Installation

Follow the steps below to install these themes on your system.

$ git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/adi1090x/polybar-themes.git
$ cd polybar-themes
$ chmod +x setup.sh
$ ./setup.sh

[*] Installing Polybar Themes...

[*] Choose Style -
[1] Simple
[2] Bitmap

[?] Select Option : 1

[*] Installing fonts...
[*] Creating a backup of your polybar configs...
[*] Successfully Installed.

Note : These themes are like an ecosystem, everything here is connected with each other in some way. So... before modifying anything by your own, make sure you know what you are doing.

Launch the bar

To launch the bar with the selected theme, Just...

$ bash ~/.config/polybar/launch.sh

Usage : launch.sh --theme

Available Themes :
--blocks    --colorblocks    --cuts      --docky
--forest    --grayblocks     --hack      --material
--panels    --pwidgets       --shades    --shapes
$ bash ~/.config/polybar/launch.sh --hack
## Launch Polybar
bash ~/.config/polybar/launch.sh --cuts

Use the scripts

Almost every theme has pywal and random color support added to them. If you want to use the bar with pywal, just execute the pywal.sh script with the path of the wallpaper or wallpapers directory. eg - If you're using material theme...

$ bash ~/.config/polybar/material/scripts/pywal.sh /path/to/wallpaper

If you want to use random colors for your bar, just execute random.sh script -

$ bash ~/.config/polybar/material/scripts/random.sh

You can add these lines, before the launch command in your WM startup file if you want to use pywal or random color for your bar every time you login. eg - in Openbox's autostart file...

## Launch Polybar with random wallpaper
bash ~/.config/polybar/material/scripts/pywal.sh /path/to/wallpaper_dir
bash ~/.config/polybar/launch.sh --material

; Powerline Glyphs
font-2 = Iosevka Nerd Font:style=Medium:size=19;3

; Larger font size for bar fill icons
font-3 = Iosevka Nerd Font:style=Medium:size=12;4

; Smaller font size for shorter spaces
font-4 = Iosevka Nerd Font:style=Medium:size=7;4
