# dotfiles/.config/
cp picom.conf ~/.config/
```

mkdir ~/.config/polybar
cp * ~/.config/polybar
```
### copy gtk theme
add the padding in gnome-terminal

cp gtk.css ~/.config/gtk-3.0/
# if you already have a gtk.css
cat gtk.css >> ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css
```
### Install gnome-terminal profile

dconf load /org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/ < gnome-terminal-profile.dconf;
```
**Oneliner**
```bash
dconf dump /org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/ > ~/gnome-terminal-profiles-backup.dconf; echo "Created profiles backup in ~/gnome-terminal-profiles-backup.dconf";dconf load /org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/ < gnome-terminal-profile.dconf;
```

# Additionnal information
## The polybar config uses [mini-matrix](https://github.com/SkwalExe/mini-matrix)
# Troubleshooting
## Blur not working
**In the picom config `~/.config/picom.conf` change the lines**
```
blur: {
method = "kawase";
strength = 10;
background = false;
background-frame = false;
background-fixed = false;
}
```
**to**
```
blur: {
method = "gaussian";
size = 20;
deviation = 15;
};
```
