# My ricing (dot files and dwm)
![my screenshot](./screenshot.png)

dwm is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X. And this is my configuration of it.

## Features of my build
* Support for brightness and volume keys
* Support for AZERTY keyboards (for the tags)
* Uses SUPER key (A.K.A ~~Windows~~ key) instead of ALT key
* Uses only 3 tags, who needs more?
* Doesn't have the weird "Firefox in X tag" thingys
* Decent status bar (no emoji for now, but that will come)
* Other fonts
* Gaps and shortcuts for controlling them (vanitygaps patch)
* Nice wallpaper and transparent terminal
* Nice colorscheme for terminal
* Underscore as text cursor instead of the ugly box
* Custom firefox theme
* Custom firefox startpage
* BetterDiscord and DarkNeon theme

## Requirements
This is the list of used software for this project (on Debian, but should be pretty similar on Arch)

I had to re-compile libxft with the bgra patch myself to make colored emojis work properly (on Debian, if you use Arch, just install libxft-bgra)

1. Install the tools to build dwm (gcc and build-essential in this case)

```bash
sudo apt install make gcc build-essential
```

2. Install Xlib headers required by dwm

```bash
sudo apt install xorg libxinerama-dev libx11-dev libxft-dev 
```

3. Install dependencies for audio, brightness + dmenu

```bash
sudo apt install suckless-tools brightnessctl pulseaudio
```

4. For more graphic and aestetic changes, install feh for wallpaper support and enable transparency for windows with picom (or compton)

```bash
sudo apt install feh picom
```

5. Install a terminal (alacritty) (actually installing cargo, dependencies and then building it with cargo)

```bash
sudo apt install cargo libxkbcommon-dev
cargo install alacritty
```

6. (optional) Show off on r/unixporn. `cava` for audio visualizer, `tty-clock` for the nice clock, `neofetch` for the informations and `scrot` for screenshooting

```bash
sudo apt install cava tty-clock neofetch scrot
```

7. Install libxft-bgra (here are the instructions on debian):

```bash
# Install dependencies
sudo apt install libfreetype-dev fontconfig libxext-dev libxrender-dev xutils-dev dh-autoreconf git make

# Download and patch repository
git clone https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libxft.git
wget https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libxft/merge_requests/1.patch
cd libxft/
patch -p1 < ../1.patch

# Compile and install
sh autogen.sh --sysconfdir=/etc --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man
make
sudo make install

# Replace old libxft by the new patched version
mv /usr/lib/libXft* /usr/lib/x86_64*
```

## Installation
> **WARNING**, you WILL have to modify the commands in .xinitrc file. Some of those depennds on your hardware. Also note you can replace "cp" commands by "ln -s" commands to kepp all the files in one place.

### dwm and alacritty rice
1. Download the repository and compile dwm

```bash
git clone https://codeberg.org/SnowCode/rice
cd dwm
sudo make clean install
```

2. Add the xinit script, you need to change this file to fit your computer and your preferences

```bash
cp .xinitrc ~/.xinitrc
```

3. Add the bashrc script, the alias probably won't fit your needs

```bash
cp .bashrc ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
```

4. Add all the fonts to your font directory

```bash
mkdir ~/.fonts
cp .fonts/* ~/.fonts
```

5. Enable the alacritty config, another possible location is ~/.config/alacritty/alacritty.yml

```
cp .alacritty.yml ~/.alacritty.yml
```

6. Add the binaries to /usr/bin, make sure to check for conflicts in filenames!

```bash
sudo cp -iv bin/* /usr/bin
```

7. Exit and login by starting your .xinitrc script

```bash
pkill xorg sleep
startx
```

### Firefox rice

1. Go into `about:config` in firefox and set the following variable to `true`

```bash
toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets
```

2. Add the userChrome.css file into the right directory (you can find the path to that directory in `about:support`)

```bash
mkdir /path/to/firefox/directory/chrome/
ln -s firefox/userChrome.css ~/.mozilla/path/to/firefox/directory/chrome/
```

3. Host the file `startpage.html` and `tailwind.css` into a webserver. `TODO tutorial here`

4. Add the [NewTab Override](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-override/) addon, then link the startpage URL into the addon. Make sure to select `Set focus to the web page instead of the address bar`.

5. Restart Firefox and right click on the tool bar and click on `Customize toolbar`. There, simply remove all the useless stuff you want. (Or add things).

### Discord rice
1. Installing `betterdiscordctl`

```bash
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bb010g/betterdiscordctl/master/betterdiscordctl
chmod +x betterdiscordctl
sudo mv betterdiscordctl /usr/bin/
```

2. Installing BetterDiscord (Make sure Discord is already installed!)

```bash
betterdiscordctl install
```

3. Install DarkNeon theme

```bash
cd ~/.config/BetterDiscord/themes/
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CommandCrafterHD/DiscordDarkNeon/master/css/DarkNeon.theme.css
```


4. Restart Discord

```bash
pkill Discord
discord
```

5. You may have to go into the settings, then in "Themes" to enable the theme. Then you can restart Discord again to load the theme.
