  • Make new colorschemes

Dependencies

Mandatory
  • Xorg
  • xrdb (for reloading xresource colorschemes)

  • dmenu (for opening programs, changing theme and using the power menu)
  • luastatus (for status info)
  • sxhkd (for shortcuts)
  • feh (for setting wallpaper)
  • font: Iosevka Nerd Font
    • You can also use any other nerd font, but don't forget to add that font to *fonts[] in config.def.h and recompile dwm)
Optional

You may choose not to install any of these and but doing so might make some things not work as intended

  • Terminal: Alacritty (main) and Kitty (dropdown)
    • if you use kitty as your main terminal, replace kitty to Alacritty in this line - RULE(.class = "kitty", .isfloating = 1) and replace Alacritty to kitty in this line - RULE(.class = "Alacritty", .tags = 1 << 0, .switchtag = 1) in config.def.h
    • if you use any other terminal then you have to modify ~/.bin/theme_changer in order to make that terminal's colorschemes to change automatically when changing theme
  • ly

  • Linux Notification Center
  • Xfce Power Manager
  • picom
