🌕 Rxyhn's Beautiful & Aesthetic Configuration Files 🌑

Hi there! Thanks for dropping by! 🖤

Beautiful & Aesthetic AwesomeWM Dotfiles with Animation! ✨

Welcome to my AwesomeWM configuration files! You might be here for looking my AwesomeWM configuration files? or looking for Linux Rice reference? feel free to steal anything from here but don't forget to give me credits :)

AwesomeWM is the most powerful window manager on Linux, Although it takes time and effort to configure it, but I'm very satisfied with the result. This is a beautiful user interface isn't it?

These dotfiles are made with love, for sure.

Here are some details about my setup:

Programs	Using
WM	awesome
OS	arch linux
Terminal	alacritty
Shell	zsh
Editor	neovim / vscode
Compositor	picom
Launcher	rofi

⚠ WARNING ⚠
THIS DOTFILES ARE CONFIGURED AT 1366x768 WITH 96 DPI.

S E T U P

This is step-by-step how to install these dotfiles. Just R.T.F.M.

This setup only provided for Arch Linux (and all Arch-based distributions)

1. Install the git version of AwesomeWM.

   paru -S awesome-git

2. Install dependencies and enable services

   • Dependencies

     paru -Sy picom-git alacritty rofi todo-bin acpi acpid acpi_call \
     wireless_tools jq inotify-tools polkit-gnome xdotool xclip maim \
     brightnessctl alsa-utils alsa-tools pulseaudio lm_sensors gpick \
     mpd mpc mpdris2 ncmpcpp playerctl redshift ffmpeg bluez-utils --needed 

   • Services

     # For automatically launching mpd on login
     systemctl --user enable mpd.service
     systemctl --user start mpd.service
     
     # For charger plug/unplug events (if you have a battery)
     sudo systemctl enable acpid.service
     sudo systemctl start acpid.service

3. Install needed fonts

   You will need to install a few fonts (mainly icon fonts) in order for text and icons to be rendered properly.

   Necessary fonts:

   • Iosevka - here
   • Icomoon - here
   • Material Design - here

   Once you download them and unpack them, place them into ~/.fonts or ~/.local/share/fonts and run this command for your system to detect the newly installed fonts.

   fc-cache -v

4. Install my AwesomeWM configuration files

   Clone this repository

   git clone https://github.com/rxyhn/dotfiles.git
   cd dotfiles

   Copy config and binaries files

   cp -r config/* ~/.config/
   cp -r bin/* ~/.local/bin/
   cp -r misc/. ~/

   You have to add TODO_PATH in your env variable

   export TODO_PATH="path/to/todo"

5. Configure stuff

   The relevant files are inside your ~/.config/awesome directory.

   • User preferences and default applications

     In rc.lua there is a Default Applications section where user preferences and default applications are defined. You should change those to your liking.

     Note: For the weather widgets to work, you will also need to create an account on openweathermap, get your key, look for your city ID, and set openweathermap_key and openweathermap_city_id accordingly.

6. Lastly, log out from your current desktop session and log in into AwesomeWM.
