Description

This repository contains my personal dotfiles. The hole configuration is based around the colortheme gruvbox. This is my first attempt on a linux rice. I'm using Hyprland as my window manager. This repostory contains configurations for the applications I use on a daily basis. It also contains a .ideavimrc file for the Vim emulation in IntelliJ IDEA. This configuration is used on my school laptop. I'm mostly using it for programming and browsing the web. It also conations my neovim configuration which is set up to work with go, rust and c++.

Applications

Waybar

Overview

This is my Waybar setup for Hyprland, designed to be clean and efficient. It includes all the essential features I wanted in Waybar. For additional needs like volume control, I use swaync, which can be triggered from Waybar. It is possible to take screenshot, use a color picker or mute the microphone.

Workspaces

I've configured the workspaces so that if a workspace contains any open content, its indicator dot appears in a lighter shade of red. This makes it easier to keep track of active workspaces. Initially, only 7 workspaces are displayed, but more are added dynamically as needed when you go beyond 7.

Expanding Widgets

On the right side of the Waybar, you'll find the notification module (which opens SwayNC), the battery level, the music display, and the expanding widget. Inside the expanding widget, there are several useful tools and statistics. You can monitor key system stats such as temperature, disk space, and CPU usage. In addition, there are icons for taking screenshots and using a color picker. You can also adjust the screen brightness directly from this widget.

Wifi and Bluetooth

On the left side of the Waybar, you'll find the following modules: power, clock, sound, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. Both the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi modules launch a Rofi script when clicked. These scripts make it easy to connect to devices or select and log into Wi-Fi networks. The sound module allows you to mute the microphone, and a right-click opens pulsemixer in a floating terminal window. The power module opens wlogout.

Wallpapers

Overview

I use swww to manage and display all my wallpapers seamlessly.

Most of my Gruvbox wallpapers come from this excellent repo. To easily switch between these wallpapers, I utilize a Rofi script bound to the shortcut Super + G. This launches a menu listing all available wallpapers, allowing quick and convenient selection.

Dependencies

Make sure you have the following installed:

rofi-wayland

Keyboard

I use a Corne (crkbd) v4 keyboard — a split, column-staggered 40% layout with 3 layers. Mine is the wired version, and I got it from KeebArt. It's compact, ergonomic, and a joy to type on once you get used to the layering system.

I use Vial to configure and flash my keymap. Vial makes it easy to customize layers, remap keys on the fly, and store changes directly in the keyboard’s memory.

My Layer Setup

I use a total of three layers:

Layer 0 – Typing Layer (QWERTZ)

This is my main typing layer, customized for the German QWERTZ layout. It includes standard alphanumeric keys and a few custom modifiers.

Layer 1 – Numbers & Symbols

This layer gives quick access to:

• Numbers (0–9)
• Common symbols like !, =, #, *, & etc.
• Brackets and mathematical operators

Visual:

---

Layer 2 – German Letters, Arrows & Media

This layer adds:

• German-specific characters like ä, ö, ü, ß
• Symbols like @, €, etc.
• Arrow keys
• Media controls (volume, play/pause, etc.)
