Dotfiles

Configuration files for my Hyprland based, Arch linux setup.

Installing

TL;DR Pull down the headless repo and checkout all the files

mkdir ~/.cfg
alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.cfg/ --work-tree=$HOME'
echo ".cfg" >> .gitignore
git clone --bare https://github.com/benlagreca02/dotfiles.git $HOME/.cfg
config checkout

It will most likely yell at your for existing configs, delete them and then...

config checkout
config config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no

You will most likely want to delete the README.md file. I'm sure there's a way to have the home folder somewhere else, but whatever.

This is the original guide I followed

TODO

This system is never truly complete, as it is always changing. I track things I'd like to change some day here. I drive this system daily without much issue, but whenever I get a minor annoyance, I track it here.

Major (Functional)

• On boot, I get a 10th workspace (if multi-monitor, i get an 11th)
• Consider switching to use quickshell (instead of waybar)
• dunst notificaiton should focus program like discord when clicked (This may be impossible, switch to mako?)
• Learn how to backup system (pacakges and system, not just dotfiles)
• make hyprsunset nightlight intensity adjustable easily (redness) (might just wait until I switch to quickshell)
• Make hyprlock only show on one screen (prompt I mean, wallpaper should be on all)
• When docked and laptop closed, can't wake from suspend. Have to open laptop and hit power button (I think this is just how suspend works)

Theming

Its pretty janky if you look under the hood, but I'm pretty proud of my themeing engine I've thrown together with lots of scripts, and pywal16. I still need to...

• Add more themes! (and tweak to confirm all are readable when developing (hard time currently with git status and git diff messages on space theme) Make the following theme compliant:
• dunst
• vimairline (?)
• waybar calendar thingy highlight color

Minor

These are mostly astetic options, and some minorly functional things

• Make hyprland shadows less weird (I made them huge)
• Tooltips from hovering in firefox get corners cut off
• Some kind of a "now playing" on waybar? (might be easier in quickshell)
• hyprsunset based on timezone sunset, instead of fixed time
• Blueman theme should be dark mode (maybe find cool TUI alternative?)
• Tweak Rofi to look better
• Make dunst recognize spotify vs discord vs other notifs (not strictly necessary)
• essential package install script (like LARBS)
• change around keybinds in newsboat some more

Very Minor

These are mostly ideas, or things I might do

• Research power management stuff (save power when lid closed etc.)
• Add screen mirror button (FN F7)
• make seprate "launch" scripts folder, and maybe add notify if not installed? (Potentially)
• waybar newsboat icon for "unread new feeds" maybe?
• screen rotation in tablet mode potentially?
• Play with the animations in Hyprland
• Rice Discord somehow
• Rice spotify somehow (spicefify)
• Rice newsboat looks
