Dotfiles

About

Since the last time I accidentally deleted all my config files, I started to figure out that these files are very important for me. Unfortunately, at this time my timeshift doesn't backup and i don't know why. For the peoples like me who use lightweight linux system with standalone window manager and custom configurations, reconfigure everythings from scratch isn't easy.
So I have decided to backup and version contorl all these files.

Configurations

• Alacritty - Terminal
• Qtile - Window Manager written and configured in Python
• Dmenu - Universal Suckless Dynamic Menu
• Rofi - Dmenu Replacement With More Features
• Xinit - X display server
• Bash - Bash
• Vim - Best Text Editor,IDE
• Neovim - An Implementation of Vim
• Sxhkd - Keybindings Deamon
• Dunst - Lightweight Notifications Daemon
• Picom - Standalone Compositor For Xorg
• Starship - Shell Prompt
• Vifm - Terminal Base Filemanager with Vim keybindings
• Custom Scripts - My Custom Scripts

Setup

This section is for future me and someone who want to use my configs.

New Linux Installation Setup

⚠️ warning: Run this script only when new machine setup or when new linux installation because this script can break your current configurations.

Set permission: chmod +x setup.sh
Run setup: ./setup.sh

Setup Manually

I recommended directly copy the configurations.

1. Linking

Clone this repo and link files manually. example: ln -s $PWD/.dotfiles/alacritty/ ~/.config/alacritty

2. Raw Files

Or download custom raw files and place in correct directory ~/.config or home.
example what if picom:
cd ~/.config && mkdir picom && cd picom
download raw file.
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yezarniko/dotfiles/main/.config/picom/picom.conf

3. Copy Directly

Or copy custom configurations.

Install Packages

Arch

Install from your package manager.
sudo pacman -S alacritty qtile xorg-xinit xwallpaper vim neovim sxhkd sxiv dunst starship rofi vifm dmenu paru
picom has a lot of fork and I use jonaburg's one.
paru picom-jonaburg-git

Install Custom Scripts Dependencies

Install from your package manager.
sudo pacman -S xorg python3 brightnessctl libxrandr libnotify paru
xidlehook is the same as xautolock but rewritten in Rust. Also i3lock-color is exactly the same as i3lock but I love to have colors.
paru xidlehook i3lock-color

Install Vifmimg Script For Vifm's Image Preview, Video Thumbnail and others

git clone git@github.com:cirala/vifmimg.git && cd vifmimg
sudo make install
Prerequisites here https://github.com/cirala/vifmimg#prerequisites.

Appearance

I also love to have uniform look in all apps, mainly in terminal and gtk apps.So I mainly use one theme called dracula. But most qt(kde) apps like virtualbox, qbittorrent and okular are look weired with dracula theme.I used Breeze theme for this apps. For icons, I mainly used Papirus.

Gtk and Icons

I use ant-dracula for gtk3 and dracula for gtk2.
paru ant-dracula-gtk-theme dracula-gtk-theme papirus-icon-theme
Here my configs: gtk3, gtk2

Qt(KDE)

If you want to use breeze sudo pacman -S breeze.
Or dracula with kvantum paru kvantum-qt5 kvantum-theme-materia ant-dracula-kvantum-theme-git.

Added these two lines to one of these ~/.bashrc, ~/.bash_profile, ~/.xinitrc.
export QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=Breeze
export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct

If you want to use dracula with kvantum engine, replace Breeze with Kvantum. And then run kvantummanager and change theme.

Fonts

The fonts I mostly use are Roboto and mononoki Nerd Font.

Wish

Good Luck my dear future me. Happy hacking!
