As I said above, this is meant to be my personal configuration that I can clone on my system and get working instantly so many things are tailored to my personal liking. There may be some things you might want to change to get working to your liking.This config also took a lot of inspiration from adi1090x’s rofi and Axarva’s xmonad configs so check them out.
I needed to use some android apps on my system and couldn’t get anbox working so decided this would be a perfect time to configure a wayland wm for waydroid. I chose hyprland and waybar for this. It’s a bit rough around the edges and needs some more time but most things work. To get the wayland system up and running you need the following. Most but not all xmonad bindings work for hyprland. The wayland setup has only been tested on arch linux. I don’t know if it will run just as smoothly on other distros. If you run into any issues, feel free to open an issue.

Note: Used to use i3 before xmonad, that’s why it’s here. Most things work with i3 but I mainly use it as a fallback wm.
Note: Thought of moving all my non-wm related keybindings to sxhkd but found it to be buggy and decided not to do so. You can still use it if you wish as all my bindings are configured.
There are the fonts that are used in my configuratuin for text and icons. Make sure to install them. These are additional notes and instruction you have to follow to get this config up and running. Xmonad with polybar was a bit tricky to get running, I had to use xmonad-log to get things working. I have already put a compiled binary of xmonad-log in.config/polybar/scripts so no worries there but you do need to install haskell-dbus manually through your system’s package manager.
Xmonad starts up a lot of things configured for my system, such as rclone etc. Make sure to disable the ones you don’t need.
Xmonad-ctl is required for exit to login manager with rofi-powermenu. Make sure to use -dynamic flag when compiling .xmonad/xmonadctl.hs
Make sure to install the language-servers you need on your system.
Define variables for spotify-client-id and spotify-client-secret for counsel-spotify in .emacs.d/env.el.
(defconst spotify_class_id "yourclassidhere") (defconst spotify_class_secret "yourclasssecrethere")
If you don’t know how to get your spotify client id and secret, refer to this article.
Make sure to set up the following symlinkln -s ~/.emacs.d/yasnippet ~/emacs.d/etc
This is beacuase the no-littering package change the yas-snippet-dirs variable to ~/.emacs.d/etc/ instead to ~/.emacs.d, causing the snippets to not be in included the git repository because ~/.emacs.d/etc is in my .gitignore. The symlink fixes the issue.
.Xmodmap.
You need to set the MONITOR env to your output in .zshrc for polybar to display on the correct output.
You need to make a .env in your home directory with an OpenWeather API key and the code of the city you want to get the weather of. For more details on how to do this, check out my repo here.
