By the way, **If you can't find /usr/share/doc/bspwm it will be in /usr/share/doc/packages/bspwm**

4:01 you edited xinitrc and there is a thing like xfce-polkit. Im using fedora and my de is gnome so how can i find my polkit ?

[@primalkz]

I just use lxpolkit with all wms because for me others just don't work outside of their environment.

[@Tankyard]

I have problem with polkit in Void. I also use lxpolkit but in file manager I can't mount my other drives. In Arch I dont have this problem. Is there some runit service which I should enable. Dbus is enabled is there anything else? File manager is Pcmanfm

o.O nice tutorial

Thanks 👍 :)

[@piotrekmilan]

Hi, what xfce (or gtk) theme did you have in that video? I really liked this clean and modern xfce look)

[@primalkz]

it was this one www.gnome-look.org/p/1334194

[@piotrekmilan]

@@primalkz thanks

[@piotrekmilan]

@@primalkz And a few more questions, do you have Google Product Sans text in your window headers? And how to make xfce scale the same size as yours, I have all the icons and window headers a bit smaller, and the settings only have the option to make it even smaller. And lastly, how do I set up the xfce-panel like yours so that the desktops are in numbers, the wifi icons and pulseaudio module are as minimalistic as yours. Thanks in advance!

[@primalkz]

@@piotrekmilan yes I am using google sans display font for window title and same for other area.
You can try adjusting dpi in xfce font settings I haven't done any other stuff for scaling.
for numbers in workspace applet you can add default workspace applet and edit it to disable window previews and then just change workspace names to numbers.

nice bro!

[@cutmadrabbit]

[@cutmadrabbit]

@@primalkz when you paste text in term? Isnt rofi just app launcher?

[@primalkz]

[@abednegosteven-4423]

Can i try this in mint os bootable usb?

[@primalkz]

it should work if you have installed the required packages

[@chibanghoang5876]

which distro you are using? i'm using arch-based distro, so will the tutorial same as you?

[@primalkz]

For the installation of bspwm and sxhkd on arch you will be using pacman so you will do like
sudo pacman -S bspwm sxhkd
and for polybar you may use aur helper like yay or pamac or you can compile yourself

@@mynamejeff2880 yep it is good and void package repositories have most of the useful programs you will need plus the runit init boots faster than systemd atleast for me.
