MonoTUI

My collection of themes and apps for a TUI system theme. Everything was made possible because of community efforts. I cannot express how much I love the community for all these projects and I appreciate them for all the hard work they have done.

GlazeWM

Get it from here!

1. Once GlazeWM is installed and running, right-click on the tray icon and click on "Show config folder"
2. Replace the config.yaml file with the one in the repo.

This file contains a few changes (such as different window gap sizes, transparent inactive windows, small changes to keyboard shortcuts, center floating windows, etc..)

Zebar

Should be installed automatically with GlazeWM, if not get it here.

• Setup

  • Download the text theme from here (Also available in this repo)
  • Navigate to C:\Users\<username>\.glzr\zebar\ (replace <username> with your username)
  • Extract and paste the files from the zip into this folder

• Apply

  • Once Zebar is installed and running, right-click on the tray icon and hover on "Widget configs"
  • Uncheck the items under default in starter/with-glazewm

Firefox

Get the theme from here!

To get a pitch black theme, I highly suggest downloading this theme.
