  • Waybar

    Highly customizable Wayland bar for Sway and Wlroots based compositors. :v: :tada:

  • As other users said Waybar is important. Choose what information you need to be displayed and try to apply the color you choose. You can see some reference for Waybar on github or on r/unixporn.

  • dotfiles

    My sway desktop config (by nboughton)

  • Here's my dotfiles if you want some ideas. It's mostly all about waybar and finding a nice colour palette.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • base16

    Not a theme, but a framework

  • Start at base16, it is a way to standardize coloring across apps. Choose a color scheme (you can create your own but I would start by one of the defaults). This can be some gruesome work, as some apps are not so friendly to customization.

  • pywal

    🎨 Generate and change color-schemes on the fly.

  • If you try to match the colors to the wallpaper you use, you may want to look into pywal (https://github.com/dylanaraps/pywal) that will generate it for almost all tools you imagine..
