Setup/Installation

Important dependencies

• pulseaudio
• probably more i forgot: see https://github.com/Crylia/crylia-theme

Optional/replacable dependencies

• spotifyd
• spotify-tui
• cava (just a sound visualiser)
• alacritty
• thunar
• upower (for power widgets)
• bluez (bluetooth)
• xorg-setxkbmap (to set keyboard layout)
• ttf-meslo-nerd-font-powerlevel10k terminalfont (required by powerlevel10k ZSH theme)

Steps

Install dependencies: (exclude any optionals you don't want)

For arch:

yay -S picom-git awesome-git rofi-git spotify-tui cava   

and

sudo pacman -S spotifyd pulseaudio pulseaudio-alsa alacritty thunar ly papirus-icon-theme upower bluez bluez-utils playerctl ttf-meslo-nerd-font-powerlevel10k  

Git clone and copy into config folder:

git clone https://github.com/Jul-Wie/dotfiles  
cp -r dotfiles/.config/awesome ~/.config/.  
cp -r dotfiles/.config/alacritty ~/.config/.  
cp -r dotfiles/.config/picom.conf ~/.config/. 

Set up ly as display manager:

Delete or disable whatever dm you do have installed:

For lightdm for example:

sudo pacman -Rs lightdm  

or only disable:

sudo systemctl disable lightdm  

then enable ly:

sudo systemctl enable ly  

If that doesn't work check https://github.com/fairyglade/ly

Main differences from crylia-theme

• In my opinion more intuitive keybindings
• No bottom dock since all open apps are visible in the top bar and opening apps can be done through rofi, so it's basically useless and annoying to manually configure
• Slightly different top bar set-up including working wifi (using the systray widget which was already included in crylia-theme but used exclively for wifi so there's actually a menu to connect to wifi networks)
• Included startup apps (just picom for me) in startup in rc.lua and deleted separate startup script
• Use of more lightweight ly theme rather than lightdm
• IMO better and more usable alacritty config
