Xdots (and WLdots as well)

My config files ._.

This config is kida messy BTW, please tell me if I forgot something.

Note: The swayfx config is not completed so make sure to tweak it a little, I'll include it later once I feel like switching.

Applications:

First Install these:

• Rofi (app launcher)
• Picom (compositor for X) (picom-ftlabs-git BTW if you want picom.conf.def (animation))
• Vim (optional)
• fish (optional, bash alternative)
• pywal (Supported on DWM, st and Rofi) (likley everywhere)
• Exa (alternative to ls, you can use l to run it if you apply the fish config)
• xdotool (to apply dwm theme at startup)
• feh/xwallpaper.

For Rofi install:

• scrot (to take screenshots)
• xclip (to copy screenshots immediately)

For video as wallpaper install:

• mpv
• xwinwrap

You can find all of them on pacman or yay or the package manager of your distro.

Don't forget to install X11 libs ._.

Fonts:

The following fonts are required:

• Jetbrains Mono Nerd Font (st/foot)
• Caskaydia Mono Nerd Font (dwm/slstatus)
• Feather (rofi)

Setup:

Move picom, rofi and fish folders into ~/.config/ directory.

Build and install DWM and st and slstatus:

In the dwm/ directory:

make
sudo make install

Repeat for both slstatus and st.

Add this line to your .xinitrc file:

echo "~/.scripts/start.sh && exec dwm" > ~/.xinitrc

Move rofi-applet-apps.rasi to /usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/pywal/templates for pywal support.

sudo mv ./rofi-applet-apps.rasi /usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/pywal/templates/

Finally move the wallpaper.sh and start.sh files to the ~/.scripts/ directory. (optional)

Now run startx and press Alt+ENTER to open st then type start to run all other tools, then press Alt+n to update DWM's colors. (automated now)

Shortcuts:

• Alt+p Screenshot
• Alt+q Close Window

• Alt+n Refresh colors after running pywal.
• Alt+Shift+q Kill the current dwm instance.
