About

WM-agnostic Theme Manager made with Bash only. Simply, it copy-pastes configs and manages them. It was preconfigured to work with Sway WM but there are lots of possibilities to use with other WMs, testing now with i3-gaps and bspwm. If you have made advances with these testing WMs, please let me know!

Future Plans

• Add customizability of Sway config (Autostart, Behaviour, Rules)
• Add Gtk-2.0, Gtk-3.0, Gtk-4.0 (if possible)
• Add customizability of other Config folders (Rofi, Mako, Waybar)
• Create a Wiki and Q&A with guides on ricing sway and other WMs
• Basic logging for maintenance (I don't know how)
• Add qt5st to WMTM (if possible)

Under consideration

• Create a website/server similar to gnome-look.org which will download ready configs from my site

I want to upload my own theme, how can I do that?

I still thinking on how to do that, but for now feel free to send to [e-mail]

P.S. I'm a beginner developer, if you have some bash scripting skills, please peer-review my script. I made the code as human-readable and maintainable as much as possible, but it's still a big mess.

Bugs

• rofi everywhere is broken, I guess an update broke something
• Brightness and Volume buttons are not working
• In MacOSBigSur, rofi is not working in VM
• In resources files, you cannot name archives with spaces!
• GTK apps still need 20 seconds to turn on
• Potential: tar.?z and zip files are being opened differently
• Automatic Logout not tested

Notes

Yes, I'm lazy af

• Greetd -> Login Manager
• greetd-gtkgreet -> GTK-based addition for Greetd
