user service in the skeleton:
|
||
`systemctl --user enable hyprmoncfgd` (or a presets entry).
|
||
- The bind lands via `hypr-user.conf` like the other NoSignal binds.
|
||
- **Remove `nwg-displays` from the package list** (superseded — see above),
|
||
but keep the empty pre-created `monitors.conf` / `workspaces.conf` and
|
||
their `source =` lines.
|
||
- Note: the daemon scores **every** profile in
|
||
`~/.config/hyprmoncfg/profiles/` — don't pre-seed junk profiles in the image.
