APEX-OS 2026.09.27.3Before the rename
Windows open, move and switch workspaces on springs
Hyprland's window and workspace motion now uses the same springs as the shell, so windows grow in rather than mostly fading.
Highlights
Windows open, move and switch workspaces on springs
A new window grows in on a spring from 80 % of its size and is opaque within 180 ms. A tile moved again mid-glide keeps its speed, and a workspace slide comes to a clean stop. Closing a window takes 200 ms.
The springs are shared with the shell, so its motion speed setting and Reduce Motion scale them. The shell's own panels are left unanimated by Hyprland, so they grow out of the bar instead of fading in.

If something is wrong
Go back to the image you were running before this one. It becomes the default at the next boot; your files and settings stay as they are.
sudo rime rollback && sudo systemctl rebootOn an APEX-named system the command is apex. You can also pick the previous entry in the boot menu. More in Rolling back and Recovery.
