Configuration

Turn off "Hello" screen

Bottom right corner turn off the Launch at start switch. After that close the window. You can start it later by Super manjaro hello.

Set the time

This is only necessary if you didn't have internet connection during the installation.

Go to the Settings applet by Super settings. Find the Date & Time tab under the Details section or by searching for it. Turn on both the Automatic Date & Time and the Automatic Time Zone switches. You can leave the settings window open.

Update the system

Run the terminal by Super terminal . Type sudo pacman -Syyu and give your password. Answer to the questions with yes by pressing y .

Install the 'Hide Top Bar' Gnome extension

In a terminal type sudo pacman -Syu gnome-shell-extensions . After installation of the package go to the Gnome Shell Extensions webpage and install the browser extension. After this find the Hide Top Bar extension and install it.

You can enable or disable it in Gnome Tweaks .

From the firefox menu select the Customize option and remove the Gnome Shell icon from the Firefox toolbar.

Install zsh and oh-my-zsh

sudo pacman -Syu zsh git
chsh -s /bin/zsh

Log out and log back in. Run a terminal, then go to the oh-my-zsh webpage and follow the installation instructions there. Both curl and wget should be installed on your machine already, but it is already installed if you followed instructions.

In ~/.zshrc set ZSH_THEME="candy".

Gnome Terminal

Set color theme to 'Tango daek' and check the 'Show bold text in bright colors' toggle.

Install the Lesspass Firefox add-on

Night light

Default color temperature of the Night Light feature is 4000K, which is too much for my eyes. Set it to 5000K in Settings/Display/Night Light.

Add international keyboard layout

In Settings/Region & Language use the add method.

Keyboard shortcuts for dock items

Isn't it the default???

Make Dash to Dock to behave the PortOS way

  1. In extensions, enable Dash to Dock.
  2. In Dash to Dock settings, enable Intelligent autohide.
  3. In Dash to Dock settings, untick Panel mode: extend to screen edge.
  4. In Intelligent autohide settings, disable Autohide.
  5. In Intelligent autohide settings, disable Dodge windows.

Workspaces

Make workspaces span displays

See option in Tweaks/Workspaces.

Make app switcher only show windows in current workspaces

With dconf-editor set org.gnome.shell.app-switcher.current-workspace-only to true.

Disable conflicting keyboard shortcuts

In dconf-editor delete the <Control><Alt>... bindings from switch-to-workspace-.... This is unnecessary and conflicts with PortOS's design that dictates to map desktop related commands on .
