Repository files navigation

Description:

A beautiful but functional desktop configuration which also serves as 'agenda notebook'.

This project serves two goals:

* Provide a simple method to recreate this configuration on any new computer I use frequently.
* Share my dotfiles online.

Installation:

Dependencies:

I have used the following applications:

`conky , cmus , python3 , git`

Additionally , pywal is also used for generating colorschemes but I have not included it in the repository. It's use is trivial - Namely, generate a colorscheme from wallpaper.png, apply it to terminals, add one line to .bashrc and add one line to session-startup.

Installing all dependencies is easy. They are commonly used packages and are in Ubuntu's repository as well.

For *buntu ( >=16.04):

sudo apt-get install conky cmus python3 git pywal

Procedure:

Once, you installed the dependencies.

  1. Go to your home directory by:

    cd ~

  2. Clone this repository by:

    git clone https://github.com/abhishekkumar2718/conky_conf.git

  3. Check if there is a folder called ".conky" in your home directory. If there is , delete it:

    rm -rf ~/.conky

  4. Run setup.sh as

    source ~/conky_conf/setup.sh

  5. If the month is not December of 2017, run gen_cal.py as well:

    python3 ~/.conky/gen_cal.py

Optional:

A) wal:

  1. Run wal as:

    wal -i -t ~/.conky/wallpaper.png

  2. To apply colorscheme to any new terminal you open, add the following line to your terminal resource file:

    (wal -r -t &)

  3. To make colorscheme persist over boots, add the following command to your startup file:

    wal -R

B) cmus: If you use any music player other than cmus, edit music_info.sh as per your requirement.

C) Network Interface: Change network interface names "enp4s8", "enp0s29f7u5" in info.rc as per your requirement.

Usage

To run the configuration at any time:

`source ~/bin/conky_start`

To edit 'Todo list' and 'Events', fire up your favourite text editor and edit files "~/.conky/todo.txt" and "~/.conky/events.txt"
