My first ever Arch Linux rice, themed after Nanahira!

For best immersion, alias paru to padoru

Setup

Drop all files except Extras in ~/.config.

Extras include:

• GTK icons and themes go to ~/.icons and ~/.themes. (Install lxappearance to change GTK theme if you're on a WM)
• Scripts under bin go to ~/.local/bin by default. Don't forget to chmod +x.
• vim-airline contains color scheme for vim-airline, put it under ~/.vim/plugged/vim-airline-themes/autoload/airline/themes
• wal contains colors.json for pywal
• wallpaper

You want to add these to your session startup script (.xprofile or .xinitrc)

• Media controls playerctld deamon &
• Charger event notifications $HOME/.local/bin/chargernotif &
• Weather module and notification ntfd &

Adjust the position of the bars in ~/.config/polybar/config.ini

Keybinds

Basically just default sxhkd keybinds, so...

• Super + space for run launcher
• Alt + tab for, well, tab switcher
• Super + enter for kitty
• printscrn for flameshot
• Check sxhkdrc for more (it's mostly just default)
