This dotfiles repository is capable of remastering an Ubuntu 16.04 live CD.
On an existing ubuntu machine, run make livecd to create a customised Ubuntu
ISO based on these dotfiles. There are many tweaks to 'Darkbuntu' including:
- Numix theme
- Numic icons
- Desaturation of nearly everything (cool, huh)
- Remove Amazon spyware
Run install.sh to install to your home directory, overwriting all required
files. If you run it as root, it will install to /etc/skel so that new
users get a copy.
The master branch installs a version which is not user-specific. Create a
branch with the same name as your username to add user-specific things such as
git email configuration and authorised keys.
Menlo/Meslo/Consolas is the recommended font. Discussion and documentation is heavily commented within each configuration file.
Requirements:
- tmux 1.8+ (which is automatically launched, but only when it's needed)
- vim 7.3+
- fish >2.0 (bash, if you don't have fish > 2.0)
- Dark xterm-256color compatible UTF-8 terminal, SGR 1006 mouse enabled (iTerm2, xterm, urxvt-unicode). Urxvt is good.
- Mouse support in large terminals is broken with most terminal emulators, including PuTTY, except (at least) iTerm2, recent xterms (>277) and urxvt. SGR1006 mode is required, and is implemented in this fork of PuTTY.
- Flow control disabled as it causes unexpected terminal freezing. Switched off in bashrc, now fixed in in fish
As a bonus, the prompt/hostname colour changes with the hostname so it's easier to differentiate between hosts.
