DWM

currently DWM comes with one theme

you can easily create your themes with the same steps for all WMs

  • Go to ~/.config/bspwm/themes/
  • Copy an existing theme and rename it. (eg:Etherium)
  • Edit theme.conf
  • Generate Color Scheme for the theme using python-pywal
    • wal -i /usr/share/backgrounds/Etherium.jpg
    • add the Color Scheme to colorScheme
    • Hint

      you can use colorPicker to capture colors, press on mod + p to use it

  • Then Edit polybar config
    • warning

      in the polybar modules update the script paths for all modules files

  • Then take a screenshot and save it in the theme directory with name preview.png

Finally!โ€‹
