Anyone here who uses bspwm? Got a few questions :)

I do. It's terrific! What do you need to know?

@bahua Yeah, I like it too. I am currently in the process oft ricing - what can you recommend me to look into? Already started working on my polybar, planning on checking out rofi too. Not sure how to rice my browser startpage yet.

I've been less concerned about making it beautiful, and more with making it my own. I've been using rofi for years already, so I pulled that over as-is. I'm running a Redis backend to store my web search history. I have rofi searches/commands for command execution, window list, web search, web search history pruning, editing common config files, and launching non-steam games.

I have a keystroke bound for listing certain xprop details for all open windows, so I can easily write rules for them.

For the sake of graphical consistency and launching speed, I favor qt apps over gtk, and two big examples are nvim-qt as opposed to gvim, and pavucontrol-qt over pavucontrol.

Though I only open pavucontrol for debugging. The vast bulk of my interaction with pulseaudio happens through scripts I wrote that wrap pacmd, pactl, and pulseaudio-ctl, and talk to a polybar plugin I wrote, over IPC. The pulse plugin that comes with polybar only lets you pick a single output sink to track, and doesn't let you look at your mic at all. I have a script and a key combination for toggling mute on my mic, which I use all the time.

There's a lot else, but those are the things I can think of right off the dome.

@bahua Yeah, i want a volumer slider, a output device switcher option and a mute toggle in my polybar. No idea how to do that tho. I still find audio configuration on linux a pain in the ass. I also use pavucontrol, but only for initial setup too.

I'm commuting right now. When I get to my desk I will post some of my configs for polybar. Also though, I got some really valuable information on its config from Brodie Robertson videos.

@bahua Yeah I watched his videos, they are nice .
