dotfiles's Issues

Facing issue in installing dependency

sorry to bother you but I'm actually new to this thing.
Getting error in installation. please help.

Unable to Set new Pinned apps on the Dock.

Cant get the icon to set to the dock and the launch of the app. On arch Linux and I am able to set the launch command, just not able to set the icon image for the app launch on the dock. Help me Please!

title bar

How do I disable title bars for the entire system?

Volume controls not working

So I installed your config. After some hassle, I managed to get to work ( I think there is a typo in the dependency install command). Unfortunately, the volume controls don't seem to work. The brightness works just fine. To make sure I have everything, I reinstalled the dependencies. Seemingly no effect. Am I missing some kind of package? I am on arch.

Typo in setup instructions (package names)

Might save a minute or two when setting this up from scratch on a new system.

Notification center/ Expand notification

Hey, could you please implement a notification center where I can view notification history? Also, sometimes the notification's content is longer than defined size so I can't read it fully. Is there any way to expand notification?

Screenshot and colorpicker not working for me [Quest]

Hi, first of all amazing work.

I followed the installation guide in the README, and almost everything is working as it should, but whenever I press PrintScreen key or Win + R I'm not getting the expected functionality from either. I have tried checking my awesome logs but there's nothing significant there. I also tried changing the keybinds but that didn't work either. I have the required dependencies installed, what may the problem be? Thanks in advance.

[Quest] Is there a way to disable titlebars on specific applications?

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do this manually, so I came here to ask!

How to add new workspaces and systray

Hello, using this as my daily driver for a few weeks now and loving it. The only thing I really need is to make the number of workspaces higher (4 sometimes is not enough) and adding a way to see the systray(I tried other systray programs like stalonetray but they don't work so well).

Could you please point me in the right direction on how I could add these things?

DPI scaling on different monitors [Bug]

The DPI scaling of some elements is inconsistent at different resolutions. I noticed the dock, the control panel and the calendar are not scaled correctly in 4K and their alignment is off. What resolution/DPI did you use to make the theme? I really love it! If you attempt any fix, I would be glad to test it.

(Suggestion) Make the lockscreen clock look like Android 12

I stumbled on this repository from your post in r/unixporn and it looks great!

However the clock style in the lockscreen looks like Android 9 - Android 11 instead

But i think this dotfiles is supposed to look like Material 3 (as seen in Android 12) so maybe it should look like this:

But i'm worried that the newer clock style wastes more screen space, anyway this is just a suggestion, you can close it without any action if you want

The wrong directory contains the themes.

themes --> dotfiles/extra/themes

.themes is missing

Step 4 says it needs to copy .themes to user's themes, but is absent in this repo.

Is it possible to have window manager independent control center with the look you have achieved in awesome wm?

Description
Hi,
I think this might be a bit off topic but i was in search of a similar control center to use with my open box config. I was wondering if any workaround or alternative could be possible.

Configurations are not quite user agnostic

First of all, this rice looks awesome from the screenshots!
I wanted to try it out but am encountering some problems, for example when trying to launch rofi. The username saimoom is hardcoded in some paths, resulting some config files not being found.
In .config/awesome I found:

awesome/config/bling.lua
42:        image = gears.color.recolor_image("/home/saimoom/wallpapers/plain.png", beautiful.bg_color),

awesome/layout/widgets/dashboard/profile.lua
37:    markup = "<span foreground='" .. beautiful.fg_color .. "BF" .. "'>Saimoom</span>",

awesome/layout/widgets/dashboard/ss.lua
57:        awful.spawn.with_shell("scrot " .. ss_dirs .. "/Screenshot_%Y-%m-%d-%S.png" ..  "&& dunstify -i \"/home/saimoom/.config/awesome/images/screenshot/ss_full.png\" \"Screenshot\" \"saved!\"")
73:        awful.spawn.with_shell("scrot  -d 3" .. ss_dirs .. "/Screenshot_%Y-%m-%d-%S.png" ..  "&& dunstify -i \"/home/saimoom/.config/awesome/images/screenshot/ss_timed.png\" \"Screenshot\" \"saved!\"")

Lockscreen locked (for real) after sleep

Hi !
I encountered a bug using this config, with the lockscreen : when I lock the screen, I can enter the password with the little animation around the locker. But when my computer goes to sleep, and I wake it up pressing space, the lockscreen is displayed, but I cannot do any input, there is no animation on the locker when a key is pressed, and I cannot unlock my computer, so I have to force restart.

local vol

Hello,

I'm having the following errors:

1. Ugh, an error just occurred :(! concatenate a nill value local vol
2. Battery icons or brightens bar do not update unless I press ctrl + super + r
3. When battery is low, it spam notifications telling you this. I plugged the A/C adapter and it didn't stopped the notifications.

Am I doing something wrong? I fresh installed arch and followed your instructions :/ Also, the notifications when I use slack do not display the slack icon, is this normal or I have to hard-code this? I'm just wondering what is happening to check if I can fix it my self.

I really love this project, keep the great work!!

Improved OG Gray Wallpaper

Really liked the original gray wallpaper featured on the Reddit post from 8 months ago, but realized that it had some bright colored pixels that stuck out in contrast to the wallpaper colors.

So I fixed it up using Gimp and I wanted to post this here if anyone wanted it. Feel free to remove if unwanted :)
