Background

These were made as part of an experiment to use a light theme called seoul256. Note that this work in progress and I should be updating this as and when I feel the need. I currently use a different set of applications for things:

  • WM: bspwm currently but I've included herbstluftwm configs as well
  • Menu: dmenu
  • Terminal: st although I also use termite
  • Editor: Emacs and occasionally nano; I was a neovimmer for a while but have not used it in a while. Hopefully I'll be switching to using the Nvim-R plugin for R
  • Music: mpd + ncmpcpp (configs not included)

If you'd like to know a little more about this, I made a post on reddit: r/UsabilityPorn. There are some tips on learning R as well that beginners might find useful.

Installing

You'll need to install whatever software I use: I'll include a comprehensive list later on but it's not too hard to figure out from just examining the files. You'll find that stow is perhaps the most convenient tool to use these files.

It might be a good idea to move the packages folder elsewhere such that it doesn't interfere with the functioning of your window manager (symlinks created with stow will include symlinks for these files in your home directory if this folder is not moved).

Additionally, I use grml-zsh-config with a .zshrc.local in my home directory. My older zshrc is available on an older repository if anyone's interested. I currently use a custom theme for the prompt which you can find in the .zshrc.local file.
