This repository is still under construction and serves as my personal Arch desktop setup.

This is far from finished and I don't recommend to use any of this on your productive system. This is just a learning experience on how to create a custom Arch desktop from scratch.

If you find any issues or have any suggestions to improve this setup, please let me know.

• Install Arch Linux using the minimal desktop environment and Grub
• Reboot and login
• Install git using sudo pacman -S --needed --noconfirm git
• Clone the repository using git clone https://github.com/Arucs92/arch-dotfiles.git
• Enter the directory with cd ./arch-dotfiles
• Install everything with ./scripts/run-all.sh

The AUR of some application can break randomly. If an optional scripts fails you can remove it or execute the other scripts manually.

This setup using a dynamic theming engine. Thats a fancy way to say that there is a bodge script that replaces color and theme variables for all config files.

The colors are defined in ./scripts/themes/. The script that copies copies the config files and applies the theme is ./scripts/copy-configs.sh. You can run this anytime after the installation when you changed the theme. Just reload sway afterwards using META + Shift + C.
