I used to lurk on unixporn a lot in the old place, but I never thought my setup was worth showing (no rounded corners, cool floating stuff, slick darcula themes). However…I’m supposed to be an active contributor here 😅
Everything is centered around EXWM which basically allows you to embed your x windows into an emacs buffer (turning emacs into a window manager).
The stuff
- Firefox: Zenburn Dark and Dark Reader
- Spotify: Spicetify
- Discord: Better Discord
- Mailspring: Custom
- Notifs: Dunst
- Screenlock: i3lock-color
- Fetch: Fast Fetch
- Shell: Oh My Zsh with a custom prompt
- Term Emulator: vterm
- Desktop manager: SDDM (important
ifwhen exwm breaks) - Grub: grub2-zenburn with slightly more accurate colors
- Font: Hack
- Cursor: Simple Soft Cursor
- GTK: zeburn-gtk2-3
- Icons: Menta
- Emacs: Doom Emacs with Zenburn Theme
- Bar: Polybar with a bunch of random custom scripts
- Window Manager: EXWM
- OS: Arch BTW
- Laptop: Framework
- and other stuff I’m forgetting 🤷
Always glad to see another EXWM user in the wild! If they ever manage to add gaps like the other window managers, I think it will really take off in popularity.
Hiya! We are definitely a rare breed.
I’d love for it to take off, but idk how many ppl are weird enough to want to live in emacs with all its quirks.
If I could embed x windows in tmux…
Vim + Tmux + x == don’t need anything else
For now it’s frame buffers in terminal 7 if I want to feel like hacker
I just want to cover my bases and adhere to rule 5 (add a details comment), but I think I included all my details in the post description so 🤷.
I mean… most of the eye candy setups are non-functional, so I don’t think that your setup is not flashy. In fact, it’s quite nice.
