Run the `install.sh` script included in the repo:\n\n```sh\ngit clone https://github.com/document10/desktop-tiler-toolkit\ncd desktop-tiler-toolkit\nsh install.sh [DE]\n```\n\nReplace DE with one of the supported desktop environments (`xfce4` or `mate`,case sensitive).Running the script with no arguments will also tell you what DEs are supported.\n\n2. Assign the command `sh switch_xfce4.sh` or `sh switch_mate.sh` (depending on yor DE) to a panel button or a keyboard shortcut of your choice.\n\n3. Add `plank` to the session autostart.\n\n## Known issues\n\nThere are some issues with this desktop which I hope can be fixed.They are:\n\n- After switching WMs you lose windows outside of the current desktop\n- The switch can get janky at times,especially if you do it often without logging out.\n- WM-independent keybinds (like launching a terminal) are supposed to be managed by the desktop session, so they aren't included in the xmonad config to avoid conflincts.\n\nBecause of these issues I don't advise using this as your daily driver ,until all issues (known and unknown) get solved.Anyone with the knowledge to fix these issues is welcome to create a PR.\n\n## Required packages\n\n- plank\n- picom\n- xmonad\n- xmonad-contrib\n\nTo install these ,look up the package names and the installation commands for your distro.It's recommended to have these packages installed **BEFORE** running any of the steps above.So far I only tested this on Endeavour OS (Arch) but more testing will be done soon.\n","funding_links":[],"categories":[],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdocument10%2Fdesktop-tiler-toolkit","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fdocument10%2Fdesktop-tiler-toolkit","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdocument10%2Fdesktop-tiler-toolkit/lists"}
