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.

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 - Window manager
  • polybar - Panel
  • dunst - Notifications
  • rofi - Window switcher, application launcher, and dmenu replacement
  • sxhkd - Keybinds
  • rxvt-unicode-patched - Terminal with image support
  • termite - Terminal with true transparency, icon fonts, true color, and emoji support
  • python-pywal - A universal color scheme changer
  • feh - Used to set the background image

Installation

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.

Note

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