Sway Config
Getting coding superpowers with this dark theme! NOTE: This is very obsolete atp
If you just want the dotfiles, skip here[1]. If some files are missing, go here[2].
Plymouth Themes
I use a custom plymouth theme from this repository. A lot of cool themes are available here. Choose one to your liking.
git clone https://github.com/adi1090x/plymouth-themes.git # now mv all of that in /usr/share/plymouth/themes sudo plymouth-set-default-theme -R angular
Sway config
It is mostly arranged and commented enough for you to set up. In any
case: - variables contain some of the definitions and the rofi
command. - systemd-services are there to fix a bug with firefox.
Unfortunately I cannot find the link to the discussion, but if you do
I'll be glad. - output should honestly not be a separate file. It will
only make sense to have it if you use multiple displays. I use wpaperd
and an autotiling script to split the window based on the dimensions of
the window. The script is included in the .bin folder. - input is
for my trackpad configuration. - swaylock contains the config for how
to activate swaylock. Before sleeping, grim takes a screenshot of the
current workspace which is blurred by convert command. Then swaylock
uses it as the background. - keybinds are the most detailed of them
all. It is divided accordingly. - bindings-brightness is meant to
override a system config file that sent a notification every time I
increased or decreased brightness/sound. This file sends it to wob
instead. - autostart is for starting applications when sway starts. -
windows is for window decorations and related config. - bar is for
setting waybar and using nm-applet and blueman.
Waybar
Pretty much the standard fedora config that is recoloured and rearranged.
GTK Windows
Open DCONF editor and navigate to /org/gnome/desktop/wm/preferences.
Over there change the button-layout to ':'. This removes all the
buttons from the top bar. I use keybindings to minimize, maximize and
close my windows, so I don't need them.
Do NOT set it to
''otherwise sushi file previewer in Nautilus will stop working.[3]
Firefox and Librewolf
I use both of them as flatpaks. To style them use the stylesheet
provided in the repositories. Find your browser profiles in
/var/app/<firefox folder>/.mozilla/firefox/<alphanumeric-string>.default-release/.
If chrome folder doesn't exist create one. Put the userChrome.css
there.
I use mdbook as a local content management system. My home page is
there and the entire notebook is hosted on localhost so that I can
access it without internet anytime. THe home page is also there in the
repository in the /home folder. The autostart script is there for
starting mdbook as soon as I log in to my gnome session.
ZSH and other terminal stuff
I use zsh instead of bash. My zshrc is there in the repository. It uses a custom prompt, the main thing about which is the screensaver equivalent and the git prompt. The screen times out after 2 minutes and starts pipes-rs.
The git prompt tells you if there are any unstaged/uncommitted changes along with the branch.
I also use peaclock and
cbonsai. I have a markdown
to-do list that opens up in a floating window for me to edit with
Ctrl-Shift-Enter. It is integrated with nwg-wrapper that displays it
on my desktop.
Flatpaks
I only use flatpaks for all applications if possible. I prefer user installations, but system doesn't really make a difference either.
Obviously you'd be needing flatseal and flatsweep.
Install both Adw-Gtk3 and Adw-Gtk3-dark as application themes for greater visual consistency.
Common Errors and Issues
The icons may not render properly if a custom icon theme is used. For that you need to give it filesystem permissions so that it can access the icons.
Using flatseal give it read-only permissions to the icons directory. Alternatively, the less recommended way is to use the below command.
sudo flatpak override --filesystem=$HOME/.local/share/icons
This is for the case when your icons are in .local/share/icons. If
they are somewhere else you need to set change the path appropriately.
You need to manually export dbus environment variables but that is taken care of in the config itself.
Telegram Theme
It is there in the repository. You can also join the Telegram Themes Channel. Open it in telegram and you'll get the option to install the theme. You can also customize the theme yourself to get the required colours through the application itself.
