I feel like you don't see a lot of vertical setups here so I wanted to share what I've done so far. I found having everything at the top was way too dense so I moved it to the side but added a second panel at the top in a different color (to go with the wallpaper) for the window buttons.

Some time ago, someone convinced me to try out Hyprland, and I've been working on this one ever since. It might look minimalistic, but not for the lack of trying.

I'm curious, what do you do about VLC if you use a tiling WM ?

• Do you ignore the pain and still use a theme ?
• Do you not use a theme and live with it messing up your nice color scheme ?
• Do you just not use VLC ?

I just combined win10xos and win10os and I also use windows 7 show desktop and a windows 10 cursor pack and segoe ui font i even made my firefox look like edge (except for the icon) and i think i should change the icon of the desktop firefox link

if you want the full neofetch for some reason, ask me!

Removing everything from the Waybar I don't really use that much, rewrote the clock module (turns out you can do that), and just decided to embrace the "Tiling Window Compositor" vibe by relying more on keyboard shortcuts.

• OS: OpenBSD 7.5-current amd64
• Host: Lenovo ThinkPad T400
• WM: cwm
• GTK Theme: Mint-L-Dark-Purple
• Icon Theme: GNOME-Noble
• Font: spleen

• Shell: ksh
• Browser: Tor Browser
• Editor: nvim
• Terminal: Sakura

Notes:

• I plan to make my own GTK and Qt themes for this machine, but Mint-L is a pretty good fit for now.
• OpenBSD-current is fairly unstable. I'll be switching back to -stable or -release when 7.6 is released in October.
• I picked the Polybar colour scheme from Amethyst (the character from Steven Universe). This is what I will use for the custom GTK and Qt themes.

Dotfiles:

hyprland.conf

binds.conf

windowrules.conf

Waybar = config (rename to "config")/ style.css

I can only hope it's not too bright or too colorful for anyone!

Wallpaper by Adrien Olichon and if you like this style, there is more good stuff.

I was unable to find Gruvbox light theme, so I decided to create one myself. The thing is still WIP and will be for a while but works for me atm. Key components are color scheme and desktoptheme. Over that I use simp1e gruvbox dark cursor, Tela light icons and Sonokai espresso Konsole theme (but I'm considering switch to gruvbox as well). You can explore it on my GitLab
