Step 3. Describe the issue

Hey all,

seems like caelestia-shell isn't available with the new syntax changes that are required from version 0.53 and newer.
Is that the case or is my local version somehow still older?

Tysm for all help!

Logs

No logs required, only errors because of syntax changes

Reminder

• I agree that it's usually impossible for others to help me without my logs.

Caelestia has not been updated to my knowledge to fix the breaking changes made with Hyprland 0.53. They released an option to help fix peoples configs here.
It's not perfect, and there will be some manual fixing required, especially if you edited the configs a bit like i did, but it will get Caelestia back to a fully working state.

Hope this helps!

Caelestia has been updated to match the v0.53 syntax changes. Please update your config.
