Hey Hey Hey!
It has been 2 months since I released a new version.

Well, most users knew I was at work and I have been extremely busy

But I am very thankful to the community for submitting Merge Request, submit a bug report, etc etc.

Biggest change for this release was maybe using Quick Shell for Desktop Overview. Sorry Debian and Ubuntu, I am still trying to figure out how to install quickshell
to all Debian Based Distro like Ubunt and Kali.

Huge thanks to @SherLock707, original author of AGS Desktop Overview and I was happy that he shared quickshell overview

In any case, enjoy. Please go through the Whats New and Changes as per below

What's new? & changes

  • introduction of quickshell (alternative to AGS overview)
  • adjusted copy.sh to for new quickshell
  • disabled explicit_sync by default
  • Added battery info on Hyprlock (only for laptop)
  • Added hyprpicker in waybar. However, not planning to add hyprpicker in the packages to install
  • Improved response for monitor brightness script
  • adjusted copy.sh to work with simple_sddm_2
  • integrated wallust color for SDDM theme simple_sddm_2
  • improved rofi theme selector (added preview)
  • improved rofi waybar style and configs selector script. 👉 this sign means it is style or config which is currently symlinked and in use

v2.3.15

First off, Huge thanks to @dwilliam62 for keeping an eye on the changes and exerting lots of efforts to changes / bug fixes / issues

I'd like to thank community for submitting some bug fixes / updates on the Dots.

I apologize for not being active for the past months. I was really busy with work.
Im still at work so I cant really contribute much. Most likely by July until I can give my full attention to this projects

I see some PR's already to development, and I recently tested this version. So I believe it is good to go to publish this release version.

Anyway, time to close and publish this version for any MR and start to work on the development branch for next version

  • added mpvpaper support. See HERE
  • Added WindowRules-new.conf in preparation for deprecation of windowrule v2
  • Added WaybarScripts.sh Waybar modules can use the default terminal set in ~/.config/hypr/UserConfigs/01-UserDefaults.conf
  • Added Kitty Themes selector from downloaded theme from HERE. Added in KooL Hyprland Settings SUPER SHIFT E
  • Note regarding the kitty themes selector. You MUST replace kitty config dir. There are lines needed in kitty.conf and themes are in that directory.
  • Kool Hyprland Settings updated due to these "expansions"
  • moved Kitty-wallust-colorsto kitty themes. User's can easily switch themes by choosing 01-Wallust on kitty-themes-selector.
  • adjusted copy.sh to work with some shell like fish
  • updated hyprlock configs - Repositioned and resize keyboard layouts
