How to configure exodia.conf

exodia.conf:

** this config file contains the configuration of bspwm to load on startup allow users to change backgrounds, polybar themes, icons, etc... easily.**

  • Themes Setting:
    • change the background by changing the value of the background (eg background = path/to/img.png ), same as for the rest of the setting
    • Themes must be located in /usr/share/themes
    • Icons/Cursors must be located in /usr/share/icons
    • color-scheme/polybar ~/.config/bspwm
    • change-betterlockscreen for changing the Background for betterlockscreen when you change the theme set it ti true to enable it
# Themes Setting #
background = /usr/share/backgrounds/Islamic_warrior_9.jpg
color-scheme = IslamicWarrior
theme = Tokyonight-Dark-BL
icons = neon-icon
cursor = ArchTrix
polybar = IslamicWarrior
change-betterlockscreen = false
  • Configurations, Appearance and Other Setting:
    • change the picom by changing the value of the picom (eg picom = animation.conf ), same as for the rest of the setting
    • picom must be located in ~/.config/bspwm/picom
    • keybinding must be located in ~/.config/bspwm/keybinding
    • multi-bar-monitors for launching polybar in all connected monitors (to disable set to false to open polybar in primary Monitor ONLY)
    • keyboard-layouts to configure your keyboard layout, see All Layouts
# BSPWM Configurations, Appearance and Other Setting #
picom = shadow-animation.conf
keybinding = sxhkdrc
multi-bar-monitors = true
keyboard-layouts = us,ar
  • Exoida OS Setting:
    • exoida-assistant-auto-start to open exoida-assistant App on startup (to disable set to false).
    • auto-update for auto-updating bspwm config from official exodia repos, as the new config is located in(after update/install) /etc/skel/.config/bspwm and you need to copy manually to ~/.config/bspwm to get the new configuration but here if you set to true it will update automatically and take a backup for the old config if you don't need the new config (if you have your own config and don't want to override on it) set to false
# Exoida OS Setting #
exoida-assistant-auto-start = true
auto-update = true

If you want to change a specific theme config:

  • go to ~/.config/bspwm/themes/<Target Theme>
  • edit theme.conf file

e.g ~/.config/bspwm/themes/VALORANT/theme.conf
