Welcome to my GitHub repository of personal dotfiles! These are beautifully created with usability and aestheticism kept in mind. Feel free to explore it, use it or steal copy it, but please give me the credits 😃. If you need any help, you can open an issue on GitHub or you can contact me on Discord: Syndrizzle#3826, I will be happy to help!
- Kitty as the terminal.

- Rofi as the application launcher.
- SLiM as the Display Manager.

Below are the installation steps to install the dotfiles of my setup. Click on a step to Expand it.
1. Install Dependencies:
Before we begin the installation, you need to create a Downloads folder in your /home folder if it is not there by default.
mkdir ~/DownloadsSince we will store temporary cloned files in this folder.
For now the installation instructions are only provided for Arch Based distributions, I have not included the steps for others because I don't want to end up fighting with the compatibility issues on other distributions, I will add them after proper testing.
A one time command to install most of these dependencies with your favorite AUR Helper is given below, however some of them might need to be installed manually. In this case we are using paru, you can any other, I don't mind 🙃
paru -S kitty polybar rofi bspwm-rounded-corners-git xdg-user-dirs nautilus xorg pavucontrol blueberry xfce4-power-manager feh lxappearance papirus-icon-theme file-roller gtk-engines gtk-engine-murrine neofetch imagemagick parcellite xclip maim gpick curl jq tint2 zsh moreutils recode dunst plank python-xdg redshift mate-polkit xfce4-settings mpv yaru-sound-theme fish alsa-utils slim xorg-xinit brightnessctl acpi mugshot playerctl python-pytz glava wmctrl i3lock-color jgmenu inter-font networkmanager-dmenu-git conky-lua bsp-layout zscrollYou also need pylrc which is a python module for handling the lyrics of song in the eww based player. You can skip this if you don't use spotify.
First install pip:
sudo pacman -S python-pipThen:
sudo pip install pylrcTo install pylrc to your main site-packages folder.
Now you gotta install some dependencies which cannot be installed via the AUR helper/Pacman or it is better to install them this way:
Elkowar's wacky widgets are the main widgets that we are gonna use in our system. It is a very essential dependency that you need. First you need the nightly version of rust and also GTK3. A speedy way would be to directly install the binary package of rust nightly from the AUR using your favorite AUR helper:
paru -S rust-nightly-bin gtk3Then we just need to run a few commands assuming you have git installed:
cd ~/Downloads
git clone https://github.com/elkowar/eww.git
cd eww
cargo build --release -j $(nproc)
cd target/release
sudo mv eww /usr/bin/ewwThat installs eww to our root filesystem, which is then sourced from the $PATH.
xqp comes from the author of bspwm. It outputs the pointer ID under the window, basically, it is needed for the right click menu to function when clicking the root window in bspwm. The method of doing this was taken from beyond9thousand
NOTE: You need base-devel installed before this:
sudo pacman -S base-develThen you just gotta do:
cd ~/Downloads
git clone https://github.com/baskerville/xqp.git
cd xqp
make
sudo make installThis picom fork has the best window animations you can get. For eyecandy we are using this fork, this isn't available in the AUR, so you need to install it manually:
First install all the dependencies required to build the compositor:
sudo pacman -S libconfig libev libxdg-basedir pcre pixman xcb-util-image xcb-util-renderutil hicolor-icon-theme libglvnd libx11 libxcb libxext libdbus asciidocThen do the following:
cd ~/Downloads
git clone https://github.com/pijulius/picom.git
cd picom/
meson --buildtype=release . build --prefix=/usr -Dwith_docs=true
sudo ninja -C build installWith that, we have all the dependencies. We can move to the next part.
2. Installing GTK Theme:
To match with the current colorscheme, we are using the Tokyo Night GTK Themecd ~/Downloads
git clone https://github.com/Fausto-Korpsvart/Tokyo-Night-GTK-Theme.git
cd Tokyo-Night-GTK-Theme/
mv themes/Tokyonight-Dark-BL /usr/share/themes/And that's it!
3. Installing Dotfiles:
The step we all have been waiting for.Clone them and install:
cd ~/Downloads
git clone https://github.com/syndrizzle/hotfiles.git -b bspwm
cd hotfiles
cp -r .config .scripts .local .cache .wallpapers ~/
sudo cp -r usr/ /usr/
cp .xinitrc .gtkrc-2.0 ~/Install Fonts:
Assuming you are already in the hotfiles folder
cd .fonts
mv * /usr/share/fontsMove slim.conf and environment to it's location:
Again assuming you are in the hotfiles folder
cd etc/
mv slim.conf environment /etc/Move items in usr folder to their respective places:
sudo mv usr/ /usr/The usr folder contains the cursor theme and some executable scripts.
Spicetify Theme:
Since we copied the dotfiles, we can apply the spicetify theme now. First, install spicetify using:
paru -S spicetify-cli-gitThen, we need to give read and write access to our spotify folder for modifications:
sudo chmod a+wr /opt/spotify
sudo chmod a+wr /opt/spotify/Apps -RAfter that we just need to run:
spicetify config current_theme Ziro
spicetify config color_scheme tokyonight
spicetify config extensions adblock.js
spicetify backup applyThis would install the spicetify theme to your Spotify.
Visual Studio Code Theme:
To get a consistent look for visual studio code, you can install the Tokyo Night Theme from the visual studio code marketplace.
If you are a laptop user, you might want to enable tap to click so that it gets easier to navigate using a touchpad. It is pretty easy to do so! Copy and paste this one command in your terminal to fly!
sudo mkdir -p /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d && sudo tee <<'EOF' /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-touchpad.conf 1> /dev/null
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "touchpad"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
Driver "libinput"
Option "Tapping" "on"
EndSection
EOFIf you are a GitHub user, you can get a notification count on your main bar. For this you will need a GitHub Personal Access Token in order to authenticate yourself with the API. Follow this guide for obtaining the Personal Access Token
Next, you just need to append the token to your polybar script using your preferred text editor, in this case we are using nano :
nano ~/.config/polybar/scripts/githubNow, replace Your_Username in the USER field with your GitHub username.
And then replace Your_PAT in the TOKEN field with your Personal Access Token.
If there are no default directories when you do dir or ls, you might just have to manually create them.
Just install xdg-user-dirs and run the command, then reboot.
xdg-user-dirs-updateSince we are using xfce4-power-manager, we might want to make it toggle the lock screen when the laptop lid is closed, or if the laptop is just idle. To do this we can use xfconf-query to set the command that needs to manually toggle our lockscreen,
xfconf-query -c xfce4-session -p /general/LockCommand -s "$HOME/.scripts/lock-run" --create -t string- rxyhn

- The wallpapers have been taken from Wallhaven, pexels and the tokyo night gtk theme repository
- The icons are from icons8, flaticon, materialdesignicons, IcoMoon, feather-icons and Nerd Fonts
- The Conky theme was taken from closebox73's Scorpio conky themes pack, named "Auva". It was modified to match the color scheme.
That's it! Have a nice day!
