Instead of manually changing every instance where a program could run to
use the config in the cache directory, and instead of copying files
every time pywal is updated, it makes sense to create symbolic links for
these files instead.
This ensures that the right settings are used even without knowing the
passed parameters.
Before pkill would try to terminate the script since it had "dunst" in
its name. This is the solution for that, and it also makes adding new
commands in the future easier.
After comparing environment variables between KDE Plasma and bspwm, I
finally figured out that QT_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS was needed as well for
full HiDPI support. With this setting and QT_FONT_DPI applied, KDE / Qt
applications now look exactly as they would in Plasma.
To avoid any differences that may arise, I also exported XDG_DATA_DIRS
and some other variables set by Plasma.
pywal (also known as wal) lets us change color schemes with a cache
directory instead of editing config files directly. This helps us
separate the dotfiles from the color schemes.
This commit removes explicit color settings from my dotfiles, which are
now managed by pywal. Dunst has been added to show any notifications
that I may want to use in the future. The colors.Xresources file is used
to prevent urxvt from using a depth of 32.
My custom colors.vim file has been removed in favor of wal.vim, which
solves some problems I had to manually resolve myself and should make
things easier to maintain in the long term.
Note that pywal also supports base16 color schemes, as well as any other
color scheme you can think of.
