If you do not want this, **you can remove it in the given applications `style.css` and add valid color values.** Although I highly recommend `Pywal` It's Pretty cool!
## Install
Experimental Install Script
#### Please Note that this script is experimental and might not work properly. Please make sure you know what you are doing lol.
- With this script you should be able to install everything together, or the applications and their configs individually.
- Dont worry it only really installs what is needed unless you select the everything script.
```
cd && git clone https://github.com/elifouts/Dotfiles.git
cd ~/Dotfiles/InstallScripts
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh
```
## My Applications
๐ฅ Waybar





## Overview
This is my minimal Waybar setup for Hyprland, designed to be clean and efficient. It includes all the essential features I wanted in Waybar. For additional needs like volume control, I use `swaync`, which can be triggered from Waybar.
## Workspaces
Iโve configured the workspaces so that if there is content on a workspace, the dot appears darker. This helps you keep track of your open content! Inspiration from [Gbar](https://github.com/scorpion-26/gBar).

## Expanding Waybar
In the screenshot below, youโll see a method to hide and reveal certain widgets you donโt need all the time. You can easily add or remove widgets in `~/.config/waybar/config` under the `group/expand` section.
- **Network Widget**: Iโve configured it to not display your IP by default (it did that for some reason). Clicking the network widget opens `nmtui` in `kitty`.
- **Hyprpicker Widget**: This custom widget lets you use `hyprpicker`, display values when hovered, and copy the hex value to your clipboard.

## Configuration
### *How To Install*
1. **Install [Waybar](https://github.com/Alexays/Waybar)**
2. Copy the `Dotfiles/.config/waybar` folder into `~/.config`
***NOTE*** *Make sure you have a Pywal theme set or else waybar will not load*
### Dependencies
```
waybar
hyprpicker
pywal
blueman
bluez
networkmanager
swaync
yay
```
### How to Add Blur
Add this to the end of your `hyprland.conf`:
```
layerrule = blur, waybar
layerrule = ignorezero, waybar
layerrule = ignorealpha 0.5, waybar
```
๐ Wofi



## Configuration
### *How To Install*
1. **Install `Wofi`:**
```
sudo pacman -S wofi
```
2. Copy the `Dotfiles/.config/wofi` folder into `~/.config`
3. **Launching Wofi**
- I launch wofi like this:
```config
wofi --show drun -n
```
### How to Add Blur to Wofi
Add this to the end of your `hyprland.conf`:
```
layerrule = blur, wofi
layerrule = ignorezero, wofi
layerrule = ignorealpha 0.5, wofi
```
### `Pywal` with Wofi
**If you want Pywal colors**
- In `~/.config/wofi/style.css`, update the hostname in the file path to your `pywal` colors.
**If you don't want Pywal colors**
- You can remove the top line of your style.css and replace the colors at the top with your desired choice.

layerrule = blur, swaync-notification-window
layerrule = ignorezero, swaync-control-center
layerrule = ignorezero, swaync-notification-window
layerrule = ignorealpha 0.5, swaync-control-center
layerrule = ignorealpha 0.5, swaync-notification-window
```
๐ Hyprlock



## Overview
- Hyprlock uses the current wallpaper from Pywal to generate a background, displays a greeting with your username, and applies Pywal colors.
- You can bind Hyprlock to a key, use it with `hypridle`, or configure it however you prefer.
- If you want to configure `hypridle` as well, Iโve included a `hypridle.conf` file in the same directory as Hyprlock.
## Configuration
### *How To Install*
1. **Install [Hyprlock](https://github.com/hyprwm/hyprlock/)**
2. Copy `Dotfiles/.config/hypr/hyprlock.conf` to `~/.config/hypr`
๐ Nvim


## Overview
- This Neovim "rice" is a simplified version of Lazyvim, created with custom Lua files. Itโs lightweight and includes only what you need. I just installed lazy and configured only the pluggins I wanted.
- It features:
- Alpha-nvim
- Pywal theme
- Autocompletion
- Lualine
- Tabline
- Glow
- Noice
- Mini-icons
- Snacks
- bigfile
- indent
- input
- quickfile
- scroll
- statuscolumn
- words
- Neo-tree
- Telescope
- Treesitter
- Gitsigns
- Colorizer
### *How To Install*
1. **Install `Neovim`:**
```bash
yay -S neovim
```
2. Copy `Dotfiles/.config/nvim` into `~/.config/`
3. Start `nvim` and watch it install all necessary components.
๐ช Wlogout



### *How To Install*
1. **Install `wlogout`:**
```bash
yay -S wlogout
```
2. Copy `Dotfiles/.config/wlogout` into `~/.config/`
3. If not already set make sure you set a key bind in hyprland.conf to launch wlogout.
๐ผ๏ธ Wallpaper Solution/Pywal
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/916a6edc-2d4f-4243-9b65-5ddad5272e45
## General Overview
- The `wallpaper.sh` script in `Dotfiles/.config/hypr/` applies a wallpaper using `swww` and sets the `Pywal` theme. It also updates Kitty's color scheme, Cava, nvim (if configured), and any other application using `pywal`.
- The script uses Wofi to select wallpapers. I have not been able to optimize the wallpaper loading so it might load slowly but it should work.
### Dependencies
- `swww`
- `pywal`
- `wofi`
- `fd`
### *How To Install*
- Install dependencies:
```bash
yay -S swww pywal wofi fd
```
1. **Copy Configuration Files:**
- Copy `Dotfiles/.config/wal` to `~/.config/` to provide `pywal` with the necessary template for Hyprland.
- Copy `Dotfiles/.config/hypr/wallpaper.sh` to `~/.config/hypr/`.
- Copy `Dotfiles/.config/wofi` to `~/.config/`. ( Check the Wofi tab for how to configure blur )
2. Bind the script to a key combination of your choice to easily change your wallpaper.
3. Make sure to add the following line to your `hyprland.conf`:
```bash
exec-once = swww-daemon
```
๐ฆ Pywalfox



## Overview
- This is a way to configure `Firefox` so that it uses `Pywal` colors. After proper configuration, `Firefox` will change automatically when `Pywal` updates its color scheme.
### Dependencies
```
Firefox
Python
Pywal
```
### *How To Install*
1. **Install [Pywalfox](https://github.com/Frewacom/pywalfox)**
2. Run `pywalfox install`
3. Install Firefox add-on for PywalFox
4. Run `pywalfox update` in your terminal or add it to a script to update the `Firefox` theme after generating `Pywal` colors.
๐ Starship


## Overview
- This is a custom Starship config that is minimal but yet has everything you need/want from a terminal prompt.
### *How To Install*
1. **Install [Starship](https://github.com/starship/starship?tab=readme-ov-file#-installation)**
2. Copy the `Dotfiles/.config/starship.toml` folder into `~/.config`
3. Add this to your `.bashrc` file:
```bash
eval "$(starship init bash)"
```
- Or go [here](https://github.com/starship/starship?tab=readme-ov-file#step-2-set-up-your-shell-to-use-starship) to find what you need for your shell.

## Help
Apps Fuzzy or Blurry?
#### This may be because they need to be run with Wayland or are Electron applications
- The solution I found is to add the following to `/usr/share/applications/{app}.desktop` after `exec=/app/executable/app`
- Works on `Spotify` `Discord`
```
--enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland --uri=%U
```
- ***NOTE*** This gets removed if the app is redownloaded! I'm not sure how to make this a global thing. I have tried and failed. Help?
Cant Find a file that is in .cache?
### You may be looking for a file that looks something like this:
`@import url('/home/eli/.cache/wal/colors-waybar.css');`
That file is one of many that is created by `Pywal`. Try replacing eli with your $USER and see if that works. Alternatively, you can do one of the following:
- create your own file which would look something like this:
```
@define-color background ;
@define-color color0 ;
@define-color color9 ;
```
Instead of those colors, you can use whichever color is needed by the style.css file.
- create the colors manually in the style.css files you took those paths from.
```
@define-color ;
```
- Find the sections of that file that are calling the missing file, such as `$color2` or `@color2` and replace it with a valid value.
## Notes
- If you want Cava to work with `Pywal`, it is already in the wallpaper.sh, but find the section needed and copy the config file I have into your `~/.config` directory.
- Am about to start working on an eww dashboard so look out for that
๐ฅ Download Suggestions
- This is everything I think is essential to have. At least for me. I would suggest doing your own research before blindly downloading everything here. This is here just so if I break my computer which we all know I will, I can remember what I need/want!
