# Layer Rules — Hyprland 0.48–0.51

Layers are non-window surfaces: status bars, wallpapers, launchers, notifications.

## Syntax (current: 0.48–0.51)

```
layerrule = match:namespace ^(regex)$, effect
```

Use `hyprctl layers` to find a layer's namespace.

## Effects

| Effect | Notes |
|--------|-------|
| `no_anim` | Disable animations |
| `blur` | Enable blur |
| `blur_popups` | Blur popups too |
| `dim_around` | Dim everything behind layer |
| `animation style` | Override animation style |

## Our rules

```
layerrule = match:namespace ^(quickshell)$, no_anim
layerrule = match:namespace ^dms:.*, no_anim
```

## 0.52+ block syntax (not yet installed)

```
layerrule {
    match:namespace = ^(quickshell)$
    no_anim = on
}
```
