v3.0.0

Yay we hit v3.0!!!

Another one hell of a beefy release with over ~3800 additions and ~4000 deletions.

This release brings massive configurability improvements across the board, an overall more uniform look-n-feel, counteless big and small fixes and tweaks, and a couple of new features, such as sWifi and sScreenshot utilities.

v3.0 also ships a fully featured all-LUA (and slightly opinionated) neovim distribution

Added

• Easily configurable scripts!

  Each script will source a config sh file, by default:
  XDG_CONFIG_HOME/dotfiles/name_of_the_script.sh (e.g. sLockscreenctl.sh) in which is possible to override the settings used in the script

• sScreenshot script to quickly grab a screenshot to clipboard

• sWifi script to handle WiFi connections via rofi

• i3: sWifi keybinding (super + y and super + shift + y)

• i3: sScreenshot keybinding (super + shift + s)

• i3: rofi-calc, calculator with rofi added to XF86Calculator keybinding

  • Organized and easily tweakable configuration structure
  • Custom minimal statusline, tabline and winbar
  • Easily configurable keybindings for neovim and plugins

  • renamed variables
  • general performance improvements
  • to improve scripts portability notify-send command is now used to send notification instead of dunstctl
  • sLockscreenctl:

    • background color by default now is transparent, which allows picom to handle blur (very fast!)

• i3: changed horizonal splitting keybinding to super + x

• i3: increased gap size

• i3: "configurable" desktop wallpaper
  i3 will now look for desktop wallpaper in its config directory called desktop_wallpaper.
  It might be a good idea to make a symlink to your desired wallpaper:

• i3: refactored config

• sBrightnessctl: redshift restore capability instead of separate i3 script

• picom: disabled fading to give a more responsive feeling

• polybar: improved icons, fixed outdated (now using latest FontAwesome version)

• polybar: improved shadow radius and opacity

• polybar: most spacing issues between modules

• polybar: missing initial hook for ipc modules

• sBluetoothctl: polybar icons not updating properly

  In latest bluetoothctl version, power and connection commands are non-blocking, causing polybar icons to not update properly.
  
  A workaround has been used to poll bluetooth status change; eventually to be replaced with a udev rule

• sBrightnessctl: screensaver brightness transition
