About

This is a simple collection of helper scripts to round out my two common desktop sessions:

Kwin Standalone:

• kwin
• konsole
• xfdesktop
• tint2
• dunst
• xbindkeys

Ryudo:

• ryudo
• alacritty
• nitrogen
• xosview
• xclock
• dunst
• xbindkeys

extdisplay

Wrapper script around xrandr to handle a second monitor on a laptop.

nmtuiWin

Wrapper script around nmtui to aid in network configuration in the absence of nm-applet. An alacritty config file hardcodes the colors for hte ncurses interface.

t2stats

Status script to run in an Executor of tint2 which gives network and battery status.

• network is given as any of offline, wired, or wifi/<network SSID>.
• battery is given as a progress/HP bar like so   where each pipe character () represents approximately 20% of charge.

Battery alert notifications are handled by tint2 natively, even when the native battery applet is hidden, so that functionality is not present in the script. Network connection/disconnection notifications are planned.

desks

Helper script to run in an Executor of tint2 which allows scrolling of desktops on the executor.

logout

Dmenu script to provide session/power management menu.

batAlarm

Simple script to tell you when your battery's running out when you don't have a panel.

sleepy

Lightweight ACPI handler to put a laptop to sleep when you close the lid and it's not plugged in.

transsetter

Background script to apply translucency to terminal and editor windows with transset, xshove, and xcompmgr
