    🎨 Generate and change color-schemes on the fly.

  • Thank you! IIRC, I started with this: https://github.com/dylanaraps/pywal/blob/master/pywal/colorschemes/dark/sexy-hund.json, but then I used wpgtk's autoadjust, and then modified it manually, so it's pretty much custom. My current color codes are here: https://gitlab.com/machaerus/dotfiles/-/blob/master/polybar/colors.ini

  • voidrice

    My dotfiles (deployed by LARBS)

  • I never took the time to try bspwm, the reasons for switching that people usually mention always seemed rather minor and inconvincing to me. Configuring keys with i3 is actually fairly easy if you have a cheatsheet. When I installed i3 for the first time I started off with a very comprehensive config from Luke Smith (https://github.com/LukeSmithxyz). Since then he switched to dwm but most of his i3 config is still in my dots, just modified/commented out. Anyway, good luck, I bet both WMs are cool!

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • polybar-themes

    A huge collection of polybar themes with different styles, colors and variants.

  • Thanks! I don't know of any good tutorials. What worked for me was just copying stuff from other people and gradually changing stuff to my liking :) Then when you have a good grasp on it you can get more creative. An amazing help and inspiration for me to get started with polybar was this repo: https://github.com/adi1090x/polybar-themes. Also check out stuff (and posts, and videos) from Luke Smith: https://github.com/lukesmithxyz. And obviously look at the configs that poeple post here.
