## 🔧 Setup

> **⚠️ Backup your current configuration files before continuing.**  

> Applying these settings may overwrite existing configs, so be sure to manually merge or restore as needed.

### 🪟 GlazeWM

- **Install** [**GlazeWM**](https://github.com/glzr-io/glazewm/releases/).

- [`windots/.dotfiles/glazewm/config.yaml`](.dotfiles/glazewm/config.yaml) → `%USERPROFILE%\.glzr\glazewm\`

- **Restart GlazeWM** for the changes to take effect.

### 📊 YASB (Yet Another Status Bar)

> [!NOTE]

> Ensure you have a Nerd Font installed for correct icon display. I use [**JetBrainsMono Nerd Font**](https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/releases/latest/download/JetBrainsMono.zip); if you use another Nerd Font, adjust the font settings in the YASB `styles.css` as needed.

- **Install** [**YASB**](https://github.com/amnweb/yasb/releases/).

- [`windots/.dotfiles/yasb/`](.dotfiles/yasb/) → `%USERPROFILE%\.config\yasb\`

- **Restart YASB** for the changes to take effect.

### 📝 VSCode

> [!WARNING]

> If you want the **APC Customize UI Extension**, Use VSCode `v1.91.1` or below, as newer versions do not support it. It is not compulsory though and VSCode will still look good without it.

- Enhance your **VSCode UI** with these **extensions**:

  - [APC Customize UI](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=drcika.apc-extension) - Customize the VSCode interface (optional)

  - [GlassIt-VSC](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=s-nlf-fh.glassit) - Add a transparent/glass effect (optional)

- **Install** the [Alt Catppuccin Theme](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=dooez.alt-catppuccin-vsc) extension.

- [`windots/.dotfiles/vscode/settings.json`](.dotfiles/vscode/settings.json) → `%APPDATA%\Code\User\`

- **Restart VSCode** to load the updated settings.

### 📂 Windows Explorer

- **Install** [**SecureUxTheme**](https://github.com/namazso/SecureUxTheme/releases/tag/v4.0.0) tool and reboot your PC. You can also use the winget command below to install it:

  ```bash

  winget install namazso.SecureUXTheme

  ```

- Copy the files and folder inside [`windots/.dotfiles/explorer/Theme/`](.dotfiles/explorer/Theme/) to → `C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\`

- **Open** settings & go to themes under the personalization section and then select Catppuccin Mocha as the theme.

- **Get** the [**Resource Redirect**](https://windhawk.net/mods/icon-resource-redirect) mod on Windhawk and **select** Linuxfx 11 AIO as the icon theme from the available presets.

- **Copy** the [Explorerblur](.dotfiles/explorer/Explorerblur/) folder (I suggest creating a seperate folder in the C drive for windows rice tools, named scripts in my case) to somewhere safe. Then, run the register.cmd file.

### 🌐 Browser

> [!NOTE]

> These configs are applicable **only for Firefox-based browsers**.

#### Enable userChrome.css and userContent.css

1. Open `about:config` in the address bar.

2. Search for `toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets`.

3. Set it to `true`.

#### Locate your profile folder

1. Open `about:support` in the address bar.

2. Find "Profile Folder" and click "Open Folder."

#### Copy the browser styling configs

- [`windots/.dotfiles/zen/userChrome.css`](.dotfiles/zen/userChrome.css) → `/chrome/`

- [`windots/.dotfiles/zen/userContent.css`](.dotfiles/zen/userContent.css) → `/chrome/`

- **Restart your browser** for the changes to take effect.

#### Optional: Theme websites

- **Install** the [**Stylus**](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/styl-us/) extension.

- **Download the [**Userstyles**](https://github.com/catppuccin/userstyles/releases/download/all-userstyles-export/import.json) import file.

- Open the Stylus "manage" page.

- On the sidebar panel, click the Import button in the Backup section, and select the downloaded Userstyles file.

For websites without userstyles, you can use the [**Dark Reader**](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/darkreader/) extension:

1. Open Dark Reader extension settings.

2. Click on Dev tools > Advance > Preview New Design and close the window.

3. Go to See all options > Colors > Color Schemes & choose Catppuccin from the list of presets.

4. Close the settings tab (no apply button).

#### Custom Start Page

- Get my [**Catppuccin Themed Start Page**](https://github.com/swopnil7/startpage) or fork it to create your own.

- **Host it** on Github Pages or Vercel. I suggest using [**Vercel**](https://vercel.com/) as it's faster and easier to set up.

- Set it as your default home page in browser settings.

- For Firefox, you can also set it as the new tab page using the [**New Tab Override**](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-override/) extension.

### 🚀 Flow Launcher

- **Download** the config from [`windots/.dotfiles/qBittorrent/mocha.qbtheme`](.dotfiles/qBittorrent/catppuccin-mocha.qbtheme) & place it anywhere safe into a folder of your choice.
