![]() In future article's I'll go over to set up a status bar (xmobar) and a new text editor (Vim). Alacritty - alacritty (can be changed in quick settings) Nerd Fonts Complete - nerd-fonts-complete Firefox - firefox (can be changed in quick settings). The system is really starting to come together. Perhaps in the next update, it will be working for my setup. After digging around, it looks like it intermittently has this problem depending on changes between updates. Note: Although I set the background opacity to 80%, I haven't been able to get Alacritty to actually show this effect, yet. My configuration might not be exactly what you like, so feel free to play around and configure Alacritty how you like. This padding is scaled by DPI and the specified value is always added at both opposing sides. This is my full config at the time of writing this: window: Blank space added around the window in pixels. My minimal configuration looks something like this (I've removed all of the comments for brevity) window: padding: x: 6 y: 6 font: offset: y: 10 glyph_offset: y: 5 colors: primary: foreground: '#ffffff' background_opacity: 0.8 A color theme in Alacritty Full config file. Others still may require a restart of the window manager. Others may require a restart of the terminal. In order to set an option, uncomment the line and change the value. Or try with /usr/local/bin/alacritty instead. By default, most options are commented out. You'll see that this file has a ton of options ready for you to customize them. ConfigurationĬopy the default configuration mkdir -p ~ /.config/alacrittyĬp /usr /share /doc /alacritty /example /alacritty.yml ~ /.config/alacritty /alacritty.ymlĮdit alacritty's config file at ~/.config/alacritty/alacritty.yml Alacritty's font, size, and colors are different than xterm's. You should see a noticable difference in the new terminal that launches. Since we want this to be the default terminal in xmonad, edit ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hsĬhange the myTerminal line to myTerminal = "alacritty"Įxit and save the file, restart xmonad (Alt + q), and launch a new terminal (Alt + Shift + Enter) Install Alacritty with pacman sudo pacman -S alacritty By integrating with other applications, rather than reimplementing their functionality, it manages to provide a flexible set of features with high performance. Like Alacritty.Īlacritty is a modern terminal emulator that comes with sensible defaults, but allows for extensive configuration. xterm is the default terminal in xmonad, but there are better options. In the last article, we installed xterm when we installed xmonad. Configuration Alacritty searches for a configuration file at the following places in this order: XDGCONFIGHOME/alacritty/alacritty.yml XDGCONFIGHOME/alacritty.yml HOME/.config/alacritty/alacritty.yml HOME/.alacritty. Now, I think it's time to install a new terminal emulator. If you're following along with this series, we've already installed Arch Linux and xmonad window manager. ![]()
