Eww flickers randomly

[joelpeapen]

This is the same problem as #9330.

eww bar keeps flickering:

eww.mp4

eww windows are also incorrectly rendered:

I don't think this is an issue in eww since it does not happen in SwayWM.

what are the red circles about on the screenshot? whats wrong?

Also if it's just eww maybe it is eww's fault? what if you set an opacity 0.9999 rule for it?

Not eww's fault, happens on waybar too #9330. In the meantime, try switching to a commit before e536b02, 0.46.2 should be the last release

Waybar doesn't flicker for me though. Im on the latest version

[fubuki4649]

Of waybar or hyprland? Do you have transparency?

[joelpeapen]

of both. i have transparency

[guttermonk]

I have hyprland 0.49 and waybar 0.12, and have been experiencing waybar flickering. I have opacity set in the waybar config under window#waybar.

Two related waybar bugs for reference:

Any updates on this?

I had the same issue using Quickshell. You can work around that by enabling xray for that layer.

Same issue with ags v1. Am on an ancient version of hyprland (v0.41.2). Confirmed that adding xray on layer rules to all the surfaces of my bar prevents the issue.
