elyeandre / awful-dots Goto Github PK

Welcome to my stash of dotfiles of my awesomewm setup. Note that things are likely to be changed in future as I am still working on this setup. Feel free to give a ⭐ to this repo if you liked the setup. It is much appreciated :3

• AwesomeWM: Use the git version. Stable version will not work.
• Picom: Use any picom fork of your liking. (I'm using fdev31's fork)
• nm-applet: Used for wifi.
• Light: Required for the brightness control slider
• Alsa Utils: Required for the volume control slider.
• acpi: Required for the battery widget. You can skip that if you don't have a battery.
• Nitrogen: Another wallpaper setter. This is optional though.
• Playerctl: Required for the music player widget located in the control center.
• Redshift: Used in the bluelight filter widget.
• Scrot: Used in screenshot tool.
• Gpick: Color picker.
• Font: Ubuntu Nerd font is used most of the ui, CaskaydiaCove nerd font and JetbrainsMono nerd font is also used in some place.
• Icon Theme: Papirus(required)
• GTK Theme: Lavanda Dark Compact Tokyonight (Thanks to Mebesus)

These are all I remember right now. If there is any other dependencies that I missed, feel free to open an github issue to inform me.

• File manager: Thunar
• Terminal: Kitty
• Browser: Firefox

Installing the config may break somethings in your pc as I can only try them in my computer. But in case you want to use them anyway, follow the bellow steps:-

yay -S awesome-git

sudo dnf copr enable coolj/awesome-luajit-nightly
sudo dnf install awesome

sudo bash -c "$(wget -q https://pacstall.dev/q/install -O -)"    #for setting up pacstall(Skip if you already done it)
pacstall -I awesome-git

nm-applet NetworkManager light alsa-utils acpi playerctl scrot picom

redshift gpick nitrogen lxappearance

git clone https://github.com/Amitabha37377/Awful-DOTS.git
cd Awful-DOTS

mkdir ~/.themes
mkdir ~/.icons
mkdir ~/.local/share/fonts

mv ~/.config/awesome ~/.config/awesome.bak
cp -r awesome ~/.config/
cp -r Misc/fonts/* ~/.local/share/fonts/
cp -r Misc/gtk_themes/* ~/.themes/
cp -r Misc/icon_packs/* ~/.icons/

Notification Center

Screenshot Tool

• Implementing global search in app launcher

• How to make the media player functional?

  First make sure that plasma-browser-integration package is installed in your system. Install plasma integration browser extension in firefox. Go to the manage extension settings of the plasma integration extension and uncheck Enhanced Media Control. Hopefully it will work. (The media player might have some bugs/issues right now.)
  

• Setting up the Weather Widget inside dashboard

  First of all make an account in https://openweathermap.org/ and generate the api key and get your city ID. Then make a file names weather.sh in your home directory and put the below script in that file:

  bash -c '
    KEY="<api-key>"
    CITY="<city ID>"
    UNITS="metric"
    weather=$(curl -sf "http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?APPID=$KEY&id=$CITY&units=$UNITS")
    if [ ! -z "$weather" ]; then
        
        weather_temp=$(echo "$weather" | jq ".main.temp" | cut -d "." -f 1)
  
        weather_icon=$(echo "$weather" | jq -r ".weather[].icon" | head -1)
        
        weather_description=$(echo "$weather" | jq -r ".weather[].description" | head -1)
        
        location=$(echo "$weather" | jq -r ".name")
        
        country=$(echo "$weather" | jq -r ".sys.country")
        
        humidity=$(echo "$weather" | jq -r ".main.humidity")
        
        wind=$(echo "$weather" | jq -r ".wind.speed" |  cut -d "." -f 1)
        
        feelslike=$(echo "$weather" | jq -r ".main.feels_like" | cut -d "." -f 1)
  
        echo "$weather_icon"  "$feelslike" "$weather_temp" "$location" "$country" "$humidity" "$wind" "$weather_description"
        # echo "$weather" 
    else
        echo "... N/A  Earth (Probably) N/A N/A Loading..."
    fi'

  replace the <api key> with your actual openweather api key and replace <city ID> with your city ID in the weather.sh file

• Stardust kyun (His absolutely amazing beginner friendly dotfiles. Stole some part of code from his notification center, app launcher, notification settings)
• rxyhn (Used his colorscheme from yoru in many places)
• Manilarome (Stole some widgets. )
• Bling (Used the app launcher and playerctl widget)
• Awesome wm widgets by streetturtle (Used the calendar widget and battery widget)

And many other awesome people who answered my stupid questions in discord and from whom I got inspiration and design ideas.
