Dependencies

Here is a complete list of dependencies needed for making these themes work. If you install all of them you will have a (mostly) smooth out of the box experience. Also if you are willing to edit a few configuration files, which you will have to do at some point, most of these dependencies can be replaced. For example you can replace rofi with dmenu,maim with scrot.

If you notice that something is missing, please contact me. Almost all dependencies you can download from yaourt or yay

Things to do after you set up dependencies

• Backup your current i3 setup

• Copy my dotfiles

• Install i3lock-fancy-multimonitor:

note: currently I'm using i3lock-fancy from dualmonitors branch which you have to build on your own. This below still looks and works good.

git clone https://github.com/guimeira/i3lock-fancy-multimonitor.git
cp -r i3lock-fancy-multimonitor ~/.scripts
chmod +x ~/.scripts/i3lock-fancy-multimonitor/lock

• Copy weather from .scripts dir to /usr/bin/weather.

cp -r ~/.scripts/weather /usr/bin/weather
chmod +x /usr/bin/weather

• Install oh-my-zsh first
• Install oh-my-zsh additional plugins:

git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-autosuggestions
git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-syntax-highlighting
source ~/.zshrc
