Border gradients don't work on some NVIDIA GPUs

Border gradients don't work properly. It seems that it does create a gradient but instead of create a linear gradient, it has a direct transition between the 2 colors. Below an example of what i mean.

Layout part of my config file:

layout {
    gaps 18
    struts {
        left 32
        right 32
        top 0
        bottom 0
    }
    focus-ring { off; }
    border {
        width 2
        active-gradient angle=45 from="#ce1270" relative-to="window" to="#dba3e6"
        inactive-color "#6d546d"
    }
    preset-column-widths
    default-column-width { proportion 0.500000; }
    center-focused-column "never"
}

System Information

(using NixOS with the niri flake)

  • niri version: niri unstable 2024-04-21 (commit 49f5402)

Uhh huh, that's weird. Haven't seen that one before. Wonder if it could be Nvidia related

Seems to work for me:

Not sure what could be the cause. Do other angles look the same?

Damnjelly commented

Yes they do, except that the angle of the harsh transition is different. On some angles, e.g. the default 180 degrees, you can't see the second color at all

I am also experiencing this issue (just switched to Niri today - so I'll let you know if I figure something out as I mess around)

I also have this issue.

layout config:

layout {
    gaps 32
    center-focused-column "on-overflow"
    preset-column-widths {
        proportion 0.33333
        proportion 0.5
        proportion 0.66667
    }
    focus-ring {
        width 4
        inactive-color "#505050"
        active-gradient from="#80c8ff" to="#000000" angle=45
    }
}

System Information

(using endeavourOS Arch with niri-git from the AUR)

  • niri version: niri v0.1.7-46-ge98d1ec
  • GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3060 Lite Hash Rate
  • CPU: Ryzen 9 5900X

Tagging this to say I have the same issue. There isn't really a gradient, more like an abrupt change from one color to the next.

Niri Version: main branch
GPU: RTX 3060 Ti

Adding my info here, I'm seeing the above behavior on two machines:

Nyaa

GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090
CPU: 13th Gen Intel i9-13900K (32) @ 5.500Ghz
Niri: 0.1.7 (stable)

Spark

GPU: Integrated
CPU: Apple M1 Pro (Apple Icestorm-M1-Pro (2) @ 2.06 Ghz + Apple Firestorm-M1-Pro (6) @ 3.23 Ghz)
Niri: 0.1.7 (stable)

On an M1 Pro? That's new.
