Hyprwinwrap - background freezes when changing workspaces
Using cava with hyprwinwrap, upon changing workspaces the background will freeze until the process is ended. I have also tried this with a different terminal(konsole) and with btop instead of cava and the same thing happens.
This could possibly be an Nvidia issue as I have a similar setup on my laptop with no problems.

After updating recently I also experience this now with AMD and NixOS.
flake.nix inputs (versions i am using):
hyprland = { url = "github:hyprwm/Hyprland/tags/v0.40.0"; inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs"; };
hyprland-plugins = { url = "github:hyprwm/hyprland-plugins"; inputs.hyprland.follows = "hyprland"; };
@dafitt perhaps hyprland-plugins has a newer version that no longer works with hyprland 0.40, since hyprland-plugins main follows Hyprland's main branch.
After some testing it turns out that the issue no longer persists if you run kitty with KITTY_DISABLE_WAYLAND set to 1.
... if you run kitty with KITTY_DISABLE_WAYLAND set to 1.
Can confirm it, this works for me too.
I recall having the exact same issue. It wasn't kitty tho, for me it was unity games crashing. What's odd is the fact they are running under xwayland which seems to be what fixes your issues :/
I simply use:
kitty -o linux_display_server=x11 --class=kitty-bg cava
transparent background:
kitty -o linux_display_server=x11 -o background_opacity=0 --class=kitty-bg cava
