Updated to Hyprland v0.47.2

[avih7531]

Full functionality on Hyprland v0.47.2

Big thanks to @noisethanks for his fork which got me 90% of the way there

[daxisunder]

I tested these on official Arch package of Hyprland and everything works as it should.

I had to add changes from #17 to make it work with latest nixos unstable branch. Now it works like a charm. Thanks!!

General Overview

This PR updates the plugin to use newer APIs, improves animation handling, refactors variable usage to shared pointers, and updates documentation for better clarity and setup instructions. The changes are mostly in C++ files that handle focus animations for Hyprland, as well as the README.

---

Key Code Changes

1. Animation Manager and Variable Refactor

• Includes Updated:

  • Changed from #include <hyprland/src/managers/AnimationManager.hpp>
    to #include <hyprland/src/managers/animation/AnimationManager.hpp>
    (in multiple files).

• Variable Types Updated:

  • Switched from raw types like CAnimatedVariable<float> to shared pointer types e.g. PHLANIMVAR<float> and CSharedPointer<SAnimationPropertyConfig>.
  • Replaced direct member access with pointer dereferencing (e.g., m_sFocusInAnimConfig->internalEnabled).

• Animation Handling:

  • Refactored methods to use shared/configured pointers and callbacks.
  • Used new API functions such as HyprlandAPI::addDispatcherV2 instead of addDispatcher.
  • Updated the flash and shrink animation logic to use new member variables and callback signatures.

2. Error Handling and Return Types

• Dispatcher Callback:
  • flashCurrentWindow now returns an SDispatchResult with details about success or failure, error messages, and whether to pass the event.
  • Improved error reporting: e.g., returns "HyprFocus is disabled" or "No previously focused window" messages.

3. README and Documentation

• Install Instructions:
  • Updated hyprpm add line to use a forked repo, added hyprpm enable.
• Config Examples:
  • Provided an improved config sample, with recommended values for animation types, beziers, speeds, and opacity.
  • Clarified the plugin and animation configuration block.
  • Updated defaults for shrink and flash animations.
• Links:
  • Added references to upstream and original repositories.

Assessment

Improvements

• Modernization:
  • Refactors code to use shared pointers and improved API calls, making the plugin compatible with the latest Hyprland changes.
• Robustness:
  • Better error handling in dispatcher callbacks improves user feedback.
• Clarity:
  • README changes make installation and configuration clearer for new users.

Potential Issues

• Breaking Changes:
  • Changes to dispatcher registration (addDispatcherV2) and variable types mean older configs or code may not be compatible.
• Config Migration:
  • Some config keys and recommended values have changed; users may need to update their Hyprland configs.

---

Summary

• This PR substantially refactors the animation code to use modern Hyprland APIs and pointer types.
• It improves error handling and feedback when the plugin is disabled or no window is focused.
• Documentation is updated for clarity and ease of use.
• Overall, these changes modernize the plugin and improve user experience, but may require users to update their configs for compatibility.

I dont have time right now to test this (and I am now using MacOS at work, ew I know, so testing hasn't been happening as often), but @daxisunder approved so YOLO

@daxisunder If I were to add you as a maintainer/admin in this repo, would you like to pick this kind of stuff up going forward.

I only use Hyprland on my desktop which I dont use as much these days, waiting for Asahi support on the M4 Airs xD

[daxisunder]

I'm sorry, but I'm not that good with c++, I just tested it and it works perfectly fine, hence the approval. I would suggest @avih7531 as a maintainer if he's willing.

In the installation instructions you copied the link to my fork instead of yours, just to let you know.

@daxisunder bruh the only C++ I know is what I learned in Grade 7 and in my Intro to Programming Module when I was doing my ComSci, which I failed 🤣
You clearly know C++ just as well as I do, which is knowing enough to be able to figure out what you need to teach yourself xD
So dont doubt yourself :) it is impossible to write shit code, cause its all fucking SHITTTTT in some way 🚀
