Arch Linux Dotfiles

This repository contains my personal dotfiles for Arch Linux with Hyprland. These configuration files are designed to create a modern, efficient, and visually appealing desktop environment using Wayland.

Overview

This dotfiles collection is built around:

• Hyprland - A dynamic tiling Wayland compositor
• Waybar - A highly customizable status bar
• Zsh - Shell with custom configurations and plugins
• Dracula Theme - A dark theme applied across various components

Customization

Changing Theme

The configurations use the Dracula color scheme. To change the theme:

1. Modify the color values in hypr/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf
2. Update the corresponding colors in Waybar and other components

Adding/Removing Components

Each component is organized in its own directory, making it easy to add or remove components:

1. To add a new component, create a directory with the appropriate structure
2. To remove a component, simply don't stow that directory
