my personal setup for arch linux featuring the nord color scheme, bspwm, picom, polybar, and more!

All packages are in the official Arch repositories or the Arch User Repository as named unless otherwise linked

• picom does not yet have animation support, and the forks that have it are buggy/missing other features. I was previously using picom-jonaburg, but this fork is no longer being maintained and has bugs. animation support to picom is coming in the next update
• polybar will sometimes display %output% %output% %output% %output% in place of the Spotify status when Spotify is not running. this is a bug that will be fixed in the next update
