Installation (dotfiles)

If you are already using v2, it is advisable to match the files in v2 and v3 then install the dotfiles files manually instead of putting all of them directly into the user homedir. Due to the many changes here, these suggestions are meant to avoid conflicts and remove files/config from v2 which were removed from v3.

Most of the files

You can clone or download it as a zip. After that put all files in the dotfiles folder to user's home directory or ( ~ ).

• git clone https://github.com/owl4ce/dotfiles.git && cd dotfiles

• rsync -avzP --exclude '.git*' .* ~/

Icons

• cd ~/.icons

• tar -Jxvf Papirus-Custom.tar.xz && tar -Jxvf Papirus-Dark-Custom.tar.xz

• sudo rsync -avzP Papirus-{Custom,Dark-Custom} /usr/share/icons/

• rm -r ~/.icons/Papirus-* # Delete unnecessary files

For refresh font cache do

fc-cache -rv

User configuration

• SLiM Themes (optional)

  

• Google-chrome / Chromium (tip)

  

  Settings: chrome://settings/

  • Themes: Use GTK+
  • Use system title bar and borders

  New Tab

  • Extension: Tabliss - A Beautiful New Tab

  Tabliss - Widgets Font

  • Greeting, Message: Youth Touch DEMO
  • Time, Search Box, Weather: SFNS Display

• Spotify - Spicetify Theme (tip)

  

  Dribbblish

• Battery Indicator
  Because on the tint2 panel I turned off the battery status. Alternatively, install xfce4-power-manager and turn it on ~/.config/openbox/autostart then enable system tray icon in xfce4-power-manager-settings.

• Dunst Action: Default Web Browser (middle click)
  ~/.config/dunst/dunstrc-mech
~/.config/dunst/dunstrc-mech-MINMOD
~/.config/dunst/dunstrc-eyc
~/.config/dunst/dunstrc-eyc-MINMOD

  ...

• Root Privileges (SUID)

  • poweroff
  • reboot
  • brightnessctl
  • others if needed

  sudo chmod u+s $(where {poweroff,reboot,brightnessctl})

  For brightnessctl I recommend adding users to the group video.

  3 musicpl="mpd"
  4 filemanager="thunar"

• Tray
  ~/.config/openbox/tray
  An example is turning on nm-applet, because by default I don't use it and use networkmanager_dmenu instead (F12). Remove hashtags before nm-applet.

  1 #
  2 # This tray will restart after changing visual mode
  3 # Please add "&" after command

  How to use ncmpcpp albumart?
  It's easy, put album|cover|folder|artwork|front.jp?g|png|gif|bmp into folder with song album. Recommended image size is 500px ( 1:1 ) or more. See keybinds

Please don't underrate, I've configured them all since April 2020 and have been stuDYING them since October 2019. Awesome open-source. If you support it, star it or make a PR. Or if there is a problem with configuration you can make an issue here.

Thank you!
