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

At this point, I've been daily driving the system for months with very few issues. Whenver I have an issue, I immediatly address it (if its bad enough) or I simply add it to this giant list, sorted by vibes

Major

• Add a brightness through hyprsunset gamma when connected to monitor that doesn't support it (desktop)
• When docked and laptop closed, can't wake from suspend. Have to open laptop and hit power button (maybe, have to verify)
• "edit configs" script with dmenu/rofi of some kind (can type "rofi" and rofi config will open in vim, distrotube has one)
• Research power management stuff (save power when lid closed etc.)
• Learn how to backup system (pacakges and system, not just dotfiles)
• Dunst Can't close notifications sometimes (b.c. I can't focus them most likely, specifically bluetooth notifications)

Minor

• Rice waybar better, I want icons on the right to be separated
• In kanshi, make docking/undocking generic, for not just my system
• essential package install script (like LARBS)
• Custom VIM colorscheme maybe
• When docked, display brightness leaves weird gap in waybar (not there)
• change around keybinds in newsboat some more

Very Minor

• Make dunst recognize spotify vs discord vs other notifs (not strictly necessary)
• Add screen mirror button (FN F7)
• Make scripts for color scheme changes (?) (HARD)
• fix can't open newsboat from rofi (filepath issue I believe)
• Fix everything to use just the nerdfont version of iosevka, instead of the standalone package
• make seprate "launch" scripts folder, and maybe add notify if not installed? (Potentially)
• waybar newsboat icon for "unread new feeds" maybe?
• Rofi/Dmenu script for selecting common SSH clients somehow (simmilar to web bookmarks potentially)
• screen rotation in tablet mode potentially?
• Play with the animations in Hyprland
• Rice Discord somehow
• Rice spotify somehow (spicefify)
• Rice newsboat looks

Colors

PyWal is cool, but I don't like that it overrides your colors. Errors should always be red, and successes should always be green, regardless of your cool color profiles. I don't want PyWal to make them blue, and darker blue.

Right now, I assume a single wallpaper, and only have one "colorscheme" for hyprland and waybar configured in their respective config files. I used pywal to get a rough sense of the colors, but thats not really my focus right now, I'm more focused on getting everything "functional", then I'll go and get colors working much fancier later. I might do alternate "palletes" somehow, but thats for later. Function > fashion.

The "dream" is to have a set of wallpapers, and on changing them, all colors get updated to match: BUT I have those colors custom defined. I don't like that pywall changes the colors of terminal and vim stuff by default.

This goal would take a lot of scripting, but I need to learn anyways, so I'll do it one day hopefully.
