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 folder.
# 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
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. More information you can find here: https://gist.github.com/PowerBall253/2dea6ddf6974ba4e5d26c3139ffb7580
Please note that every Arch Linux system is different and I cannot guarantee that everything works fine on your system.
