Clockwork

Clove's dots

swayfx on Void Linux, and hopefully on your distro too.

The whole theme comes from the wallpaper: deep-space navy, glowing gear cyan, crimson and gold. Bar, terminal, launcher, lock screen and login screen all match.

Split view: the desktop with waybar along the top on the left, the gtklock lock screen on the right

What's in it

swayfx: window manager, with blur, shadows and rounded corners
waybar: status bar
kitty: terminal, with an oh-my-posh prompt
fuzzel: app launcher
mako: notifications
gtklock: lock screen
sddm: login screen to match
sound: a looping background track, only while plugged in (optional)
cursor: sandrone-linux, which I made myself

Install

One line. It grabs the latest version, copies everything into place and cleans up after itself. Re-run it any time to update.

curl -fsSL https://dots.doughmination.gay/install | bash
# or see what it'll do first
curl -fsSL https://dots.doughmination.gay/install | bash -s -- --dry-run

Rather work from a clone?

git clone https://github.com/doughmination/dots
cd dots
bash install --local

On Arch, anything missing from the repos comes from the AUR with yay or paru (paru gets installed if you have neither). Anything already in the way is renamed to .bak-<date>, never deleted.

The six parts

The installer runs these in order. Each one works on its own too.

`install-deps.sh`	The software. `--no-flatpak` or `--no-services` skip those bits.
`install-git.sh`	Your git name, email and default branch.
`install-assets.sh`	The font and the cursor.
`install-config.sh`	Configs into `~/.config`, and `bashrc` to `~/.bashrc`.
`install-scripts.sh`	Helper scripts into `~/.local/bin`.
`install-sddm.sh`	The login screen.

Login screen

The installer always sets up the SDDM theme. From a clone you can tweak or undo it:

./install-sddm.sh
# still wallpaper instead of the video
./install-sddm.sh --no-video
# put your old sddm.conf back
./install-sddm.sh --uninstall

Background sound

Off by default. To turn it on, edit ~/.config/sway/config and reload. Re-installing keeps it on.

set $ambient_sound on
set $ambient_volume 30

Super+M mutes it until the next reload.

The bar

Most of waybar is clickable.

Module	Left	Middle	Right
Battery	Power saver on/off	Pick a power profile	Performance on/off
Clock	This month's calendar
Brightness	Toggle 15% / 100%
Network	Wi-Fi on/off		nmtui
Bluetooth	Bluetooth on/off	bluetui
Volume	Mute	pavucontrol
CPU / RAM	btop
Picture	Still / animated wallpaper
Coffee cup	Stay awake
Moon	Night light
Bell	Notification list		Do not disturb
Package	Run the update
REC	Stop recording

The animated wallpaper pauses in power saver, or when the battery's at 20% or less. The package and REC icons only show up when there's something to do.

Keys

Super+/ searches every shortcut, and picking one runs it. These are the ones I actually use:

Super+Return: terminal
Super+Space: launcher
Super+Q: close window
Super+F: firefox
Super+E: files (yazi)
Super+V: clipboard history
Super+N: last notification
Super+B: hide the bar
Super+W: float window
Super+R: resize mode
Super+1…9: workspace (add Alt to move the window there)
Super+Alt+L: lock
Print: screenshot to clipboard (Ctrl+Shift for a region)
Ctrl+Alt+Print: record the screen
Super+A S D: previous, play/pause, next
Ctrl+Alt+Delete: power menu

The full list is in the README.

Tested on

Void Linux (glibc)
Arch Linux
Debian
Ubuntu
Fedora
NixOS

The rest should mostly work. If one breaks, open an issue.
