Preset Configs

Floating

A looser floating-particle preset for a more playful animated overlay.

This preset builds on the particle-style renderer but leans into a more free-floating look. It uses the normal edge overlay geometry, so overlay.position controls whether it appears on the bottom, top, left, or right edge.

Floating Bottom

[overlay]
monitor_mode = "primary"
layer = "background"
position = "bottom"
full_length = true
height = 260

[visualizer]
layout = "floating"
bars = 16
bar_width = 50
gap = 14
framerate = 60
color_mode = "gradient"
color_rgba = "rgba(251, 191, 36, 0.8)"
color2_rgba = "rgba(244, 114, 182, 0.8)"

Good Starting Tweaks

  • reduce bars if the floating effect feels too busy
  • change the gradient to cooler colors for a calmer desktop mood
  • increase height if you want more vertical movement room
