🚀 Dmenu script for switching between themes

OS	macOS (Ventura, 13.1)
Machine	M1 MacBook Pro, Late 2020
WM	yabai
Bar	sketchybar
Menu	Dmenu
Terminal	alacritty

💡 Why are my Dotfiles different than (most) others?

• 3 (Technically 4) different themes instead of 1
• A dmenu script to easily switch between these themes
• Not just themes, A bunch of dmenu scripts!

⚠️ WARNING ⚠️
I USE AN M1 MACBOOK PRO FROM LATE 2020, I DON'T KNOW HOW WELL MY DOTFILES ARE GONNA WORK ON OTHER MACHINES.

📦 Setup

To install my Dotfiles, i made an easy install script. To use it, run the following command.
/bin/sh -c "$(curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/itaysharir/Dotfiles/main/install.sh)"

Running the script is recommended over installing manually, manual installing can cause issues with dmenu.

For manual setup

Manual Setup - Themes

Install dependencies

• If you don't have brew installed, obviously install it

if ! command -v brew &> /dev/null
then
   /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
else
   echo "brew is already installed, you're set."
fi

Manual Setup - Dmenu

Install dependencies

• Install macports (the following command is for macos ventura, install manually for other versions)

if ! command -v port &> /dev/null
then
   brew install wget
   wget https://github.com/macports/macports-base/releases/download/v2.8.0/MacPorts-2.8.0-13-Ventura.pkg
   open MacPorts-2.8.0-13-Ventura.pkg
   echo "_________"
   echo ""
   echo "Follow the instructions on-screen to install macports"
else
   echo "macports is already installed, you're set."
fi

• Install dependencies for dmenu (on mac) with macports (This procces is going to take some time, DO NOT cancel the installation in the middle)

sudo port install dmenu
sudo port uninstall dmenu
# installing and then uninstalling right away might seem pointless, but this way all dependencies are installed.

• Install dependencies for the wallpaper script

sudo port install sxiv # image viewer
# pywal fork
sudo pip3 uninstall pywal; sudo rm $(which wal) # if pywal is installed, remove it
git clone https://github.com/robwaz/pywal && cd pywal
sudo pip3 install -e ./ # build

Install my build of dmenu

• If you didn't follow the instructions in "Setup - Themes", run the following:

brew install koekeishiya/formulae/skhd
git clone https://github.com/itaysharir/Dotfiles ~/Dotfiles
cd Dotfiles
cp -r config/rices/Pacman/skhd ~/.config/skhd

• Now cd into dmenu/dmenu-4.9 and compile

cd dmenu/dmenu-4.9
sudo make install
brew services restart skhd

• Reboot
• Now dmenu and the scripts are installed. If you've followed all above instructions, you should be able to hit cmd + shift + return to open the dmenu script that launches apps. See my skhd config for additional keyblindings.

🚧 Troubleshooting

• If Xquartz crashes immediately after hitting the keyblindings or running dmenu, remove ~/.xinitrc
  mv ~/.xinitrc ~/.xinitrc.backup
• If dmenu doesn't work when the "Dotfiles" folder is removed, copy the "dmenu" folder to a new location (because you cannot remove that folder), then change the variable $FOLDER in ~/.config/dmenu-scripts/config.sh to the new dmenu folder location.

🎉 Credits

• Obviously, DT. I took HUGE insporation for the "DT's Xmonad" theme from your xmobar & xmonad configs.
• gh0stzk I also took HUGE inspotations from your Emilia theme for my "Pacman" theme. I also completly ripped off your README.md design
