Kali dots

This repo contains my dotfile installer for spinning up BSPWM on kali linux. The scripts are highly tweakable, so feel free to make your own changes! The currently theme chosen theme is Gruvbox Material with Patched IBM Plex Mono.

Inspired by Victoria Drakes dotfile scripts :)

Usage

Grab a copy of Kali linux.
Clone this repo

git clone https://github.com/XORMANCER/kali-dots.git

Move to the dotfiles directory, and run the installer

  cd kali-dots/scripts
  ./install.sh

Grab some matching GUI themes, if desired.

Common tweaks

To adopt these dotfiles to your personal needs, check out some common changes below.

Expand

GTK and icon themes

Themes and icons are controlled by .gtkrc-2.0 and .config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini.

HiDPI

If you have a monitor which utilizes a HiDPI resolution, alacritty may not properly scale itself. Increasing the multiplier within .config/alacritty/alacritty.yml may help.

WINIT_X11_SCALE_FACTOR: "1"

Polybar

The width is set by default to a percentage of your monitors resolution. To manaually set a width, modify the following within .config/polybar.config.ini.

[bar/main]
#EDIT FOR YOUR MONITOR
width = 99%
height = 32px

Virtual Machine support

For VMWare users, copy and paste support can be enabled by uncommenting the following line in .config/bspwm/bsprc. This is enabled by default.

vmware-user-suid-wrapper &

Wallpapers and mugshots

To set custom images, replace mug.png, lock.png, and background.png within .greeter.
