Best way to tweak settings without breaking updates?
Hi there - pretty slick setup here. Few questions:
- Is there a recommended way to make changes to the setup that will not break future updates? (theme - I assume I can just copy one, and tweak as wanted, then load)
- What is the proper way to update?
git pull
and run the script again? - I'm having a hard time finding where to make changes (in a safe way) to the bar. I simply want a bar on each monitor with the appropriate workspace number represented there. Current config always makes me look around to find my windows when cycling through.
Thank you in advance.
Hi there, just a friendly follow up ping. 👍
Hello sir! Sorry for not responding earlier, I am not checking on github/repos too often those days.
So to answer your questions:
-
Yes, you are right, you can straight up change what you don't like on the theme config file and reload it, it should apply straight forward.
-
Yes,
git pull
(although there are not many updates for the past year or so :P) -
Normally I would just save the current config that works for me somewhere for security, and then mostly trial and error - for all the tests I have done there are only a few changes that could cause problems, so I don't expect that you would encounter one.
Generally if you have any suggestion/update/fix to make, it's always welcome. I am more than happy with people contributing even the smallest change ;)
Thanks for the info! I'll play around. Appreciate your time.
