Diinki Aero

This is my frutiger aero themed rice, I will likely update it with time; so you can head over to the releases page for more concrete versions. I made a video of this rice, which you can watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tx9dHc0MyHs

Installation Steps 🖥️

You need to install the following dependencies on your system:

• eww for widgets
• hyprland the tiling window manager
• caja the file explorer
• waybar the taskbar
• wofi the application launcher.
• I use the kitty terminal, but you can use whichever terminal emulator that you are comfortable with.

On arch, you can install some of the above with sudo pacman -S hyprland caja waybar wofi kitty, installing eww has to be done separately, easiest way is from the AUR with yay.

To install, copy all the folders in the config directory, to the ~/.config directory on your system; make sure to backup your previous configs if you have them.

The .config directory is where most applications will store their config files.

You will need to make edits to config files, as not all configs are drag & drop, the files are commented in order to help.

Weather Widget ☁️

The weather widget uses openweathermap.org as a backend. They give you 2000 free api calls / day, which is more than enough.

You need to create an account there, get an API key, and then edit the eww/scripts/weather.sh file with the following details. I've commented more specific instructions in that bash file.

The bash file stores the weather data in ~/.cache/eww/weather every time weather.sh --getdata is called; as such, I recommend creating a cronjob for calling ~/.config/eww/scripts/weather.sh --getdata every 30 minutes.

GTK theme & Icon Pack 🖌️

To install the icon theme, copy the crystal-remix-icon-theme-diinki-version directory in IconTRheme to your ~/.local/share/icons or /usr/share/icons directories and then set the theme to the one in use either with gsettings or the dconf applications; which you can download with most linux package managers.

To install the GTK theme, copy the diinki-aero folder in GTKTheme to your ~/.themes directory, and then set the GTK theme to "diinki-aero" with either gsettings or the dconf application.

The Default Keybinds ⌨️

You can edit the keybinds in the hyprland config file as needed to match your preference, by default the most important ones:

• MOD is the super key/windows key by default in this config.
  • MOD + Enter = opens terminal (by default, kitty, you need to have it installed or edit the config file).
  • MOD + F = Toggle maximize of a window
  • MOD + D = Open the Wofi application launcher
  • MOD + E = open the file explorer (you need caja, or edit the config file)
  • MOD + SHIFT + SPACE = Toggle a window from tiling to floating.
  • MOD + mouse1 drag = Move a window
  • MOD + mouse2 drag = Resize a window
  • MOD + Q = Exit/Close an application
  • MOD + SHIFT + (number, 1 to 9) = Move the window to a workspace with that ID.

Updates & Changes

Aspects and components of this rice will change with time, until I have a finalized design, I'll make specific releases on the github releases page.
