Note : You need to manually set soft links for nwg-dock and nwg-drawer css in the config folder for light/dark themes. And some env variables, preferences are set as per personal needs so modify accordingly.
Installation
This configuration is based on the original repo from which it is forked, but contains some personal configurations and tweaks made by me like :
1.7px borders on top panel items (waybar)
Tweaked waybar modules
Catppuccin color palette rainbow window borders
Faster window border animation
New Wallpapers edited to suit Catppuccin Theme
Some other color tweaks in rofi app launcher, waybar panel, etc.
nwg-dock setup for ease
easy to use keybindings
The installation script is made for Arch, but may work on some Arch based distros with systemd. (Tested on Garuda Linux)
Important
Install script will auto-detect nvidia card and install nvidia-dkms drivers for your kernel.
So please ensure that your Nvidia card supports dkms drivers and hyprland.
Caution
The script modifies your grub config to enable Nvidia drm and theme.
NOTE : Don't forget to remove VS Code login for sync, as this resets vscode configuration. After installation, login and sync with your remote data again.
After minimal Arch install (with grub and systemd), clone and execute -
You can also create your own list (for ex. custom_apps.lst) with all your favorite apps and pass the file as a parameter to install it -
./install.sh custom_apps.lst
Please reboot after the install script completes and takes you to sddm login screen (or black screen) for the first time.
For more details, please refer installation wiki
