computer specific setup

Nowadays I use a few different computers and I used to apply the base config and configure each pc on its own. I've grown tired of this approach however so I added a "pc specific" setup in the installer.

The pc specific setup bit will read the folder names in computers, offer you a choice, and execute the install.sh inside that folder. This allows me to get pc specific settings synced with git and applied easily.

Getting x info to use in i3

Some things are handled by window class/title or have custom resolutions set, the tools below help obtain the info required:

• xprop -> displays static xwindow info including Window class
• xwininfo -> displays xwindow info including current size/position

getting icons

Copy/paste icons from these URLs:

• https://fontawesome.com/v5/cheatsheet
• https://fonts.google.com/noto/specimen/Noto+Color+Emoji/glyphs?noto.query=noto+color+emoji

dotfiles's Issues

Question about docking

Hi, I just came to find your dotfiles, thanks for the great example btw.

I had a question about how you manage your docking system. Basically, I'm wondering if you have to restart X or your computer at all so that the DPI scaling changes take effect with your docked.sh/undocked.sh scripts.

Finally, I also use an XPS laptop, and I wanted to know if you have multiple monitors with different DPIs, and if so, have you found a way to get things to display decently (because of the DPI difference between the 2 monitors for example)

Thanks again, and great job with your dotfiles.
