AlphaTechnolog's DkWM Rice

Welcome! This is the repository for my dkwm rice using decay (decayce variant)

If you like this configuration, please give me a star in this repo, it will make me more happy! 😁

If you want, you can visit more of my repos or go to my profile Ah, and gimme credits if you will use my config for showcase :3

See other branches to go to others/older rices

Here are some details about my setup:

• OS: Void Linux
• WM: DkWM
• Terminal: st (thanks to siduck's build)
• Shell: hilbish
• Editor: neovim
• NeovimConfig: nvcodark (I'm using the remake that is present in the dev branch, instructions aren't ready yet, main branch is broken)
• Compositor: picom
• Application Launcher: rofi

First clone the repository

git clone -b dkwm https://github.com/AlphaTechnolog/dotfiles.git
cd dotfiles

Then make sure you have the next requirements installed

This is in testing phase btw, if you think i miss some pkg, please tell me it opening an issue

WARNING: Configuration files may be overrided.

mkdir -p ~/.config && cp -r ./cfg/* ~/.config

cp -r ./home/.Xresources ~/.Xresources
sudo mv ~/.local/bin/eww /usr/bin/eww # IMPORTANT

I'm using xqp to make jgmenu able to spawn when you do a right click in the desktop, so here are the steps to install it:

mkdir -p ~/repo
cd ~/repo
git clone https://github.com/baskerville/xqp.git
cd xqp
sudo make install

St is the terminal that i'm using, so you have to build it. Here are the steps to do it:

First you have to install the next dependencies for your operative system:

Void Linux

• pkg-config
• gcc
• harfbuzz-devel
• libXft-devel
• libX11-devel
• libXext-devel
• libXrender-devel
• libXinerama-devel

Debian (and ubuntu probably)

• build-essential
• libxft-de
• libharfbuzz-dev

Most of these are already installed in Arch based distros.

Install font-symbola and libXft-bgra

After install the deps, you can just rebuild it using the rebuild script:

cd ~/.config/st
./rebuild.sh

That should start the rebuilding process of st terminal, maybe i miss some deps, if that happened, you can tell me, the compiler should throw the deps that are missing, just install them and retry.

The rebuild.sh script will install st in your system automatically, you don't have to move something.

Maybe the powermenu buttons (poweroff and restart) don't work, that's cuz you have to setup doas to get it working (doas cuz i prefer it lol), so just do this (assuming that you're on void linux).

First install doas

sudo xbps-install opendoas -y

Now configure it:

echo 'permit persist :wheel' | sudo tee -a /etc/doas.conf # enables users in the 'wheel' group to elevate privileges.
echo 'permit nopass root' | sudo tee -a /etc/doas.conf # allow root to use doas without passwd.
echo 'permit nopass :wheel cmd poweroff' | sudo tee -a /etc/doas.conf # allow users to use the command 'poweroff' when they are in the group 'wheel' and skip passwd prompt.
echo 'permit nopass :wheel cmd reboot' | sudo tee -a /etc/doas.conf # allow users to use the command 'reboot' when they are in the group 'wheel' and skip passwd prompt.

Done, now the powermenu buttons should work, you can test doas in your shell using commands like this:

doas touch /hello # that just create a file called hello in your /

and the command poweroff and reboot should be called like this:

doas poweroff
doas reboot

and you shouldn't be asked for password.

Here are details about my gtk theming:

• Gtk theme: decay
• Icons: decay icons
• Cursor: Breeze Snow

If the widgets aren't showed when you opened the session, maybe the eww binary doesn't work in your operative system for any reason, you can rebuild it and place it in /usr/bin/eww again.

Here are the steps to do it:

First install the next dependencies in your operative system:

• rustc
• cargo (nightly toolchain)

Using rustup is more recommended!

Additionally eww depends on the next dependencies:

• gtk3 (libgdk-3, libgtk-3)
• gtk-layer-shell (only on Wayland)
• pango (libpango)
• gdk-pixbuf2 (libgdk_pixbuf-2)
• cairo (libcairo, libcairo-gobject)
• glib2 (libgio, libglib-2, libgobject-2)
• gcc-libs (libgcc)
• glibc

Then just execute the next commands sequence

mkdir -p ~/eww-building && cd ~/eww-building
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/elkowar/eww.git
cd eww
cargo build --release

That could take a some time depending on your internet/pc.

Now you should have available the eww binary, just grab it in /usr/bin/eww after give execution permissions. Here are the commands:

cd target/release
chmod  x ./eww
test -f /usr/bin/eww && sudo rm /usr/bin/eww
sudo mv ./eww /usr/bin/eww

That's all! Now enjoy with this configuration!

In the most of the cases, exists mouse based keybindings (but i really prefer the shortcuts lol)
