My personal Hyprland configuration files for Arch Linux. A carefully crafted setup focused on aesthetics, functionality, and workflow optimization.

• Hyprland - Dynamic tiling Wayland compositor with smooth animations
• Waybar - Highly customizable status bar with system information
• SwayNC - Notification center with custom scripts for airplane mode and game mode
• Rofi - Application launcher and window switcher
• Kitty - GPU-accelerated terminal emulator
• Pywal - Dynamic color scheme generation from wallpapers
• Waypaper - Wallpaper manager for Wayland
• Cava - Console-based audio visualizer
• Fastfetch - System information tool
• Starship - Cross-shell prompt with custom configuration
• Hyprlock - Screen locker with multiple style options
• Hypridle - Idle management daemon
• wlogout - Logout menu with power options

Clone the repo and run the installer:

git clone https://github.com/thecoolestcoder/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles
cd ~/dotfiles
chmod +x install.sh

Interactive mode (asks before each step):

./install.sh

Non-interactive mode (auto-confirms everything):

./install.sh --yes

The installer will handle package installation, symlinking, permissions, and generating initial pywal colors automatically. Existing configs will be backed up before being overwritten.

Note: The StretchPro font used by hyprlock cannot be installed via yay. Download it from fontsource, then open the .ttf with GNOME Font Viewer (installed automatically) and click Install.

Ensure you have these packages installed:

yay -S hyprland waybar kitty rofi swaync wlogout hyprlock hypridle \
               waypaper python-pywal16 cava fastfetch starship fzf yazi zoxide fd bc power-profiles-daemon \
               swww ttf-jetbrains-mono-nerd bibata-cursor-theme \
               ttf-roboto ttf-roboto-mono-nerd ttf-nerd-fonts-symbols \
               otf-apple-sf-pro-fixed minecraft-ttf-git \
               gnome-font-viewer nwg-displays nwg-look

Note: The hyprlock clock uses the StretchPro font which is not available in AUR. Download it from fontsource, then open the .ttf with GNOME Font Viewer (already installed above) and click Install. Or manually place it in ~/.local/share/fonts/ and run fc-cache -fv.

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/thecoolestcoder/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles

2. Backup existing configs (if any, please feel free to edit this, it's YOUR backup)

mkdir -p ~/.config/backup
cp -r ~/.config/{hypr,waybar,kitty,rofi,swaync} ~/.config/backup/

3. Symlink configurations

cd ~/dotfiles
ln -sf ~/dotfiles/hypr ~/.config/
ln -sf ~/dotfiles/waybar ~/.config/
ln -sf ~/dotfiles/kitty ~/.config/
ln -sf ~/dotfiles/rofi ~/.config/
ln -sf ~/dotfiles/swaync ~/.config/
ln -sf ~/dotfiles/cava ~/.config/
ln -sf ~/dotfiles/fastfetch ~/.config/
ln -sf ~/dotfiles/wal ~/.config/
ln -sf ~/dotfiles/waypaper ~/.config/
ln -sf ~/dotfiles/wlogout ~/.config/
ln -sf ~/dotfiles/starship.toml ~/.config/
ln -sf ~/dotfiles/yazi ~/.config/
ln -sf ~/dotfiles/.bashrc ~/.bashrc

4. Make scripts executable

chmod +x ~/dotfiles/hypr/scripts/*
chmod +x ~/dotfiles/swaync/scripts/*
chmod +x ~/dotfiles/waybar/scripts/*
chmod +x ~/dotfiles/rofi/*.sh

5. Generate initial pywal colors (required before first launch)

wal -i ~/dotfiles/mybgs/jeff-ostberg-cozy-autumn-rain.jpg

This generates ~/.cache/wal/colors-hyprland.conf and ~/.cache/wal/colors-rofi-dark.rasi which are sourced on startup. Without this step, colors will fail to parse and the rofi theme will not apply on first launch.

6. Reload Hyprland Press Super + Shift + R or restart Hyprland

Wallpapers are stored in mybgs/. Use waypaper or pywal to change them:

wal -i ~/dotfiles/mybgs/your-wallpaper.png

Multiple Hyprland themes are available in hypr/themes/. Edit hypr/hyprland.conf to source your preferred theme. You can also change you Waybar theme by Super + Ctrl + T

Edit hypr/monitors.conf to configure your display setup:

monitor=eDP-1,1920x1080@60,0x0,1

Use nwg-displays for a GUI to configure monitors and generate the config automatically.

Use nwg-look to configure GTK theme, icon pack, fonts, and cursor for Wayland apps.

Custom keybindings are defined in hypr/hyprland.conf. Key highlights:

• Super + Return - Launch terminal
• Alt + Space - Application launcher
• Super + Q - Close window
• Super + B - Exit/logout menu
• Super + Space - All in One Rofi menu
• Super + Shift + W - Change to random wallpaper
• Super + W - Launch Browser
• Super + E - Launch File Explorer
• Super + Shift + O - Launch FZF file search.

Utility scripts for various functions like capslock, osd for volume etc

• airplane_mode.sh - Toggle airplane mode
• toggle-gamemode.sh - Enable/disable game mode optimizations

• Run fastfetch in your terminal to see system info with your custom config
• Use hyprctl reload to reload Hyprland configuration without restarting
• Check SwayNC notification center with swaync-client -t
• Explore Hyprlock styles in hypr/hyprlock-styles/ for different lock screen aesthetics

• These configs are tailored for my Dell Inspiron 5390 (i5 8th gen, Intel UHD 620)
• Some settings may need adjustment for different hardware configurations
• Monitor configuration in hypr/monitors.conf should be customized for your display setup

Feel free to fork this repository and customize it for your own setup. If you have suggestions or improvements, open an issue or pull request!
