My Dotfilesî
-This is the collection of dotfiles that I use on my laptop for ricing pourposes
-Some screenshotsî
- -Getting Startedî
-All of these files will go in your home directory. See Installing for a brief description of where to put each file in this repository.
-Prerequisitesî
-You should know how linux works at least a little bit, but you can use this setup as your starting point, so Bash is a must. -I work on Slackware since 2006, so you’ll have to adapt everything if you’re using another distro. As for the software used here you have it:
--
-
- i3-gaps - My window manager of choice. -
- feh - wallpaper setter. Fast and lightweight. -
- conky - system monitor, I use it for my desk clock, but it can do so so much more. -
- rofi - Extremely customizable dmenu replacement, I use the git version. -
- tint2 - Great lightweight bar that can run custom scripts. -
- compton - Lightweight compositor. -
Installingî
-The bin directory is where we’ll store all executables, so you may want to add it to your path, otherwhise you could use something like /usr/local/bin
, but make sure to fix every reference to your executables in the other files.
i3, conky, rofi and tint2 directories must go inside your ~/.config
directory, this is standard and you shouldn’t have any problems with it.
Xresources, bash_profile, bashrc and xinitrc are all hidden files and you should place them in your home prepending a dot to their names, so everything should look like this: -
$> ls /home/danix -.Xresources -.bash_profile -.bashrc -.xinitrc -[...] -
$> tree /home/danix -âââ .Xresources -âââ .bash_profile -âââ .bashrc -âââ bin/ -â  âââ blackpearl-appsmenu.sh -â  âââ blackpearl-powermenu.sh -â  âââ blackpearl-runner.sh -â  âââ blackpearl-scrotmenu.sh -â  âââ blackpearl-sshmenu.sh -â  âââ blackpearl-utilsmenu.sh -â  âââ blackpearl-window.sh -â  âââ executors/ -â  âââ caps -â  âââ inet -â  âââ mail-check -â  âââ psuinfo.py -â  âââ wifi-name -âââ .config/ -â  âââ compton.conf -â  âââ i3/ -â  |  âââ config -â  âââ conky/ -â  |  âââ qlocktwo.conkyrc -â  âââ rofi/ -â  |  âââ blackpearl/ -â  |  âââ appmenu.rasi -â  |  âââ i3exit.rasi -â  |  âââ powermenu.rasi -â  |  âââ runner.rasi -â  |  âââ scrotmenu.rasi -â  |  âââ shared/ -â  |  â  âââ reset.rasi -â  |  â  âââ settings.rasi -â  |  âââ utilsmenu.rasi -â  âââ tint2/ -â    âââ i3status.tint2rc -â    âââ minima.tint2rc -âââ .xinitrc -
