docs: Add READMEs for bspwm and extras Now that all the READMEs have been added, all that's left is to polish them as time goes on. It may be useful to add images to each of the package directories to show visually what each contain.

# bspwm
I use `bspwm` as my window manager of choice. My setup is optimized for HiDPI, so you will have to manually adjust the numbers if you aren't using a HiDPI display.
## Dependencies
- [bspwm][bspwm] - Window manager
- [polybar][polybar] - Panel
- [dunst][dunst] - Notifications
- [rofi][rofi] - Window switcher, application launcher, and dmenu replacement
- [sxhkd][sxhkd] - Keybinds
stow: Merge term with bspwm Realistically, you'll be using neither termite nor urxvt if you have access to a desktop environment since those usually include their own terminal emulator that works out of the box anyway. Additionally, many of the benefits from termite and urxvt are not a necessity in other desktop environments.

- [rxvt-unicode-patched][rxvt-unicode-patched] - Terminal with image support
- [termite][termite] - Terminal with true transparency, icon fonts, true color, and emoji support

- [python-pywal][python-pywal] - A universal color scheme changer
- [feh][feh] - Used to set the background image
## Installation
```sh
make package=bspwm
```
## Usage
Either `startx` directly or use a display manager. Assuming you have the necessary dependencies installed, and assuming you configured your system properly, everything should just work.
stow: Merge wal with bspwm Realistically, you won't need my wal config if you are not using my bspwm setup, since wal does a good job at otherwise changing most other color schemes that you may find in, e.g., a GNOME or Plasma setup.

## Note
When you use `wal` to change the color scheme, add `-o ~/.config/wal/done.sh` to run the done script. The [fish](/fish) abbreviation `w` does this automatically for you.
