Preset Configs

Wave

A smooth waveform preset for a softer continuous look.

This preset favors a continuous wave shape instead of discrete bars. It suits minimal desktops where you want motion without the heavier segmented-bar look.

Wave Smooth Bottom

layer = "background"

Wave Glow Right

[overlay]
monitor_mode = "primary"
layer = "background"

full_length = true
width = 220
anchor_margin = 0
margin_right = 0
margin_left = 0

[visualizer]
layout = "wave"
bars = 30
framerate = 60
wave_stroke_width = 6
wave_fill = true
wave_glow = true
wave_smoothing = 1
wave_motion_smoothing = 0.1
wave_amplitude = 0.9

color_rgba = "rgba(125, 207, 255, 0.78)"
color2_rgba = "rgba(192, 132, 252, 0.78)"

Good Starting Tweaks

  • disable wave_fill for a lighter outline-only look
  • increase wave_stroke_width if the line feels too subtle
  • adjust wave_smoothing and wave_motion_smoothing together for sharper or softer motion
