This is the Installation Guide for these dots! Thanks for being interested on it ❤️

Installing a Display Manager

Display Managers are the Login Screen you see when you bootup your Linux machine. Already have one? Skip to the next step!
If you want to know more, go to the Arch Linux's Display Manager Wiki page.

Some of them are:

  • sddm: QML-based DM, can be styled to your liking.
  • gdm: Gnome's Display Manager.
  • LightDM: Can use various front-ends written in any toolkit. (Description from Arch Wiki)

Choose one of them, install and enable their respective systemd service. I'm currently using a terminal display manager, called lemurs 🦀

Dependencies

You'll need to install all the packages listed in Wiki/Dependencies for your system before installing these dots, quickly install all of them if you're using an Arch Linux, or Arch-based system, with the command in Wiki/Dependencies#Quick Install.

Applying the Dots

You can install these dots now! Just run:

git clone https://github.com/retrozinndev/Hyprland-Dots.git
cd ./Hyprland-Dots
sh ./apply.sh
cd .. && rm -rf Hyprland-Dots

...and you're done! Re-enter your Hyprland session(or start a new one if you're using tty)! Hope you like it :3
Oh, if you find any bug or have a suggestion, share it on the issues page! I appreciate that :D
