How to disable shading the inactive windows

[addicust]

I find it distracting that inactive windows are shaded blue, the whole point of a tiling window manager is to have multiple windows on screen for viewing at the same time after all. I've systematically gone through all the .conf files but as a new user I cant find it or its not working to disable. I suggest that be turned off by default. Any help is appreciated. In fact I find few of my changes persist a reboot i.e. commented out rainbow borders, continually comes back on its own.

There is info on how to turn off Rainbow borders in the FAQ

But we are not going to change the default. If we do someone else will want it back on. The idea is to customize it as you like.

There are some videos on Jak's youtube channel and many others on how to theme Hyprland

Including the Hyprland Wiki

All of this info was readily avaliable, I made a great effort to figure it out on my own before asking for help. I deleted the rainbowborders.sh and commented out the appropriate line in startup apps. Just curious why my changes dont persist very long.

As for the window dimming/shading I read the wiki extensively and even found values that seem like they are the correct one to change to false, no opacity. These changes do nothing or dont persist long enough to do anything. I think im going to try a fresh install without any bells and whistles when i get home, im just sure thats much more time consuming than being able to modify a line in a file for the desired result, but im new to hyprland, not linux though. More research leads me to dim.inactive= false should fix my problem. Ill have to look through all the configs again when i get home dont recall coming across that one.

There is the active / inactive opacity values, then there are window rules to override them for specific apps.
SUPER + SHIFT + E Is the short cut to bring up the various configuration files. You can comment out all the windows rules for example.

Under decorations are the basic border colors opacity, etc

And under Windows Rules the opacity overrides
