This countains My Arch Linux Dotfiles for a clean looking lightweight Hyprland settup.

⚠️ All Configurations were meant to be used with Pywal ⚠️

If you do not want this, you can remove it in the Applications style.css and add valid color values. Although I highly recomend Pywal Its Pretty cool!

ENJOY!!

My Applications

🖥️ 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

I’ve 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.

Expanding Waybar

In the screenshot below, you’ll see a method to hide and reveal certain widgets you don’t need all the time. You can easily add or remove widgets in ~/.config/waybar/config under the group/expand section.

• Network Widget: I’ve 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.

How To Install

1. Install Waybar
2. Copy config Files
   • Copy the Dotfiles/.config/waybar folder into ~/.config

🖼️ Wallpaper Solution/Pywal

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 with the selected colors.
• The script randomly picks an image from a specified directory (though the selection process isn't fully systematic yet).

Dependencies

• swww
• pywal

How To Install

• Install swww:

  sudo pacman -S swww

• Install pywal:

  yay -S pywal

2. Copy Configuration Files:

   • Copy the Dotfiles/.config/wal folder to ~/.config/ to provide pywal with the necessary template for Hyprland.
   • Copy Dotfiles/.config/hypr/wallpaper.sh to ~/.config/hypr/.

3. Set Up Keybinding:

   • Bind the script to a key combination of your choice to easily change your wallpaper.

4. Add to Hyprland Configuration:

   • Make sure to add the following line to your hyprland.conf:

     exec-once = swww-daemon

Hyprland Help

Apps Fuzzy or Blurry?

This may be because they need to be run with Wayland or are Electron Aplications

• 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! Im not sure how to make this a global thing. I have tried and failed. Help?

Notes

• About to start working on an eww dashboard so look out for that
• I still need to add more on wlogout!!! sorry!

📥 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 all I need/want!
