## Templating

Hyprland & Qtile: Included is a pywal configuration that changes the color scheme based on a randomly selected wallpaper. With the key binding SuperKey + Shift + w you can change the wallpaper. SuperKey + Ctrl + w opens rofi with a list of installed wallpapers for your individual selection. See also the .bashrc and the key bindings on Hyprland and Qtile for more alias definitions.

Hyprland: In addition, you can switch the Waybar Template with SUPER + CTRL + T or by pressing the "..." icon in Waybar. The templates are available in ~/dotfiles/waybar/themes. You can add your own personal themes into this folder. The script will read in the folder structure.

Qtile X11: In addition, you can switch between the Qtile status bar and Polybar with SUPER + SHIFT + S

## Installation

To make it easy for you to get started with my dotfiles, here's a list of recommended next steps.

PLEASE BACKUP YOUR EXISTING .config FOLDER WITH YOUR DOTFILES BEFORE STARTING THE SCRIPTS FOR INITIONAL INSTALLTION.

The script will try to create a backup from an older dotfiles installation.

### Installation with GIT (Development Release)

```
# 1.) Change into your Downloads folder
cd ~/Downloads

# 2.) Clone the dotfiles repository into the Downloads folder
git clone https://gitlab.com/stephan-raabe/dotfiles.git

# 3.) Change into the dotfiles folder
cd dotfiles

# 4.) Start the installation
./install.sh

```

### Installation with the dotfiles installer (Tested Release)

You can also use the dotfiles installer script to download and install the latest official release: https://gitlab.com/stephan-raabe/installer

## Please note

In case you have issues with starting Waybar please make sure that only one xdg-desktop-portal-x is installed additionally to xdg-desktop-portal.

I had several issues with xdg-desktop-portal-wlr, Hyprland and Waybar. Please make sure that xdg-desktop-portal-wlr is uninstalled and xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland is installed.

Please note that every Arch Linux system is different and I cannot guarantee that everything works fine on your system.
