Desktop Environment for Mellite

Installation

Install all the packages listed below. Then,

cd ~/.config
git init
git remote add origin $SOURCE
git pull origin main

sddm: Enable sddm.service A note about themes: The themes must be placed in /usr/share/sddm/themes. Then in /etc/sddm.conf, enable the relevant theme. By default the breeze theme comes with plasma-workspace which is very bloated to install, so consider some of the alternative themes.

Note: Setup does not work with NVIDIA GPU without some tweaks.

wayland: display manager: wayland, xorg-xwayland
hyprland: window manager
waybar: Status bar, use waybar-hyprland-git AUR repo to enable clicking!
eww-wayland: Another status bar, requires socat to listen for hyprland events. Until tray support has been added to eww in a stable manner, tray will be handled with waybar.
hyprpaper: Wallpaper engine The command to set a wallpaper: hyprctl hyprpaper wallpaper "$DISPLAY,$FILE"
swww: Alternate wallpaper engine

Note that ~/.config/hypr/wallpapers must have jpeg files {1..8}.jpg. A handy command can be used crop and resize images:
```
convert $IN \
-resize 3840x2160^ \
-gravity center \

$OUT
```

The command for changing keyboard layouts is handled by fcitx5.
