Hello! Thank you for dropping by! 👋

These are my xmonad configurations, and they go brr! 🚀 (Let's stop that there).

If you're here, I suppose you want to be cloning this configuration, for which look at the Installation Section below. 👇

Even if you're not, just look through the gallery:

Keybinds ✍️

These are the basic keybinds. Read through the xmonad/xmonad.hs file for more keybinds like increasing gaps and restoring gaps.

Note: Toggling means to enable if inactive or to disable if active.

Note: Win refers to the Super key.

Installation 🤵‍

Alright, let's get to the main stuff.

If you feel like you don't want to read so much, here's a video, courtesy of @SavvyNik!

Nik's Installation Video for Arch Linux

Note: Whatever method you follow, if you want the weather and quote features to work as well, you need to modify your crontab as follows:
(To edit your crontab, crontab -e as a normal user.)

0,30 * * * * /home/{Your-username}/.config/eww/scripts/getweather
@reboot /home/{Your-username}/.config/eww/scripts/getquotes

And please follow these next few steps as well:

• Add export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/bin" to your ~/.bashrc file (or a shell of your choice).
• Edit the script in ~/.config/eww/scripts/getweather. Further steps are specified within that file.
• Open tint2conf and edit the theme panellauncher.tint2rc. In there, head over to the Launcher tab and set the icon theme as candy-icons.
• Get the Museo Sans 300 (ONLY THE 300 WEIGHT PLEASE, OTHERS LOOK WEIRD) font from Adobe itself or any other sources, put the .ttf or .otf file in your ~/.local/share/fonts
  • Run fc-cache -f after getting the font.
• If the widgets don't work properly, go to the main repository and install eww as documented. Make sure the resulting binary is stored in ~/bin.
• Issue xmonad --recompile after you complete all the steps, and relogin to xmonad.
• For the profile picture to load, it needs to have the full path in eww.scss. Open the file, search for the string containing ~/.config(line number 329 to be exact) and edit it to point it to your image. Full path required. For example: $HOME/path/to/image.png.

For Arch Linux and it's derivatives (make sure you have git installed): 🌇

THIS MAKES BACKUPS TOO, SO YEAH. JUST DO IT. DO IT!

$ git clone https://github.com/Axarva/dotfiles-2.0.git
$ cd ./dotfiles-2.0
$ chmod +x ./install-on-arch.sh
$ ./install-on-arch.sh
$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libasan.so.8 /usr/lib/libasan.so.6 #This is here for tint2 to work.

That'll do the basic stuff. For a complete copy, look at the list of dependencies below.

AND DON'T FORGET TO READ WHAT'S WRITTEN AT THE END OF THE MAIN INSTALLATION SECTION UP THERE. Further steps are specified there. (Yes. Absolutely needs to be shouty capitals.)

For Gentoo Linux users (And basically any other distro): 🚂

I'm sorry I couldn't do it. You'll have to manually install dependencies.

Piece of good advice: If you use systemd, go ahead and ignore this, and skip to Going ahead: Others Edition.

In case you use something else, I recommend opening this repository in a text editor after you clone it, and global-replace the stuff that suits your system. After that, go ahead with Going ahead: Others Edition.

Going Ahead: Others Edition

You need to install the dependencies yourself, this script will add the fonts and the configs (and back up existing ones too):

$ git clone https://github.com/Axarva/dotfiles-2.0.git
$ cd ./dotfiles-2.0
$ chmod +x ./install-on-gentoo.sh
$ ./install-on-gentoo.sh

AND DON'T FORGET TO READ WHAT'S WRITTEN AT THE END OF THE MAIN INSTALLATION SECTION UP THERE. Further steps are specified there. (Yes. Absolutely needs to be shouty capitals.)

Dependencies 📊

Here you go. Make sure you have em all.

• xmonad
• eww (ElKowar's Wacky Widgets, binary included, but I encourage you to build it yourself and put the binary in your ~/bin).
• firefox (Not exactly a dependency)
• rofi version 1.7.0 (Configs originally come from @adi1090x, been edited by me).
• tint2 (Please use this fork ONLY, or issues will occur. Binaries provided already.)
• acpi
• Museo Sans Font by Adobe (I think it needs some sort of acount, but get it) Or just search for it on the web and get it somewhere
• Nerd Font (I include some, but you can use any of your choice.)
• playerctl
• brightnessctl
• candy-icons
• dunst
• Spotify (for cover art, else edit the eww/scripts/getart script accordingly)
• An OpenWeatherMap Account, (view eww/scripts/getweather script for more info)
• feh
• NetworkManager
• greenclip
• alacritty
• picom (fork of ibhagwan or jonaburg)
• jq: Command line json parser (Needed for widgets)
• maim and xclip for screenshots
• mpv for low-battery sound playing (Not exactly necessary, you'll get the notification, but the sound depends on it.)
• Might need to be updated, so please tell me

Troubleshooting 🔫

And here we are:

1. If xmonad doesn't build make sure you have the xmonad-contrib package.
2. Bar looks weird: Try editing it a bit using ~/bin/tint2conf.
3. Alacritty configs are faulty: I'm not sure about this one, works perfectly fine for me.
4. Widgets positioning weird: I hardcoded them for a 1366x768 screen, will create others if I can
5. Fonts: GET THOSE FONTS!
6. MAKE SURE YOUR ~/bin DIRECTORY IS IN YOUR PATH, OR NOTHING WILL WORK! (Yes. Absolutely needs to be shouty capitals.)
7. For instructions regarding use on VirtualMachine, please do check the VM folder of this repository.
8. Bars not showing on Arch Linux: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libasan.so.8 /usr/lib/libasan.so.6
9. The workspace indicator bar issue has been solved through the binaries in my fork.
10. Anything else? Open up an issue.

🌟 Good Luck and Cheers! 🌟
