🔧 Setup

Warning

Before proceeding, make sure to backup your existing configuration files.
Some settings may overwrite your current setup, so manually merge or restore if needed.

🪟 GlazeWM

Note

This setup is compatible with the latest version of GlazeWM but does not use Zebar. Instead, it uses YASB for the bar.

• Install GlazeWM.

• windots/.config/glazewm/config.yaml → C:\Users\<Username>\.glzr\glazewm\config.yaml

• Restart GlazeWM for the changes to take effect.

📊 YASB (Yet Another Status Bar)

• Install YASB.

• windots/.config/yasb/ → C:\Users\<Username>\.config\yasb\

• Restart YASB for the changes to take effect.

📝 VSCode

• Enhance your VSCode UI with these extensions:

  • APC Customize UI - Customize the VSCode interface
  • GlassIt-VSC - Add a transparent/glass effect (optional)

• windots/.config/vscode/settings.json → C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\Code\User\settings.json

• Restart VSCode to load the updated settings.

🚀 Flow Launcher

• Install Flow Launcher

• windots/.config/FlowLauncher/Settings/Settings.json → C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\FlowLauncher\Settings\Settings.json

• Restart Flow Launcher

🦅 Windhawk

• Install Windhawk.
• Install Relevant Mods from the Windhawk Store:
  • Notification Center Styler
  • Start Menu Styler
  • Taskbar Styler
• Copy the Windhawk config files from windots/.config/windhawk/
• Apply the tweaks from the Windhawk UI.

>_ Terminal & Shell Setup

🖥️ Windows Terminal

• Install Windows Terminal

• windots/.config/terminal/settings.json → C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\settings.json

• Restart Windows Terminal to see the updated config.

🐚 PowerShell

• windots/.config/WindowsPowershell/Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1 → C:\Users\<Username>\Documents\WindowsPowershell\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1

• Restart PowerShell to apply the changes.

🎨 Oh My Posh

• Install Oh My Posh using winget:

winget install JanDeDobbeleer.OhMyPosh -s winget

• windots/.config/ohmyposh/zen.toml → C:\Users\<Username>\.config\ohmyposh\zen.toml

• Optional Step: Skip this if you applied my PowerShell config.

  • I have already included the command to set the theme in the PowerShell profile, so there's no need to do it manually. The following command is automatically applied when PowerShell starts:

oh-my-posh init pwsh --config 'C:\Users\<Username>\.config\ohmyposh\zen.toml' | Invoke-Expression

⚙️ Fastfetch

• Install fastfetch using winget:

winget install fastfetch

• windots/.config/fastfetch/config.conf → C:\Users\<Username>\.config\fastfetch\config.conf

• Run fastfetch.
