These are my dot files for Graphical Instance on my system.
I use **[Arch Linux](https://archlinux.org)** as My main OS and **[Hyprland](https://hyprland.org)** as my window manager.
The configuration is highly dependent on **[pywal](https://github.com/dylanaraps/pywal)** i prefer a fork for 16-base colors **[pywal16](https://github.com/eylles/pywal16)**

General Read
**If you are Reading this, you are probably interested in my dotfiles.
I have a few things to say before you start using them.**
> *I use autologin via `~/.zprofile`*
```zsh
# Ensures me getting auto logged in into Hyprland
check() {
command -v "$1" &>/dev/null
}
check center-align && {
echo "$USER" | center-align
}
check Hyprland && {
pgrep -x Hyprland &>/dev/null || Hyprland &>/dev/null
} || {
echo "Hyprland Not found will not launch it as GUI instance"
}
```
> **GTK**: adw-gtk3 (gradience for colors) **KDE/QT**: Kvantum (pywal theme)
> [nwg-look-bin,qt6ct]
- *Wal**: My most of the colors are generated from `pywal16` i have added templates but if you want to look at a generated file for reference, You can find that at `extra/wal` this is in the same format as it will be generated inside `~/.cache/wal`.
It has been generated using image below 
- **Stow** : Stow is the tool i prefer to manage my dot files (i use `xstow` to be exact but it shouldn't matter).
```bash
stow ./dir -t
```
e.g
```bash
stow .config -t ~/.config
```
Will create softlinks to all the dir inside repos `.config` to `~/.config/`
- **Pywal** : As i have mentioned earlier i use a pywal fork. It provides a 16 base color scheme.
**pywal16** provides `.lighten(val%)` and `.darken(val%)` to lighten or darken the colors.
I use them in my templates so normal `pywal` won't work here.
```bash
wal -a 92 --cols16 darken --recursive -i ./path/to/wallpaper/or/dir -o after-wal
```
You can check about `wal` command args by doing `wal --help`
I want to grab your attention here for the `after-wal` script.
- **after-wal** : This will be executed after wal command is executed.
The `wal` command will generate all the color schemes from the `~/.config/wal/templates/` dir and place them in `~/.cache/wal`.
It is the after wal command that places the color schemes in the right place and does the right thing.
e.g
- It copies `colors-waybar.css` to `~/.config/waybar/colors.css` (this file is in .gitignore)
- It copies kvantum theme with a name of `pywal` also takes care for dir creation.
- It copies gradience theme with a name of `pywal` also takes care for dir creation.
- It copies background image for firefox to `~/.mozilla/firefox/xxxx.default/chrome/`
This is acheived by placing a `bg` named file in the `mozilla` dir and then finding the file by using `fd` command and placing `wallpaper.png` to that dir
- It generates a blurred version fo the wallpaper with name `~/.cache/wal-blurr.png`
After executing stow you will find this command in you `~/.local/bin` dir.

#### Waybar
Waybar uses many scripts those should be available in `~/.local/bin` and waybar specific scripts are available in `bin` dir of waybar.
Waybar get's colors from a css file that get's copied there by `after-wal`
I have a keybind in my config that toggles it. `Super+b` -> `killall -SIGUSR1 waybar`
Waybar get's started by a script `~/.local/bin/bar.sh` that switches it's output based on connected monitors.

#### Firefox
The Firefox theme i use is **[ShyFox](https://github.com/Naezr/ShyFox)**.
Checkout the documentation for the setup.
I have the current state of my theme in my `extra/chrome.shyfox` dir.
The theme is so nice that it has floating tabs url bar and much more. (Check further preview)
Keymaps i have setted up With my setup in my SideBerry and all of my extensions.
e.g:
- `Alt-J,K` : To switch in tabs
- `Ctrl-Shift-L` : To toggle the floating of sidebery
And Many more. Shortcuts are to be made by personal preference but then also if you feel i should list them or you want my one those are higly likely to be like vim ping on issue.
