First Setup

Congrats! You just installed the suite! But you must need to do these before actually starting them. Luckily it’s just for the first time you run this. No need for further pain after these are done.

Initializing pywal

First copy all of the things in config to $HOME and rename it to .config.

To all of the colorschemes to work, hard link the generated colorscheme for everything in $HOME/.cache/wal/ to each of the components:

• cava-config hard link to $HOME/.config/cava/config

• colors.scss hard link to $HOME/.config/eww/colors.scss

• dunstrc hard link to $HOME/.config/dunst/dunstrc

• jgmenurc hard link to $HOME/.config/jgmenu/jgmenurc

• vis hard link to $HOME/.config/vis/colors/pywal

and you’re basically done, except if you use SLiM.

SLiM is a bit different than the others, necessitating sudo. To actually reload, run the slim-reload in the same folder. This would prompt sudo as you’re actually modifying the theme in /usr to replace the colors aand wallpaper.

and you’re finally done with pywal!

Configuring some scripts

To configure the output for the quoter script, you need to edit the messages.txt file in the home directory.

Next, you need to modify both $HOME/.config/eww/eww.yuck and $PATH/sb-forecast if neccessary, to change location.

Lastly, you need to modify $HOME/.config/eww/eww.yuck and $HOME/.config/eww/eww.scss to adjust width settings and variables.

And that’s it! Hope you enjoy the desktop!
