...and an installation script for a fresh linux with yay, hyprland and waybar.
I like rice, but i prefer pasta
Note
This rice is heavily inspired (copied) from SolDoesTech's hyprland repos, check those if you'd like a probably better tested config. It also uses config taken from klpod0s. If there are any issues with the hyprland and waybar configuration, before opening an issue, check with the wikis as i have no idea what i'm doing, also don't trust random installation scripts online :). If there are issues with the installation scripts report it here ty.
Clone the repository to copy and use these configuration files.
git clone https://github.com/00Darxk/dotfiles.git
cd dotfilesI will make another branch, and move the italian version there. For now you'll need to make the changes yourself to change the language in these configs: installupdates.sh, hyprland.conf under input select your keyboard layout, waybar modules, wlogout, wofi, starship.toml. These changes are purely aesthetics.
Run the install script, it will try to install all needed dependencies
Caution
This script DOES NOT backup any config files you may have, it is meant for a fresh install. Use it if you know what you are doing.
install.shYay need to be installed, as its used by the script to install all the packages. Refer to the official yay page for installation.
Below a table of each package that should be installed, and its purpose. If you choose to install another package for the same purpose, you should also check the corresponding configuration files.

Note
I don't remember why I converted all the backgrounds from png to jpg, it should work either way. Too lazy to check the wiki.
To add a new wallpaper to hyprland, add a line at the end of the hyprland.conf file, specifying the location of the image. To set it at start, change the location of the exec call inside the config to the background image.
In the same way you can edit the top line of the swaylock config to change the background image.
If you'd like to use the waybar module to wake a machine over LAN either follow the instructions in the installation scripts or create the ./secrets folder, the ip-address.txt and mac-address.txt files.
The wol.sh sends a magic packet to the machine, using the wol package. Change the script if you would like to use a different application.
the same module can be used to ssh into another machine using tailscale, for this create the hostname.txt file inside the secret folder with the hostname or the ip address in your tailscale network. For simplicity both these functions refer to the same machine.
You can just comment out or remove the module in waybar config if you don't use it. If you haven't configured it, it will not show in waybar.
To WoL left-click the module, to ssh right-click it; the color of the module shows the tailscale status of the machine you configured, not if the machine itself is on or off. If you have enabled tailscaled on the machine it will show the machine status, as it starts on startup. If you have set different machines for WoL and ssh the tooltip refers only to the ssh machine.
Instructions in the waybar wiki. Place the notifications.token inside the .secrets folder.
This configuration is almost entirely taken from klpod0s, an aestethic, dynamic and minimal configuration for hyprland; just changed the color theme and tweaked a bit.
I tried to base it off this color scheme, but I'm not really good with that, if someone who knows colors could help I'd be very thankful :).
I use squared theme for gtk, and ant-dark icons theme. To add themes and icon themes download and unzip theme respectively in ~/.themes and ~/.local/share/icons, use this last directory to store cursor icons (i use my oshi Rin Penrose's)
For sddm I use the eucalyptus-drop theme, it is available on the AUR, and installed through the install script.
- Working To-Dos
- Test the installation script :3
- Add usefull information in the README
- Module description
- Create a version with english toolip in waybar
- Improve installation script
- Add the option to choose which language to use in the installation script
- Backup previous config files
- Create standalone module config for each waybar module
...and suggestions are welcome, just open an issue or a pull request :)
