Donovan Glover 3e77f8f992 sxhkd: Don't start tmux by default It turns out that since tmux sessions will stay active after you close a terminal window, it is easy to end up with a lot of empty sessions. This makes it difficult to detach and re-attach the appropriate tmux sessions. Additionally, some features of kitty (notably terminal images and dynamic background opacity) will not work inside tmux. Since kitty has its own window manager, this caveat can be easily circumvented. By invoking tmux manually instead, we also avoid the problem of nested tmux sessions.		2018-11-14 14:43:42 -05:00

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.
