This is a simple customizable script to install a new style of desktop enviroment rather your KDEs and Gnomes....

This is a complete desktop environment experince made from openbox.

This is to be installed after the base install of Arch linux.

Last tested on 25-september-2022

Here is my repo to install the same. https://github.com/kud04rk/ArchBaseInstall.git

The script uses these dot files: https://github.com/kud04rk/Openbox_Dotfiles.git

Most of the Dotfiles and scritps are from various sources and I have made my tweaks to enhance it to my preference.

I have creditted all the creators in the code and in this readme file.

I am using my other git for the Dotfiles https://github.com/kud04rk/Openbox_Dotfiles.git

• Visit the official git repo for support.(it will work after dependies are correctly istalled).

• spotify theme needs to be enabled after the first login sometimes. run the ./theme_config.sh after the first login.

install it using yay once and also from git repo using git clone once. then it will work.

Also does not work on the current version in AUR. Look at my dependecy list to figure of which version works for smb client or any others. https://github.com/kud04rk/Openbox_Dotfiles/blob/main/dependencies_versions.txt

Change the permisions of all the scritps in the dotfiles.

This is hands down my favourite dot files package. I have made only a few tweaks but most of the work belongs to.
