  • Adjusted to 96 pixels
  • Thank you @godlyfas for fixing this

• Fixing scripts

  • TouchPad.sh never expands $TOUCHPAD_ENABLED (and doesn’t source the file that defines it)
  • Volume.sh has multiple microphone-control bugs (bad pamixer arguments, typoed function name, invalid notification payloads) that break mic toggling and volume feedback.
  • DarkLight.sh wipes the Qt theme paths each run because the qt5ct/qt6ct palette variables are commented out.
  • KooLsDotsUpdate.sh contains a malformed notify-send string that crashes the script when no local version is detected.
  • Distro_update.sh runs sudo apt upgrade outside the kitty window, so the Debian/Ubuntu flow never finishes inside the terminal.
  • Hypridle.sh now launches hypridle in the background (& disown) when enabling the daemon, preventing the toggle command from hanging Waybar.
  • RofiSearch.sh verifies that jq is available, captures the user’s query explicitly, URL-encodes it via jq @uri,
    • opens the configured search engine with the encoded query instead of dropping the term.
  • Sounds.sh now tries pw-play, then paplay, then aplay, emitting a clear error if none are installed, so the script no longer calls the non-existent pa-play.
  • Tak0-Per-Window-Switch.sh now records the listener PID in `~/.cache/kb_layout_

December 2025

FIXES:

• Fixed: Opacity for vscode configured multiple times
• Fixed: Quickshell overview not working, error "Quickshell or AGS not installed"

  • That file isn't configured for overview
