🔧 Setup

⚠️ Backup your current configuration files before continuing.
Applying these settings may overwrite existing configs, so be sure to manually merge or restore as needed.

🪟 GlazeWM

• Install GlazeWM.
• windots/.dotfiles/glazewm/config.yaml → %USERPROFILE%\.glzr\glazewm\
• Restart GlazeWM for the changes to take effect.

📊 YASB (Yet Another Status Bar)

Note

Ensure you have a Nerd Font installed for correct icon display. I use JetBrainsMono Nerd Font; if you use another Nerd Font, adjust the font settings in the YASB styles.css as needed.

• Install YASB.
• windots/.dotfiles/yasb/ → %USERPROFILE%\.config\yasb\
• Restart YASB for the changes to take effect.

📝 VSCode

Warning

If you want the APC Customize UI Extension, Use VSCode v1.91.1 or below, as newer versions do not support it. It is not compulsory though and VSCode will still look good without it.

• Enhance your VSCode UI with these extensions:
  • APC Customize UI - Customize the VSCode interface (optional)
  • GlassIt-VSC - Add a transparent/glass effect (optional)
• Install the Alt Catppuccin Theme extension.
• windots/.dotfiles/vscode/settings.json → %APPDATA%\Code\User\
• Restart VSCode to load the updated settings.

📂 Windows Explorer

• Install SecureUxTheme tool and reboot your PC. You can also use the winget command below to install it:

  winget install namazso.SecureUXTheme

• Copy the files and folder inside windots/.dotfiles/explorer/Theme/ to → C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\

• Open settings & go to themes under the personalization section and then select Catppuccin Mocha as the theme.

• Get the Resource Redirect mod on Windhawk and select Linuxfx 11 AIO as the icon theme from the available presets.

• Copy the Explorerblur folder (I suggest creating a seperate folder in the C drive for windows rice tools, named scripts in my case) to somewhere safe. Then, run the register.cmd file.

🌐 Browser

Note

These configs are applicable only for Firefox-based browsers.

Enable userChrome.css and userContent.css

1. Open about:config in the address bar.
2. Search for toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets.
3. Set it to true.

Locate your profile folder

1. Open about:support in the address bar.
2. Find "Profile Folder" and click "Open Folder."

Copy the browser styling configs

• windots/.dotfiles/zen/userChrome.css → <Your Profile Folder>/chrome/
• windots/.dotfiles/zen/userContent.css → <Your Profile Folder>/chrome/
• Restart your browser for the changes to take effect.

Optional: Theme websites

• Install the Stylus extension.
• **Download the Userstyles import file.
• Open the Stylus "manage" page.
• On the sidebar panel, click the Import button in the Backup section, and select the downloaded Userstyles file.

For websites without userstyles, you can use the Dark Reader extension:

1. Open Dark Reader extension settings.
2. Click on Dev tools > Advance > Preview New Design and close the window.
3. Go to See all options > Colors > Color Schemes & choose Catppuccin from the list of presets.
4. Close the settings tab (no apply button).

Custom Start Page

• Get my Catppuccin Themed Start Page or fork it to create your own.
• Host it on Github Pages or Vercel. I suggest using Vercel as it's faster and easier to set up.
• Set it as your default home page in browser settings.
• For Firefox, you can also set it as the new tab page using the New Tab Override extension.

🚀 Flow Launcher

• Install Flow Launcher
• windots/.dotfiles/FlowLauncher/ → %APPDATA%\FlowLauncher\
• Restart Flow Launcher
