dots-2.0

An updated, revised version of my dotfiles

Dotfiles for this post.

I started using eww as a bar so I wrote everything from scratch and took the opportunity to be more organized.

For the wallpaper dependent colorschemes use: .bscripts/wallset <path to wallpaper>.

The profile picture shown in the lockscreen can be changed by putting the desired image in ~/.face.

Please note that this rice was made for a single 1920x1080 monitor setup, If you have anything different than that you'll have to tweak some things on your own.

The picom fork used for animations might be a little unstable (shouldn't be anymore). For any graphical glitches you may be having, toggle it off and on again with super+p.

Installing

Install process functions a little different since I refactored the whole repo, but it still includes a handy script that automates most things.

Run install.sh:

chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh

Disclaimer: While this script does attempt to create a backup of all files that will be rewritten and asks what to do when a backup already exists, I do not take responsibility for any lost config files as consequence of running this script. You are strongly advised to read the insides of the script before running.

The install script should do the following changes to your files:

1. Move every file/folder that will be changed to ~/.rice-old in an attempt to create a backup
2. Link every folder/file in Configs to ~/.config/<folder/file>
3. Link Assets to ~/.config/rice_assets
4. Link Bscripts to ~/.bscripts
5. Link Walcache to ~/.cache/wal
6. Copy every font at ~/.local/share/fonts/ to Fonts
7. Link Fonts to ~/.local/share/fonts
8. Change permissions of all scripts in the repo to be executable

Additional steps for configuring a colorscheme based Gtk theme:

1. Run lxappearance
2. Select "FlatColor" in the widgets section And that's it, this will make all your Gtk applications follow the colorscheme extracted from your wallpaper.

If you had previously installed this rice before the refactor PR merge, I'd advice you reinstall and then probably delete the following folders and their contents:

• ~/Documents/Sounds
• ~/Pictures/Important
• ~/Pictures/Wallpapers

All those files are now stored at ~/.config/rice_assets.

Updating

Since the install script now uses symbolic links instead of copied files, all you have to do to update your configs to the latest version is to update the repo with git pull.

Keybinds

These are all the keybinds set in the ~/.config/bspwm/sxhkdrc file, however, if you are gonna use this as your daily driver, I highly encourage you to read that file in its entirity at least once, so you know what's going on behind the scenes.

Media keys should also work for controlling play/pause and changing volume.
