 Hey everybody welcome back to the channel today. I'm going to be rising Qtile now. I'm not an expert in Python I'm not an expert in Qtile. I haven't used Qtile in over a year So this is going to be an adventure. So this is not a tutorial in any sense So if you're get if you get anything from this video, I'm very happy for it. If you get nothing But what not to do I'm also happy about that. So Expect things to go wrong. Let's jump in shall we? now All I've done is install Qtile and download DistroTubes configurations because I've figured it'd be easier just to go through and start from his and work my way up to something different And that's what I'm going to do now. I have made some changes. I've gone through and Taken out some of the arrows from the bar I've taken out some of the widgets from the bar and I've changed the group names And I've also made some changes to the key bindings. So Some of the some things are different. So I'm also going to show you the Color scheme I'm going to be using today So the color scheme I'm using is going to be called one half and it's kind of one dark with some alternate colors Now what I've decided to do is go through and do the white theme now I've never done a light theme in my life. So this should be interesting whether or not I keep it I'm not sure but we're gonna try so that's the That is the that's the color scheme that I'm going to be using so First let's go ahead and get into our configuration file. So the CD into the Qt file and config and we're going to them into config.py now Where we're gonna start is by fixing a problem that I have with the workspaces Somewhere along the line. I have two sixes or it feels like I have two sixes. I think I passed it by I did I don't I don't have two sixes. I have two fives That's the reason why it looks like I only have eight workspaces. So one two three four five Change the letter six change the letter seven eight nine because Believe it or not, I do know how to count most of the time Okay, that will change that because I kept trying to change the workspace six and it says I didn't have a workspace six and that was really messing with my head. So So anyway, I got that done They'll come up the next time I go through and refresh the Configuration file. So let's go through and work on our colors now the panel background is going to be white and That color code is FAA FAA FAA so we'll change this to FAA FAA FAA and we'll change this to FAA FAA FAA. All right, and Then the font for the group names is going to be black and The color code for that is three eight three a four two. I believe Yeah, and I cannot type three eight three a four two Oops, and you can't actually go through Three eight three a four two. Okay now I'm going to WQ this not just W Just write it and then I'm going to do Super shift R to restart and We're there. All right now We got a white background for a bar and we have black text for our group names But it's for the active group name we need to change that background so it actually work looks good So the best way to do that is to go down here, I believe and change the color So it'll be the background color should be zero and The foreground color should be two So I'm going to actually open this up in a vertical vertical split That way I can go through and Change this and still have this in view. All right, so let's see here So the background is zero. So that's going to be FAA FAA, which is not That's gonna be for the inactive groups so This screen current border Color six so one two three four, excuse me zero one two three four five six So that's gonna be the purple And we want that to be red I think so we want this to be So what six to be? Zero one two three So we want this to be here Could be red I think We're gonna try it With red so we're gonna we're gonna e four five six four nine e four five six four nine, okay, and we'll write and super shift R So that gets the bottom right right, so we got the Border right of that now. We just need the background of that. So That's gonna be this screen for So we want it to be red so four should be Zero one two three four, so let's change this color right here I'm gonna actually make sure we're doing from the right correction. All right And we'll change this to e four five six four nine Change word e four five six four nine Oops somehow I changed that to a oops open up help somehow All right and super shift R That didn't change anything that changed this here, but not change the background of the current. Why are the So confused the group names are out of order I Three does this sometimes to Where things get out of order There's nothing on to so what why is to you? Well, now I'm even more confused than I was before as usual Go back up here to the group names make sure I have One through nine is that supposed to be like zero through eight? I don't think so Why are the group names out of order? What did I change just now to make them go out of order? Here's what's gonna happen. I'm going to Save my recording Come back after a log out and see if they go back in order and you know because something's messing up here Okay, I'm back The workspaces are now in order again why that happened. I'm not sure but it does then I Three once in a while to when you're messing around with the group names It will go through and leave the old names up there for a little while And it's a little weird and you have to log back out and log back in and actually ordered in order to get them to you know Do right so let's Jump back in again. Of course. I'm not all right Now clear this in CD. Oops. We should zoom in seriously Matt Actually see CD into Fig.qtile and then and fig.py. All right now We still have the problem with the background for the Active workspace being wrong Open this up in a vertical split again so I can see the colors. All right so Active colors should be two it's going to be 3db4 that's a okay, so let's change this to red. We're not gonna make everything red So we need to change word here deny to e456 49 I've got that memorized e 456 49 write this and control check are Yeah, there we go now That's much better It's kind of hard to see The workspace in there, so I wonder if there's a way to make the current I like color is one it says so The background color if we change the background color to No, because that's gonna be all of them what I want to do is change the So let's go ahead and close this What I want to do is make the Foreground color of the current active white which is color zero so Active and inactive colors are exactly the same. Okay highlight color is one which is red to font color for group names Maybe you can't go through and change the oh you want I actually can I know what I'm doing? So I want to change this to color zero Yeah, there we go. I'm not sure that it's actually in any better So that actually goes through and changes the color of the active other screen as well Damn So maybe red's not the best color to go through there Let me think about that for a minute. All right. I'm Undooming that action. So we're just gonna do what? We're gonna it's gonna have to stay black I'm not sure that that's actually Any better, but it's okay now You know the next thing I want to do is go through and change some of these So I really don't want just red and white there because there are other colors in This color scheme so we got green yellow blue and magenta. I'm not gonna be able. Oh You know, I know exactly how to do that All right, so We need these other colors Can you have the question? I have is can I have more colors than just this? I'm gonna find out so we want to keep the numbers the same because we don't have to go through and mess around with the Numbers of the colors. So what I'm going to do and we have to insert a comma here and paste and then brackets We want to have a color. So the next color we want is going to be let's just say green. So this is going to be quotation marks pound five zero a one four F Okay, and then comma quotation marks quotation marks pound five zero a one four F That's not a pound sign. That's a dollar sign dumbass all right, I think that five zero a one four F and We'll just make this green. All right. So if if I go through and save this now It should work if I can have more than just that number of colors So if we do w and control shift r Not super shift r. Yeah, it was still working. Good. So now if we go through and change the Foreground of the temperature. Let's say let's go down here to the the temperature widget which is This one here So that would be color seven. So we want the Foreground to be color zero. So change the letter to zero and I want the background to be no, excuse me, that's wrong We want this to be seven and The background to be zero. Oops. So if we do Control shift if we save this and do super shift r the CPU temperature should change And it did not that means I did something wrong, obviously I changed the icon I did excuse me. I have to change both of these dumbass. All right So the foreground should be seven That ground should be zero and it Did the Text but it did not do this the symbol here, but it did on the other monitor Which you can't see. So something with the Separator here is messing with something. I'm gonna delete this. I think I'm gonna delete the system tray I don't really need the system tray. So I'm just gonna go delete it Which means we don't need the separator. I don't think Yeah, there we go. See now we got the little temperature thing and the temperatures. Yeah, good All right. So this is working. That means I can have all their colors So if we go back up here and we can go and put our colors in Let's I'm going to save this And restart Qtile make sure I don't error out So my shift r I am I have not errored out, which is very good And I'm still recording which is as you can see All right Now Let's just go through and do the rest of the widgets. Shall we so the next one is the updates one and Let's see updates So we want that let's vertical split this thing again and Look at the colors again. So we know we have the numbers in front of us all right So we want So we did green Let's do I don't think yellow is going to show up all that well. So let's do blue next So the foreground is going to be blue, which is color nine Okay, and the background is still going to be color zero. So change Under zero all the bad all the background colors are going to be zero We do that from this one here as well Which does not have a foreground to it or background to it That's going to show up as white Oh never mind. It's there. It's just it's just wrapped around weird So the foreground we want it to be nine And the background zero Okay, right this monster r We apparently messed that up somewhere background zero nine Nine should be blue mess that up somewhere All right, I'm going to close the split because I actually don't need to see this All right So I did something wrong. It's showing up as I forgot he has mouse actions attached to those Um, so foreground should be nine should be blue Zero one eight four bc zero eight one four bc. So I got the codes, right foreground Is the text color should be nine, which is blue All right, let's change it to a different color and see if that because it shows a blue On the other monitor All right, you want to let let's just go through and change the rest of them and see So we did We did blue Damn There we go um Let's see here the memory usage should be Magenta, so that's um color 10 and this should be Zero Okay And this should be the same so change the letter 10 19 All right, so that's takes care of that and now the next one is going to be the So is the memory My ethernet thing is not even showing up. So I'm assuming that this is probably because the interface Names are different between my computer and dt's which makes sense. So I'm just going to delete it. I don't actually need it Okay, so the volume We'll make that Saiyan so Change the letter This should be 11 and this should be zero Okay And this is the same all right And this is the current layout icon the foreground should be We'll use red again. I guess so that's going to be Four and this should be zero Okay And the current layout should also be foreground for background zero All right And the clock is the last one So we'll use green again. I guess So that's seven. So change the letter seven The letter zero Okay Right this scroll shift r And we have some things showing up here for whatever reason the Update one is not one of them the rest of them worked just fine except for the Current icon I'm guessing this because this actual icon is just white So I can just I don't need an icon or an icon We'll leave that there for now. I might just play around with that later for whatever reason the Update ones is not working foreground colors nine so nine is blue And the update icon is showing up on the second monitor. All right So what I'm going to do now is I'm going to pause again and log back out and log back in and see if that'll work If that works because sometimes something like that might not show up after until a restart. So But then when I come back, I'm going to mess around with the font and see if I can make the font bigger And make sure if I can see if I can make the font bolder All right, as you can see that is still not showing up for some reason. I'm not exactly sure why I'm sure some stupid Mistake on my part. I'll mess around with it later. It's not that big a deal. So The next thing I want to do is fonts. So All right, so Next thing I wanted to do is the next thing I want to do is font. So I need to CD back into my config file And the fonts are located Down here. Now I've already changed this to heck nerd font. So I'm going to first change the size To like, I don't know 15 or something 15 or 16 We'll start with 16 and we'll go down So that changed the font size of this here and that's Maybe a little bit too big, but let's go change the group names because I think the group names are actually done by themselves Yeah Font size nine. So we want to change that to the same size. We're going to Change the other one up there to 15. So this one should be 15 too We'll also change this to the same font as the rest. So Actually, what we'll do is change this up here to Ubuntu bold 15 That looks kind of horrible. Honestly I hate Ubuntu bold All right, well, we're going to go back and hack nerd font here. All right And we'll change this one here to hack nerd font as well That's about the right size though. I want Yeah, it's better Uh, the padding is a little off on the group names I think it feels like I'm not sure That might be something I messed around with too, but it is better easier to read Now, I'm not sure if I'll keep that red background or not May change it to something else Like blue or something. I don't know because But then blue would be even worse. It had to be something lighter I don't know that's something I would play around with later. So That's the bar Now I need to do the outline so I think the outline color is up here somewhere I'm actually not sure Is it this here? So if we change this to red, so that's the Red is um e45649 e45649 Write this and Open up. Yep. Now we have red. Okay That is It's not a very good color scheme. I don't think I don't think I'm going to stick with this white theme Because it's just going to make my eyes search for those things. It's not going to be great I think we're going to make a a course correction here folks I think we're going to go to change the background to the black So that means everything that's coming color zero should be 282c34 Which 282c34 is that really it? Yes. Okay 282c34, which I think it's going to be utterly hilarious because I'm pretty sure that's the color that we started on I'm just thinking So better than white We're going to have to change the group color names to white again though. So this is going to be Change word f a f f a Change word f Okay Yeah, it's so much more readable Goodness gracious. Why does anybody ever do a white theme like oh, I like oh, I thought this was a good idea The update thing is working now That doesn't make any sense because that's supposed to be blue not white. I'm just saying So weird really really weird. All right, but that's so much better. Yeah It's a weird color scheme. I'm I'm thinking it's a weird color scheme, but it works. So That's all I'm going to do for now. I'm not going to change my vim theme quite yet Mostly successful. It was an adventure and those these things usually are so I am not looking I'm looking at this now and I'm not entirely crazy about this color scheme It looks better in vim on in the screenshots than it does in real life Maybe it's just the font that is causing me to say that but I don't know. I'm gonna have to find a wallpaper to go along with it And I'm gonna have to go through and find out why the vim thing's not working. Something's wrong with that Obviously, I'm not doing it right Go figure Anyways, thanks for watching.
