Dogshit Low Effort Dotfiles
Hi, I see you are here, welcome to my dotfiles, they are not so good but provides everything I need :). Ofcourse as the name, the effort in these dotfiles is significantly low, and it's filled with weird idiotic hacks, but trust me you won't notice them.

Wanna use it? Lets do this
The folders in the .config directory are actual dotfiles, so you copy them into your "/home/<username>/.config" folder and edit them according to your needs.
Just make sure to:
- Edit the
API_KEYand theCITY_IDin conky to get the weather stuff working, it is located in~/.config/conky/Kochab/scripts/weather.sh. You can get one key from OpenWeatherMap - Make sure to edit the EWW widgets for your name, username and hostname to be displayed. They can be edited in
~/.config/eww/structs/main-utils/user/user.yuck.
Done? Neat!
So...Packages?
Glad you asked! Below is the list :>

Please use the modified one included in this repository, inside .themes folder. Just to eliminate those sucky right, left and botton window borders!

To apply the theme, install Kvantum Manager

- Conky
Ofcourse, to get some smoking hot widgets on your desktop! See Conky
- EWW!
Just kidding, EWW isn't actually EWW, its beautiful. Install it to get some dashboard like widgets. See EWW
- Vala-Panel-Appmenu This is our MacOS like Appmenu in the top panel, see Vala Panel Appmenu. Make sure to install the XFCE version.
After you install the XFCE Appmenu, make sure to run the below commands to enable it:
xfconf-query -c xsettings -p /Gtk/ShellShowsMenubar -n -t bool -s true
xfconf-query -c xsettings -p /Gtk/ShellShowsAppmenu -n -t bool -s true

Ofcourse, how can we forget the notifications? The XFCE notification stuff is shittier than fortnite kids, so I decided to move on from it, then I found Deadd, it is quite good, ngl. See linux_notification_center

Time for some extra stuff!
