Artwork refresh?

th3g3ntl3m4n

Hi everyone, the other day I was looking at the new Nomad distro and its features, I obviously love and I prefer Kaos, but I had seen Nomad Firewall and wanted to propose it to @demm, but I was afraid I would say no: D
Today I have seen that she alone has decided to put it on the repos that is beautiful, so I thought maybe I should have more courage in my ideas:
So this is the proposal that I'm thinking of somewhat, I would like to work or contribute with ideas to refresh Kaos's artwork, thinking of a discussion on irc would be cool something fresh and new, not immediately but perhaps working over time A bit, I do not know how to do anything about XD artwork though maybe if I like my ideas someone can follow it, anyway I could talk to Jomada's guy who looks like a great Kaos fan and is KDE expert, my idea would be this , Let's see if you like:
Luv icons used by Nomad, are fantastic beautiful and Flat style and also Nomad I love the Nomad decoration of the windows there is both Dark and Light and it is really nice, the wallpaper you could find someone who using the colors that like @demm can Make a Wallpaper Material for Kaos such as Papirus Wallpapers or the same Nomad, maybe you could ask who deals with Nomad a collaboration, they use their distro and us their artwork that they develop and come

th3g3ntl3m4n great themes!! congratulations! meravigliosi ;-)

demm

th3g3ntl3m4n I forgot to reply to window decoration part, it is very hard to use anything but the Breeze windeco, since all others fail on Wayland. So make sure if you adjust any windeco, to test on a wayland session. This is why the custom Midna windeco is no longer in use.

Maybe an idea for updated splash?

Another customization I would like would be a color style for the custom terminal with the colors of kaos and a bash like this promp default that would be very nice:

@demm And what about a (nice looking) new bash prompt? It doesn't have to be powerline as th3g3ntl3m4n suggested and I know, what happens to one's install is up to one's self. But still, no harm in asking.

demm

Midna is up in github:
https://github.com/KaOSx/midna
Anyone can contribute to the look of KaOS, just fork this repo, make your changes and open a pull request. Look through the history, the full current icon theme used was submitted this way for example.

Wallpaper will stay gray-scale though, that is part of the look that sets KaOS apart.

demm

AnKosteck As stated above, just fork the Midna repo on Github, make your changes for such a bash prompt and open a pull request. Anyone can participate in shaping the theme, all pull request will be reviewed.

demm

Actually, it is better to just adjust the default bashrc, if you do want to add color.
See the Gentoo bashrc as an example ( color section only):
https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/app-shells/bash/files/bashrc
Implement color changes in:
https://github.com/KaOSx/live-uefi/blob/master/configs/shared/overlay/etc/skel/.bashrc
Fork that repo, make your bashrc changes and create a pull request.

EDIT:
Scratch all the above, testing powerline here:
This is what you all what like to see?

demm That looks fabulous!

I love this, thanks demm i think is beautiful by default if you is agree

Powerline is added to the build repo, you can start helping with testing even without the build repo active:

sudo pacman -U http://kaosx.tk/repo/build/powerline-2.6-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

No install script is added yet, so you will need to read the doc to properly set your bashrc:
https://powerline.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage/shell-prompts.html#bash-prompt

So, whoever is interested in testing:

cat <<EOT >> ~/.bashrc
powerline-daemon -q
POWERLINE_BASH_CONTINUATION=1
POWERLINE_BASH_SELECT=1
. /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/powerline/bindings/bash/powerline.sh
EOT

However, on every vim start, I get Python errors. I tried to set the powerline vim bindings but to no avail.

Edit: Probably due to a version mismatch of Python used by vim (2.7) and powerline (3.6). Maybe this needs a recompile of vim using python3 or install powerline as a Python 2 module? Or can the Python install used in vim be set in some way?

demm

On upcoming ISOs ~/.bashrc will be set as:

powerline-daemon -q
POWERLINE_BASH_CONTINUATION=1
POWERLINE_BASH_SELECT=1
. /usr/share/bash/powerline.sh

The above will be added to powerline.install once all needed testing is done.

AnKosteck Did you use the python 3 included path for vim, or can you try with the path used for the .vim file?
https://github.com/KaOSx/apps/blob/master/powerline/PKGBUILD#L32

AnKosteck

What I did was create a ~/.vimrc file analog to the Tutorial with

set rtp+=/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/powerline/bindings/vim

And the error I get is:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 9, in <module>
ImportError: No module named powerline.vim
An error occurred while importing powerline module.
This could be caused by invalid sys.path setting,
or by an incompatible Python version (powerline requires
Python 2.6, 2.7 or 3.2 and later to work). Please consult
the troubleshooting section in the documentation for
possible solutions.
Unable to import powerline, is it installed?

Without the vimrc I get the same error though, the syntax highlighting inside vim with that vimrc is absent.

Edit: If I add the other 3 lines as specified in the guide

python3 from powerline.vim import setup as powerline_setup
python3 powerline_setup()
python3 del powerline_setup

I additionally to above error message get

line 2:
E319: Sorry, the command is not available in this version: python3 from powerline.vim import setup as powerline_setup
line 3:
E319: Sorry, the command is not available in this version: python3 powerline_setup()
line 4:
E319: Sorry, the command is not available in this version: python3 del powerline_setup

Edit 2: Yeah, I used the wrong paths...

Edit 3: I am now using the following ~/.vimrc with no success

let g:pymode_python = 'python3'
set rtp+=/usr/share/vim/vimfiles/plugin

Shouldn't https://github.com/KaOSx/main/blob/master/vim/PKGBUILD#L41 be yes for python3 in vim?

demm

AnKosteck Please test with new vim:

sudo pacman -U http://kaosx.tk/repo/build/vim-8.0.0776-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

AnKosteck

demm Now I got a working vimrc, i.e. no more errors upon vim start. Contents of vimrc:

set rtp+=/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/powerline/bindings/vim
let g:powerline_pycmd = "py3"

Yes, it has to be that path, since vim seems to search for __pycache__. To prove that a new vim compile is necessary, here without the new package you posted:

kostecka  ~  vim .vimrc
You need vim compiled with Python 2.6, 2.7 or 3.2 and later support
for Powerline to work. Please consult the documentation for more
details

And with the new package it just works. Or to cite the requirements for the vim statusbar

... Python 3 uses --enable-python3interp flag instead ...

--enable-python3interp=dynamicworks just fine though, so thanks. I still see no statusline, I will look further into that.

AnKosteck

Ok, I was wrong again, the first line in vimrc was not necessary at all. With this vimrc I got the following

Edit: This configuration works on 2 completely different machines.

Tried it with Konsole, works really good. No errors yet what I can see 🙂

zynex

Just a note. Powerline doesn't work in sudo by default. To get Powerline to work in an interactive shell update/create .bashrc in /root to, and use sudo -s to make it work (sudo -i doesn't execute .bashrc).

AnKosteck

I added the powerline code to /etc/bash.bashrc then it works for any user.
