[macOS] Homebrew & Neofetch

First install Hoembrew, a package manager for macOS.

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

With this package manager installed, further software installation is pretty easy. For Neofetch just use:

brew install neofetch

[Linux Mint] Install PyWal on Linux Mint 19.2 Cinnamon

 , , ,

“Pywal is a tool that generates a color palette from the dominant colors in an image. It then applies the colors system-wide and on-the-fly in all of your favourite programs.”
For the installation, look at GitHub. In my case, I had to run the following command:

sudo apt purge python3-pip && sudo apt install --install-recommends python3-pip && pip3 install pywal

To get an overview of your PyWal installation, run:

pip3 show pywal

Test it with:

wal -v

If it returns “zsh: command not found: pywal” you have to add the PIP install directory to your path

export PATH="${PATH}:${HOME}/.local/bin/"

To use PyWal, just run it with wal -i and the path to an image.

wal -i /path/to/image.jpg

[Firefox] ShadowFox + Add-Ons

 , , ,

Since the Dark Theme in Firefox 68.0.2 still has a flashing white page when opening a new tab, it’s no useable dark theme in my opinion.
That’s why I prefer ShadowFox (Github) instead of the native dark theme. Easy to install and many ways to do further customizing.

Firefox Add-ons I use:

Also, I like bookmarks in the toolbar centralized. Just append the following lines to the userChrome.css.
The file is placed in your Firefox Profile: ~/.mozilla/firefox/profile_name/chrome/userChrome.css

#PersonalToolbar {
  display: flex !important;
  justify-content: center !important;
}
