My personal system configurations for a custom Wayland desktop environment built on Omarchy.

Arch Linux Hyprland Waybar AGS

What's Inside?

My current setup is built around these core components:

  • Hyprland: A highly customizable dynamic tiling Wayland compositor.
  • Waybar: A customizable, modular status bar.
  • AGS: Aylur's Gtk Shell, used for creating custom, scriptable desktop widgets.
  • Dynamic Theming: Seamlessly integrated with Pywal to extract color palettes from wallpapers and apply them instantly across the entire system (widgets, terminal, status bar).

Directory Structure

  • hypr/: Hyprland configurations (keybindings, window rules, animations, monitor layout, lid-close display handling, and autostart).
  • waybar/: Status bar layout, CSS styling, and custom interactive modules.
  • ags/: Custom desktop widgets built with TypeScript and GTK — media player, notification hub, quick settings, system monitor, and wallpaper picker.
  • scripts/: Global utility scripts seamlessly exposed as commands by the installer.
  • wallpapers/: A collection of local custom wallpapers for dynamic theming.
  • omarchy/hooks/: Event hooks for the Omarchy system (e.g. automatically applying dynamic themes when changing wallpapers).
  • branding/: Custom ASCII art and system branding assets.

Custom Commands

The installer automatically exposes scripts from the scripts/ directory as global commands:

  • blob_wallpaper [path]: Sets your background using Omarchy's background system. If used with an image from ~/wallpapers/ or a valid path, it leverages Pywal to generate a full system color palette and dynamically updates the blob-dynamic theme, AGS widgets, and Waybar.
  • blob_theme <share-link-or-id>: Pulls a color palette shared from the wall-styles site and applies it as the blob-dynamic theme (e.g. blob_theme "https://wall-styles.vercel.app/?id=ab12cd34ef").
  • blob_glass [on|off|toggle]: A quick toggle to enable or disable window transparency on the fly.
  • blob_boot [path]: Safely updates your Plymouth boot splash image (defaults to branding/boot_flash.png) and rebuilds the initramfs (GRUB compatible via mkinitcpio).
  • blob_wifi: A streamlined script to connect to the GMU Eduroam Wi-Fi network using iwd and systemd-resolved (replaces NetworkManager).
  • blob_claude_key <set|show|clear>: Stores your Claude Console Admin API key (sk-ant-admin01-...), used by the Claude Code Usage card in the quick settings panel to pull daily token and cost stats.

Installation

An automated installer script (install.sh) is provided to safely apply these configurations to your system.

# Run the standard installer
./install.sh

# See what would change without modifying any files (dry run)
./install.sh --check

# Force overwrite of any existing local changes
./install.sh --force

The installer also configures the laptop lid switch so the machine stays awake (and the external monitors stay active) when docked or on AC power.

To roll back to the backups the installer created, use revert.sh:

# Restore configs from their .bak versions (prompts first)
./revert.sh
