Premium Settings App

Every KiroTux edition ships its own settings app. You set up the desktop without editing config files. It opens with Ctrl+Alt+H: Kirotux Hyprland Premium in KiroTux Hyprland DMS, Kirotux Niri Premium in KiroTux Niri DMS. Both have the same pages; the niri app shows only what niri supports (no blur).

The app writes only its own settings file next to the edition's config, so your own config stays untouched and you can always go back to the edition defaults.

Look

Icons, cursor, font and light or dark style for every GTK app. DankMaterialShell colours your apps from the wallpaper; tick the box if you'd rather pick the GTK theme yourself. A banner warns when your settings are out of sync, and Fix all repairs them in one go.

Windows

Borders (with gradient), gaps, corner rounding, opacity, blur, shadows and animations. Changes show on your windows right away: Apply keeps them, Revert drops the preview.

Wallpaper

Browse the Kiro wallpapers or your Variety downloads and apply one, or step through Variety's collection.

No wallpapers here? The Variety collection stays empty until Variety has run once. Press Alt + N: Variety starts, downloads wallpapers from Wallhaven and sets the next one. You need an internet connection, and the first one can take a few seconds. Press Alt + N again any time for a new one. All Variety shortcuts are on the Keybindings page.

Displays

Resolution, refresh rate, scale, rotation and position for every screen. Changes show at once, and if you don't confirm within 15 seconds the old settings come back, so a wrong setting never leaves you with a black screen.
