Getting started

This is my personal setup that I use to quickly bootstrap my machines with a single git clone.

It targets Linux systems, but can also be used on WSLs, systems with just TTY, and Android (via Termux).

In .config there are the configuration files for: shell prompt, terminal, windows manager, status bars, lockscreen, notification daemon, application launchers, fonts, general theming and more.

In .local/bin there are a bunch of bash scripts which wrap the many utilities used and aims to improve interoperability between them, while providing some QoL features on top.

In .config/nvim there is my heavily customized neovim setup, with custom colorscheme, custom keybindings and other customizations.

X11 to Wayland

Since the 4.0 release, I target Wayland based systems; although the scripts should be compatible with both X11 and Wayland, X11 side of the dotfiles should be considered unmaintained, and Wayland should be preferred

Here is a list of the Wayland packages that replaced their X11 counterpart:

| Utility | X11 | Wayland | | ----------------- | -------------------------- | -------------------------------- | | Status bar | polybar | waybar | | Window manager | i3wm | swayvm (swayfx fork) | | Window compositor | picom | included in swayfx | | Lockscreen | i3lock (i3lock-color fork) | swaylock (swaylock-effects fork) | | Night mode | redshift | gammastep | | Screenshots | scrot | grim + slurp |

Quickstart

[!WARNING] Before proceeding to installation make sure to backup your system

Install the required packages

Clone the dotfiles

git clone --bare https://github.com/simonvic/dotfiles.git ${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}/.dotfiles

Checkout the content

git --git-dir=${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}/.dotfiles/ --work-tree=$HOME checkout

Hide the untracked files

git --git-dir=${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}/.dotfiles/ --work-tree=$HOME config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no

Add .local/bin to the PATH enviroment variable

echo '
if [[ $UID -ge 1000 && -d $HOME/.local/bin && -z $(echo $PATH | grep -o $HOME/.local/bin) ]]; then
	export PATH="${PATH}:$HOME/.local/bin"
fi' >> /etc/profile

Make the scripts executable (chmod +x <script>)
Relog or reboot your system to make sure the changes have taken effect

[!TIP] Visit the installation guide for a more in-depth guide.

<h2 align="center">Lockscreen</h2> <img src="https://i.imgur.com/1xyHtuH.gif" width="100%"> <details> <summary>Other themes preview</summary> <img src="https://imgur.com/AD6SStG.gif" width="50%"> <img src="https://imgur.com/t9re5NI.gif" width="50%"> </details> <br> <h2 align="center">Application launcher, window switcher and calculator (Rofi)</h2> <img src="https://imgur.com/iU7AKT8.gif" width="100%">

Rofi themes have been made to be easily configurable and customized. The configuration files and themes are structured like this:

|_ config            (defines rofi behaviour, components and default base UI layout/structure)
|_ Theme             (defines UI layout and structure)
    |_ Style         (defines UI components color and text font)
        |_ Fonts     (defines a set of fonts)
        |_ Palette   (defines a color palette)

A Theme (e.g. fullscreen.rasi, reverse.rasi, window_reverse.rasi etc) only takes care of how the UI components are structured and arranged. It imports a Style.

A Style defines text fonts, imported from a Fonts, and the colors of the components, imported from a Palette

<br> <h2 align="center">Status bars</h2>

sPolybarctl will manage your status bars. It can launch, show, hide or toggle them.

$ sPolybarctl show myFirstBar    # make visible "myFirstBar"
$ sPolybarctl toggle mySecondBar # toggle visibility state for "mySecondBar"
$ sPolybarctl hide               # hide all bars

sPlayerctl helps you in controlling your media players

A great QoL feature is the quick selection of the player you wish to control (via CLI or via media keys)

$ sPlayerctl select-player set spotify

...or even better prompt the selection with a UI via Dunst and Rofi

With sWifi you can quickly scan for WiFi signals, filter and connect to them with few keystrokes.

<img src="https://imgur.com/2vIHj1B.gif"> <br> <h3 align="center">sScreenshot</h3>

sScreenshot allows you to take area or full screenshot, copy it to clipboard and paste it anywhere.

<img src="https://imgur.com/ZfSI0Ea.gif"> <br> <h3 align="center"> Speaker and microphone control</h3>

Nothing special here. sVolumectl and sMicrophonectl allows you to change the volume of the speakers and microphone while showing a dunst notification with a personalizable bar

<img src="https://imgur.com/Zz33t6s.gif" width="100%"> <br> <h3 align="center">Brightness and Redshift control</h3>

sBrightnessctl will adjust the brightness and manage the "night mode" (blue shift) temperature.

sTodo is a minimal TODO manager, which can also show a popup via the notification daemon
