niri-dotfiles

My dotfiles for niri.

Installation

Note

These scripts place config files into the correct places for Arch Linux. I expect the locations to be similar if not the same on other distros, but some adjustments of the copy and collection scripts might be necessary

First, Install all the required packages. Then, run the following shell script to install the config files to their correct place

sh copy_configs.sh

You will be asked if you also want to copy the wallpapers and SDDM theme to your system

If you make changes to the config files and want to back them up inside this repository, run this command:

sh collect_configs.sh

Included Scripts

Several scripts are included in this repo

• suspend - Automatically suspends, sleeps, and locks the device after a certain amount of time
• rotate-wallpaper - Switches to a new random wallpaper on all monitors every 30 minutes
• rotate-wallpaper-once - Switches to a new random wallpaper when Super+S is pressed
• battery - Watches the battery level, and if it gets too low the screen will dim and eventually the system will hibernate

Keybinds

A few custom keybinds are added to provide some utility

• Super+S - Switches to a new random wallpaper
• Super+M - Toggles the auto suspend mode (For when you want to temporarily prevent auto suspend)
• Super+P - Cycles between power profiles using powerprofilesctl

Required Packages

These packages can be automatically installed for some distros using the following:

sh install_dependecies.sh

To-Do

• Describe how to get waybar fonts and icons working
