 So as you can see today, we're going to be doing something a little bit different. There are these videos on YouTube, you've probably seen them where someone will try to speed run a video game from beginning to end as fast as possible. So I was thinking, how could I adapt this style of video to something that I do and hopefully do well. And the answer that I came up with was racing. So I do a lot of racing. So I thought, how fast can I install and rice I three and poly bar from beginning to end. So here's a speed run of it. So in the lower right hand corner, you're going to be seeing a stopwatch. I will start that. And then from that moment on, the video will be completely unedited. So there's going to be no cheating. I've promised myself that I wouldn't cheat. So let's go ahead and see how quickly I can do this. And I'm going to be doing this on Manjaro. And I was originally going to do it on Ubuntu because it was a little bit more difficult, but I decided to go a little bit easier on myself and just use an arch based distro. So let's go ahead and see how this works out. The only changes I've made to Manjaro are to update it. This is a fresh install. So I haven't got an AUR helper or anything like that. So it should be an interesting process. Let's go ahead and jump in. So let me go ahead and start the stopwatch now. So the first thing we'll need to do is open up terminal, do sudo pacman dash s i3. And then polybar, hopefully it's polybars in the regular repositories. I don't actually know if it is. We're going to find out the menu if it's here, alacrity if it's here. And let's see. What else do I need? Oh, Vim. I'll need Vim. But that is it. We'll see what is not here off, of course. This is why speedruns don't work when you don't know how to type or the damn I3Gaps is fine. Even though technically they're going to be not the same anymore. So just a guess there. There we go. Everything was in the standard repositories are just so good sometimes. No, I'm not moving away from the fifth order. So that's literally all there is to that. So let's go ahead now and log out. New this here, log out, go down here, I think, yeah, right here, all right. And then enter the password and enter and enter again. Now if we hit, there we go, we got ourselves a terminal. So we should be able to zoom in a little bit here. So cd.config I3 and doing all this here, there's a config file on here, so we're going to Vim into config and we're going to change some things here first. So we're going to go down here to the, this one here, this one here is first. So we'll delete this word, delete this letter so that way I can kill things normally and we'll change this to Lackrity, change dollar sign to a Lackrity, okay, right and click that restart I3, do an enter, now we have a Lackrity, good. Now we're going to go back into that I3 file, vim into config again and go down here to the bottom and get rid of the bar, okay, there's the bar. Now we're going to make a directory because we're going to cd up level, make directory poly bar, and then we're going to cp slash etsy poly bar, config.ini into poly bar, like so. Now if we cd into poly bar, this there is now a config.ini in there. I think if we vim into that, we need to check the name of the configuration files, we're going to vim into config there and see what the name of the bar, the example bar is I think it's just an example, I think I passed it. Yeah, it's just examples, we're going to change this to bar, like this, and then we're going to vim into launch.sh, and then we're going to put another workspace, open up Firefox and go to poly bar, like so, poly bar again, wiki is where we need to go and scroll down here to this script right here, copy this, go back to this particular thing, oops, and copy it a little bit more than we needed to. That's okay, all this is copied is commented out for some reason, delete that then and do that again, because there's apparently an extra line there, there we go, that's better, we can delete this one here, and delete from the end of this here. So delete dollar sign, okay. And I think we named that regular bar and set up bar one, so we'll change this to bar, and that should be good. Now, we're going to chmod plus x, launch.sh. Now if we do stop slash launch.sh, we should get a poly bar, which we do. That should be good. We can close that and kill all poly bar, like so, we're going to ctd.config, i3, vim, oops. So got down here at the bottom, we're going to exec underscore always, and then till the slash.config, oops, slash poly bar dot slash launch slash mat launch.sh, ampersand there, write that, do that, and then we have a poly bar. Now, what I need to see is if I restart poly bar again, if we get two poly bars, we don't. Excellent. That means things are working the way they should. Excellent, excellent. Now we need to go to, let's open up another terminal, sudo pacman dash s, fa, and do that, yes, that's installed now. We need to go back to two, we need to find ourselves a wallpaper. So we're going to go to grovebox, ubuntu, manjara, because we're not in wallpaper, go, and images, oh, there's some nice ones here. This one actually will work really well. So let's here, view image in new tabs, we can make sure that this is the proper size, save image as in pictures, we're going to name it, there's not a, apparently it's not showing everything, which is awesome. That is awesome. That's very fantastic. Okay. It doesn't matter. We are, that's a webp, great webp, just view the image, sure. Like seriously, nobody likes webp, save image as, that's, jpeg is much better. Now go to three, cd into pictures, see what this looks like, move ti into, oops, oh, into just wall.jpeg, like so that would work better here. Do this do exec underscore always, fa dash dash bg dash fill, and then till the slash pictures slash wall, yeah, dot jpeg, save this, restart, restart i3, now we should be able to go to there and we got our wallpaper. That's excellent. We're going to need to go to the grove box theme grove theme, like so, there we go. This is going to have the codes that we need. They're right here. So we're going to go here and move this to workspace to their side by side. Now, the, actually, before we do that, we're going to get rid of the title bars, actually, you want to know what, let's not get rid of the title bars. For craps and giggles, let's keep the poly bar, the title bars and the demo. So we're going to need to go to i3 GitHub in order to get the code that I need to do that. So we're going to need to go to with respect to one, so we can actually see the whole thing. Let's probably see if I can find the tiling project. You know, I'm an idiot, Matt, I swear to God, I know how to use i3. Like I knew I boast about i3 is documentation all the time. And I completely whiffed that it was there. So search for colors here. The thing that we need is this block right here. Why this isn't actually in the default configuration file? I don't know. Okay. So let's see here. Oops. All right. So apparently we didn't copy the whole thing. All right, so now we can go back here and this back to to the proper thing and go back to the grow box theme here, which we need. And let's see here. That's not what I wanted to do. It's all work. It's all work. All right. So let's see. So we want the border. Let's see the border to be like say let's orange. So D 65 D zero E and do the same for the background and same for the indicator and same for the child border. Now, if we save that and we start i3, what does that look like? Oh, that's nice. Actually, that looks pretty good. Um, and then we need to do the folk unfocused. I think, uh, actually we'll do both the inactive. So for this, we'll do the, um, the BG one. So that is a three C three, eight, three, six in the background should also be that and the text for both of these should be, um, FB F one F C oops. Excuse FB F one C seven and change this again. Um, did I actually change that? Yes. Okay. So we did it right. All right. Had a little bit of a brain fart there. That's okay. Three C three, eight, three, six and do this again here. Okay. Now I think if let's see what that change, that's not bad. I think I need to change it for this one too though. Change this, this will come back for the text here in a second. Change this to FB F one C seven. I changed it to background of that. That doesn't look anything like what they show that background. Color there, that looks, that looks more like real brown. I think I'm going to change that to the BG zero. Don't quite like that. Oops. Oops. Get out of insert mode mat. All right. So it's two eight two, two eight two eight two eight and we'll change it there and there and there and there and there and there. Come on, Matt. Learn how to use them again. All right. Now. Oh yeah. That looks better. Yeah. Okay. So we need to shoot to go up here and let's see here. Change this to the search for nerd fonts. Let's see here. Just just nerd fonts. Here we go and downloads. See if we can find, see if we can find a proper font. So we'll just go here and one that I normally go with is JetBrainsMano, which is, well, let's go with hack. Hack is good. So that's in there. Let's go ahead and open up a new terminal, go to CD downloads. So there's an unzipped hack here. All right. Less. So now we need to make directory till the slash dot fonts. And now I'm just going to do unzipped hack again into till the slash, which is what I should have done in the first place. This is not going to work. Zip. There we go. Do not make it make it proper file name not matched. CD, CD, CD fonts. Well, I can't I really have a hard time typing. So we're going to do that again. So that's CD downloads less. Hack does it. OK, so unzip hack dot. The zip into till the slash dot fonts file name not matched. Apparently can't do that like that. I didn't know that. OK, awesome. Move hack dot zip into till the slash dot fonts. Matt, why do you want to type dot config every time? This is what happens. Your fingers are cold. You can't type anything. Yes, blame the cold weather when you can't type. All right. Send in unzipped hack. There we go. All right. Now we can go back here. We need to we can move this to a different workspace for a minute. Go back here to here and type in a hack nerd font. And changes to nine. All right. There we go. I think that worked out just fine. Let's actually make sure that it worked out just fine changes to 20. So we can make sure. Yeah. All right. Good. Now there is I three. Now the next thing we need to do is just change myself some poly bar. So we're what we're doing on time. We're doing a 15 minutes. That's a lot longer than I thought I was going to take. To be honest with you, I thought I could do a lot faster than that. But what the hell we're moving. All right. So to do poly bar, we need to put out of this and CD into a poly bar and then to the config file. All right. So the first thing we're going to do is get rid of some of these modules. So let's see. We don't need follow system. We don't need pulse audio. Actually, we'll keep pulse audio and we'll get rid of the keyboard layout and we will keep memory and CPU. We'll get rid of the ethernet and date. So that should carry that restart that. That takes care of quite a bit of that stuff. Now we will let's see here. So if we do go back to the grow box and go here and scroll back down to where we can find the colors. I'll get rid of the show. We'll show some a little bit more. Okay. So the first thing we need to do is change the background. So we'll go back up here. Background color. So we could do. Yeah, right here. So background color is going to be 282 828. Okay. And we don't need a background alt. I don't think, but we'll make that the same color. Okay. The foreground is going to be EBD BB2. Let's see here. Everything else. The red, the alert can stay. That can be CC241D 241D. Format four comes after three. We don't need a disabled one. Oops. All right. Now let's make some other ones green. Equals. Pound 9897. 989718. 718 yellow. Equals. Pound. D799. 21. And then blue equals Pound 4458588. And then purple probably won't need all of these, but we're just going to do it anyways. This is the way that I do it. If I was doing this, you know, 1-6-2-8-6. And then aqua equals Pound 689, 689, D6A. I don't need gray. Red equals Pound FB4934. Okay. And then the rest of those are just lighter versions of the things we already have. We don't need those. Okay. Now, background is that one. We save this now and restart. We're there for a little bit. Actually, to be honest with you, that looks kind of cool. Just monotone. But no, that'd be lazy and I don't want to be lazy, but I do want to be done by 25 minutes. Okay. So let's change this. So JetBrains. Oops. I see. I'm used to doing JetBrains. I'm going to hack nerd font. And then I'm looking for the syntax of the fonts. I can never remember. There we go. All right. Sorry about that. Technically, that was not what I was supposed to do. All right. So it's supposed to be colon size 10. Size equals 10 comma. And then that's fine. And it ends. Oops. Oops. I always have these in parentheses. All right. And then. ngp change that to one. And that should be fine. I don't really know if we'll need both of those or not. May need them later on to change different sizes, but we'll see. Okay. Now. Move on to X workspaces. Right. So let's see. Do we want to keep the underline mechanism? Normally I do not, but we can anyway. So we'll do that this way. So the underline here will do. We'd have an orange. We don't need an orange. We'll use yellow for that. So. And. Label dash occupied. Dash. Foreground. Equals. Dollar sign. Colors. Blue. So. And let's see. Don't need to do an urgent one. Just be a waste of time. All right. So now if we restart that, there we go. All those are occupied. So they're going to be a different color. That's fine. So now moving on to a pulse. Audio. Now we should do something a little bit different for this. So. Let's see how we can do this because the pulse audio. But the pulse audio script is going to be a little bit different. I don't think it has a prefix mode. Oh, it does have a prefix. Oh, so we need to go to nerd fonts again. Nerd. Fonts. Actually. And this year. Doo doo doo. Scroll down a little bit. Icons. Why didn't I? There we go. And apparently I didn't click. Clicking is hard. Okay. So. Volume. So it showed up there. Yep. One of these will do. Let's change. This. Just so. Oops. Oops. There we go. Now. Format. Volume. Foreground. Equals. I have the names of these things here. So. Don't assign squiggly brackets. Colors. Green. Like so. I think they'll work. And then. Hmm. We could do something fancy. We'll see how I go on time. So we'll restart that. See if that worked out there. We need to put some space in between this. Yeah. It's much better. Okay. Now. Doo doo. So next. I think we need to find that separator. SEP. R8 or. And comment that out. Get rid of that. Okay. So now we're going to look for. Our Ram, which is actually going to be memory. So go back here. And search for memory. While it's way more M's than I meant to type. My key birds been doing that a lot lately. I don't know why. Okay. And then. Color prefix foreground. Change this to. Where I did a blue. So let's do a purple. Okay. Like so. Yeah. That'll work. Oh, hold on a second. We got to go back to back up to the pulse. That's not going to work. So. Oops. So. Format volume. Format. Dash volume. Foreground. Equals. Column colors. For ground. So. And apparently I messed that up. Hmm. Usually this happens because there's two different ones. Okay. Apparently that already exists because it does it. It exists right here. That should work. There we go. That's better. Okay. Just a pro tip. If your poly bar ever disappears, it usually means that you have a line in there twice. That's usually the problem. Okay. So now we need to move on to CPU. So I changed this into chip. Probably. Chip. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Works. Okay. So. Then change this to, so we did green and purple. And. We already have yellow there. So changes to aqua, I guess. Aqua and green. Yeah. All right. And then. Do this. Oops. Aqua. Format. Prefix. Notice for foreground. Equals. Dollar sign parentheses. Or squiggly bright colors. Foreground. So. Do this. Yeah. All right. Now. Date. Here we go. Oh, let's see. I don't remember what the syntax is for. We're going to. Label. Prefix. Equals. And then we'll see if this is right. I'm just I'm completely pulling the side of my rear end. Uh, say clock. That's not how you spell clock, Matt. There we go. This work. I don't think we'll need that many spaces. Label. Prefix. Foreground. Equals. Colors. Colors. Colors. Colors. Prefix. Foreground. Equals. Colors. Dot. What have we used? Red. There we go. See if that worked. That didn't not work. So that means that label prefix foreground is not right. Um, I bet you it's good. Then it could probably be maybe. Foreground. Format. Prefix. Maybe. So. Yeah. I know what I'm doing. All right. We need a little bit more space in there though. Let's see. Yeah. Okay. Um, now let's see here. I think that we need to change a couple of things. So we're done with colors, I think. So we'll go back up here to the actual settings. So we're going to change the. Let's see here. Do. Do. Things that we need to change. So. Radius. Six. I think we'll change this to zero. So there's no rounded corners. And. There's like a space in between there, but I don't actually mind the space. We can keep that. So. I think. That that is done enough. So. We'll put that and a pseudo pack man. S. Neo fetch. And. There you have it. 28 minutes. 43 seconds. To. Start to finish. Now it's not anything special. I could have went another 10 minutes on that poly bar. And I'm sure there's going to be somebody in the. The. The comments saying low effort. Agreed. If. If you guys like this format. I will do it again. Probably with another window manager that I'm not so familiar with. So it's even a little bit more difficult. So. I mean, I'm pretty familiar with I three. So. This was fairly easy for me. And I am astonished that it took me 28 minutes. But whatever. It's okay. I will. I will suffer the fact that I did it. I will suffer the fact that I did it. I will. I will suffer the fact that I did it. In only under half an hour. So. And obviously I could have riced more. I could have riced the terminal. I could have riced the menu. Stuff like that. And maybe again if you guys are interested in. A more. Complex version of this. Let me know in the comment section below. You can follow me on massive on our Odyssey. Those links will be in the video description. Thanks to all my patrons. You guys are all amazing without you. The channel just would not be anywhere near where it is right now. So thank you so very much. You can support me on Patreon. At patreon.com slash linuxcast if you'd like to. There's also links to libera pay. And the YouTube nonsense in the video description as well. If you'd like to support me in alternative methods.
