I think niri
needs a way to set environment variables in itself config file.
In hyprland, I'm using env = QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME, qt5ct
to set environment variables for window manager.
In niri, I can write QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct
in /etc/environment
.
But if I do it, these environment variables are play a part in everywhere for my system.
It doesn't make a difference than I set environment variables in window manager config file if I only use wayland.
but I'm not only use niri and other wayland window manager, I also use bspwm
(x11 window manager), because some x11 apps are doesn't work use xwayland, they are only work in raw x11 environment, If I write QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland
in /etc/environment
, in bspwm
, qt apps are all doesn't work.
So niri
needs a way to set environment variables only for itself. such as this
env {
QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME "qt5ct"
}
