Installation (dotfiles)

Most of the files

You can clone or download it as a zip. After that put all files in the dotfiles folder to user's home directory or ( ~ ).

• git clone https://github.com/owl4ce/dotfiles.git

• cd dotfiles/ && cp -r {.*,*} ~/

• rm -r ~/{README.md,LICENSE,.git} # Delete unnecessary files

Icons

• cd ~/.icons/

• tar -Jxvf Papirus-Custom.tar.xz && tar -Jxvf Papirus-Dark-Custom.tar.xz

• sudo cp -r {Papirus-Custom,Papirus-Dark-Custom} /usr/share/icons/

• rm -r ~/.icons/{Papirus-Custom,Papirus-Dark-Custom,*.tar.xz} # Delete unnecessary files

For refresh font cache do

fc-cache -rv

The Others folder contains slim themes. SLiM themes read this.

User configuration

• Google-chrome / Chromium (tip)

  

  Settings: chrome://settings/

  • Themes: Use GTK+
  • Use system title bar and borders

  New Tab

  • Extension: Tabliss - A Beautiful New Tab

  Tabliss - Widgets Font

  • Greeting, Message: Youth Touch DEMO
  • Time, Search Box, Weather: SFNS Display

• Spotify - Spicetify Theme (tip)

  

  Dribbblish - Horizon

• Battery Indicator
  Because on the tint2 panel I turned off the battery status. Alternatively, install xfce4-power-manager and turn it on ~/.config/openbox/autostart then enable system tray icon in xfce4-power-manager-settings.

• Dunst Action: Default Web Browser (middle click)
  ~/.config/dunst/dunstrc-left
~/.config/dunst/dunstrc-right
~/.config/dunst/dunstrc-dark-left
~/.config/dunst/dunstrc-dark-right

  ...
  
  browser = google-chrome-stable
  
  ...

• Screenshots (now, select/draw, timer)
  ~/.scripts/shot-now
~/.scripts/shot-seldraw
~/.scripts/shot-timer

  ...
  
  savedir=~/Pictures
  bordercolor="#ffffff"
  sec="5"
  
  ...

• Root Privileges (SUID)

  • poweroff
  • reboot
  • brightnessctl
  • others if needed

  sudo chmod u+s /usr/{bin,sbin}/{poweroff,reboot,brightnessctl}

  For brightnessctl I recommend adding users to the group video.

• Default Lockscreen
  ~/.config/openbox/lockscreen

• Tray
  ~/.config/openbox/tray

• URxvt Icon
  ~/.Xresources

  ...
  
  URxvt.iconFile:                   /home/username/.icons/gladient/term.png
  
  ...

• Tint2 Network Status (interface)
  ~/.config/tint2/executor/network

  ...
  
  intwifi="wlan0"
  intether="eth0"
  
  ...

• Neofetch Image (w3m)
  ~/.config/neofetch/config.conf

  ...
  
  # Image Source
  #
  # Which image or ascii file to display.
  #
  # Default:  'auto'
  # Values:   'auto', 'ascii', 'wallpaper', '/path/to/img', '/path/to/ascii', '/path/to/dir/'
  #           'command output (neofetch --ascii "$(fortune | cowsay -W 30)")'
  # Flag:     --source
  #
  # NOTE: 'auto' will pick the best image source for whatever image backend is used.
  #       In ascii mode, distro ascii art will be used and in an image mode, your
  #       wallpaper will be used.
  image_source="auto"
  #image_source="${HOME}/.config/neofetch/arch.png"
  #image_source="${HOME}/.config/neofetch/artix.png"
  #image_source="${HOME}/.config/neofetch/bedrock.png"
  #image_source="${HOME}/.config/neofetch/gentoo.png"

  ...

• MPD Music Directory
  ~/.mpd/mpd.conf

  ...
  
  music_directory     "~/Music/"
  
  ...

• Ncmpcpp Music Directory
  ~/.ncmpcpp/config
~/.ncmpcpp/albumart
~/.ncmpcpp/albumart-only
~/.ncmpcpp/albumart-viz

  ...
  
  mpd_music_dir = "~/Music/"
  
  ...

How to use ncmpcpp albumart?
It's easy, put album|cover|folder|artwork|front.jp?g|png|gif|bmp into folder with song album. Recommended image size is 500px ( 1:1 ) or more. See keybinds

Please don't underrate, I've configured them all since April 2020 and have been stuDYING them since October 2019. Awesome open-source. If you support it, star it or make a PR. Or if there is a problem with configuration you can make an issue here.
