guake VS dotfiles

Discovering the drop down console was a revelation.

An homage: http://guake-project.org/

One of the very first things I do is to install Guake terminal. I usually change its hotkey to ctrl-alt-T, because I'm so used to using that for the terminal.

Maybe Guake will be to your liking?

I did discover one irrelevant cool thing though, well worth your time playing with: GUAKE --> http://guake-project.org

Guake does it, too (on Linux).

I'm not sure which desktop or window manager you use, but you could try using a drop-down terminal like Guake and running pulsemixer on a tab in it.

This is how I install it, then the service file is very similar too it just starts this other picom executable. https://github.com/AlexAegis/dotfiles/blob/master/modules/picom/1.user.sh

I install it from repo like this: https://github.com/AlexAegis/dotfiles/tree/master/modules/powerline

https://github.com/AlexAegis/dotfiles https://github.com/AlexAegis/pont

So I decided that I do something way simpler. I suggest you read my README, or just check out my dotfile repo: https://github.com/alexaegis/dotfiles

Another example on how the modules matter more than pont itself. On it's own it has 0 context on what XDG folder locations are, but I have an xdg module (https://github.com/AlexAegis/dotfiles/tree/master/modules/xdg) that has an environmental file in ~/.config/environment.d listing my XDG config (which is pretty much the default but that doesnt matter) And a named, environment script. These environment scripts are always run, no matter what. And I'm using them to source environmental variables, so if ANOTHER module is dependent on xdg because I'm using these variables, it doesnt matter if my environment has these variables or not, pont will load them, from there.
