 Hey everybody welcome back to the channel today. It's gonna be another More of an adventure type video where I'm Really, not sure what I'm doing or what I don't you know know how to do But the basic gist of it is I'm going to go through and race BS PWM now For those of you know me. I'm an i3 user. I've been an i3 user for a long time But I have used BS PWM in the past and this is Basically what BS PWM looks like on my computer and hash for a long time It uses most of the colors from my i3 config And that's fine, but it's also boring. I want something a little bit different. So I'm going to use whatever else uses because that's not boring, you know, whatever whatever I'm gonna try to go through and Dracula our eyes Not a word. I'm gonna try to use words today Use the car scream Dracula to try to get as much of my BS PWM to look like what you see in front of you now that this credit to this goes to Who's this on reddit? This is This person on reddit. I'm not even tried it to attempt to Say their username. I'll just put that in the show description if you want to copy along with me I'll so Eventually, I'll upload my config files for i3 and BS PWM up to my get get lab or get um Page. I haven't done that yet. Eventually. I will maybe I'll make a video of doing that. I'm not sure anyways So where do we start? I So far, I'll tell you first. I'll tell you what I've done so far so far. I've made it so that BS PWM is pulling from a space its own Polybar config file instead of using the same one my i3 config uses I just So far I've only copied over, you know, one to one that file because I know it works But this way any changes I make here won't be translated over into my i3 Hopefully if it if it does I'm gonna be a little upset because that means I Three rice will be gone down the drain which will be disappointing because I'm not using Dracula fry three. I'm using one dark If they start mixing together, it will not look great. So I've done that I've also gone through and made sure that the sx sx hkd file is one that's only being used for BS PWM because I'm gonna try to keep those two configuration files for i3 and BS PWM separate so I don't have to have them all at one and make it all messy I've done that now. I've also so you'll see This is my sx hkd rc file and this is just the standard One that comes with arco linux and there's a bunch of cruft in here that I don't need I might go through and Eventually I'm gonna go through and take out all this extra stuff that I just don't need I don't use variety variety comes installed on Standard arco linux, but I'm using arco linux d and you still have the same stuff you in their config files as you would have if you You know we're using the regular arco linux. So it comes with a whole bunch of cruft that you don't actually need now this here is my BS PWM RC and Again, there's a just it's just a standard one that comes with arco I've made very few changes other than making sure that the the workspaces appear on the proper Monitor I have two monitors, so I don't I want You know one through five on the first monitor six through ten on the second monitor And that's how you do this and that all comes in to standard arco linux. So I'm thinking That the only things in this file here that I'm going to need to change Are these colors here? I think that's the only thing that the only colors are actually defined in The bash script that is BS PWM So let's go ahead and go get some colors Remember where everything's at Let's see here. So drag you a color scheme Colors Here we go, and this will give us the colored So we want the outline of the windows to be the purple of Dracula, which is this I'm believe it's purple here BD 393 F9. Okay so config focus border color so if we do this change words and then Do that and then the control w and restart VW subium and we've made a start now as you see these have Borders when they're not focused, which is this hex hex This color right here. So we want to make that I'm so used to my browser being on Number one and for whatever reason it opened up on number four So I'm gonna be switching to the wrong desktop or workspace all the time. It's gonna be annoying AF So let's see what a color do we want to use for I think we'll use the foreground color for that Okay, and then oops run one And we just control that it might be too bright Yeah, it's too bright Now it does Dracula have a grayish that do they have a gray? I mean, we could use this dart. We could use this one. Let's see what this one looks like Oops, and it didn't that didn't cover copy over the right one Wanted it to be this color here four four four seven five a that really the same color It is the right color. Okay. It just looked weird It looks exactly the same as was and maybe it was exactly the same as was Anyways, I'll work I guess Okay, so the next thing we want to do config active border color I Don't know what that active Config active border border color. How's that different from the focus border color? I don't know Okay, well, it doesn't matter if we figure out what that means. I'll come back and change it So I think that means we're done with the BSPW MRC so we can close that and we can go to our Our poly bark and fig now The first thing we want to do is the focused color of the workspace. So we go down here to BSPW M and We'll go down here to the Yeah, the module of BSPW M and we want to change the focused foreground here this here to This color here purple, right? We'll see it and see what it looks like And See I had worried about this that it wasn't actually pulling The bright poly bark and fig. Okay, so How do I go about changing that? so the way I have it right now is is I have a poly bar folder here in my BSPW M folder and I have the auto Start file launch the launch s h Script from that file instead of the one from You know the one that uses for my three But it's not that's not working Now I know there's a good dash C option for poly bar. So if I am if I do Super let's go ahead and call poly bar Okay, so that gets rid of poly bar. So if I do poly bar dash C till the slash dot config BSPW M poly bar Launch shot s h That did not work. Oh cuz I got it. Why didn't I wonder why it didn't work? So the see that it's this dash C that I want to use hmm maybe Maybe we'll just have to go through and hmm That should work So if I do a restart ish Poly bar in this with this here should not actually work if it's not running Doing from that. Hold on. It's like I wonder CD.config BSPW M poly bar the launch Okay, so Yeah, there's this whole bunch. This is the okay. I wonder Okay, so let's see if we can make this so if we do that say look at this Monitor out by reload poly bar main dash C But it pulls from the wrong config file. So what we need to do is change this to insert BSPW M slash and We need to do it here as well insert BSPW M PWM slash Okay, and I think I think that should be it So if we save this control WQ and Reload poly bar It does show up now the question is If I make a change in As you can tell I'm not used to using BSPW M There's some things. I just don't understand like why I can't change back to that All right. Anyway, so we control out of that. Oops. Okay, and then them slash poly bar fig Okay, and then let's change BSPW M And this is where we need to go and change Actually, we already know it's working. Just look at change the color. I'm good All right, that's great news. All right, so that means what we can do what we should be able to do is clean up This file just a little bit so we can close that Go to the top and clean up some of this stuff just rid of all this stuff. I don't need these comments I no longer need those Okay, we'll leave all this here for now We can get rid of the Nord theme because we're not using Nord to read some of these lines Okay, we can get rid of The Gotham theme is the one that is using so we'll get rid of the interceptor theme Okay, and then intervisual mode and just get rid of all of I3 Because I don't need I3 in this config because it's not gonna use it That's gonna get rid of a lot of lines We get rid of open box. We don't need that We don't need the other open box We do need obviously BSPWM So get rid of all that Okay, I'm gonna leave the two BSPWM Bars even though it doesn't use the second one Then get rid of Herbs left Never gonna use Herbs left even though I have Herbs left WM installed I think I Did try it for like 30 seconds Maybe someday we'll get that another chance We don't need X-Mone ad either Yeah, we don't need an X-Mone ad because that will draw from the regular standard config in polybar slash config This one here is just gonna be for BSPWM So we can delete that Okay, now We'll save that and the polybar disappeared Wonder why it would disappear Why would it disappear? It doesn't make any sense. All right, so we'll just do some Let's go through and read Undo all that and see if it comes back It's back again. Wonder what I did what I what I deleted that will so we won't delete it nearly as much this time So let's give it some of this Okay Oops Need that to stay Okay, and then we can There's no reason why those comments would keep it from loading. Okay So we'll get rid of the note the oh you want to I bet you Hold on a second. Yeah, I bet you it was be deleting this colors Because I deleted this part this colors here too. I bet you All right. Yeah, I bet I bet you that was what it was. All right. You won't delete that this time Okay, now let's go and try to delete the I3 part make sure that yeah, I should be able to delete this just fine without, you know Polybarn, you know crashing delete W Yep, good. All right. We'll try again with the open box if you're gonna do this yourself and you've got to go through and Delete stuff from a config file and you're not quite sure what you've needed delete Delete little snippets first and then save it make sure things to keep working that way, you know when things break What to fix because you go through and delete all all the stuff you want and you don't know exactly when it broke Like I did before so I'm gonna get rid of the two open box We delete that It's gonna end up having been this colors bracket here that caused that to not load almost guaranteed So we'll leave the BS PWM ones because those are the ones we need Just clean this stuff up This is this is half of what racing is because when you write something unless you're starting blatantly from scratch Chances are most people just steal all their people's configs then make them there and that's what I always do I mean, I'm a lazy person. So of course I do but If you're going to do that you're gonna have to get used to being a little go through and delete stuff. So And that's basically what we're doing here. This is Arcos config file and we're just going through and making sure that it's not so damn long We're gonna go ahead and do it X-mode at the same time Now I should be able to again w this and it works very good All right now I think I can delete the i3 module as well, but I'm not sure I'm gonna try Because BSP at WM uses its own module for the work spaces So I should be able to do this. Yep. Good good Everything else should be able to stay All right, so now It's just a matter of going through and choosing the colors for the modules So the first one here, I believe is memory and this is a CPU so Memory I'm not sure which one it uses Can't remember just go right to the top it uses. Let's see here Uses memory to okay, okay, here we go now Do-do-do-do what um What colors should we want this to be I? Think we'll make it science. That's basically what it is now, but it'll be a little lighter. I think We'll see if I'm right about that Color sign V Those are gonna be very very close So that was the prefix foreground. We want this to be the same way Okay Save that. Yeah, and there we go. Okay, so now we'll see what the CPU wanted. I think it's CPU one as well Yep, CPU one Okay, here we go And now what color do we want that to be? do-do-do Want it to be let's call it and Basically, it's gonna be exactly same ones can be a brighter green. Okay. All right And here as well Okay now Volume I think that's gonna be PAV Yeah, definitely. Okay, so what color do we want that to be? Want that to be that's like an orange thing? Why not? I mean we could have it red, but let's go ahead and do orange this time. Okay. Okay, very good Um And file system is the next one. Okay. All right, so What do we want that to be? We just did orange. Let's do something a little bit We can do that. That one can be the red. Okay. Hey All right And then date one Okay, is this one here I mean we can make that Let's see here. Oh, let's make that pink. I guess I like guys. I'm a little bit darker We can make it this color purple here But I'm thinking that this color purple here is actually going to be the color of the bar Yeah, let's go ahead and make it pink Yep. Okay, and then we need date two. All right. Let's see here What color is here? So we've done red. We've done pink. We've done orange We've done green. We've done blue and then um So we'll do yellow okay Even though it was basically yellow before so basically these none of these colors actually changed Oops And there's poly bar. Oh, we got to change the background. All right. So go back up here at the top it's using The Gotham theme so the background is going to be We want I think we want it to be this Purple here or do we want it to be the the bright purple? I think it's the darker purple work better Uh This one here. Okay. Oh, I didn't work at all. Hmm. Oh You want that's because I'm dumb I bet you I'm dumb Yeah, I'm dumb It's uh, yeah, that doesn't look good at all Uh We're gonna need some darker It's gonna have to be this one the current line one. All right, uh Okay Okay, and go back up here Oops, I didn't I didn't save this That doesn't look terrible. We need to go down here and change that font. So the fonts the font is um Always messes up. So all right. So if you if you can see up here where see how the there's like a space underneath these You know everything it looks horrible. What you want to change Is this After the semicolon on your font you want to change that to one oops and if you do W now That should change it. Maybe it needs to be two I think I'm gonna go ahead and change it to two On all of them. Yeah, there we go. See how that now. I also want to make the bar a little bit smaller We don't need it to be so so big Maybe 22. Oops Yeah, that's a little better. Yeah, that looks good. Oh, we you know, we didn't change the weather. Okay, so There's no reason. I mean, let's find what purple That that light purple that we were we're looking at This one here Sometimes them just deletes things because you press the wrong key button Okay Yeah, it's a little bit better. Yeah. All right, and there's Dracula For poly bar not bad um, not really that bad at all all right, so I think That's good enough for now I'll probably make a part two of this video where I look at figuring out how to make it so that termite uses A different config when I'm in bspwm than it what it does when I'm in i3 that'll be my next project for this And and I wonder if I can do the same thing for firefox. That'd be a challenge Anyways, if you like this video give it a thumbs up. If not, give it a thumbs down Uh, and uh, if you really like the all the nonsense, give us a subscribe and we'll uh, see you next time
