Ricing Ben 10-inspired Kitty terminal setup on Linux 👽 — Omnitrix themes and Fastfetch

I've been customizing my Linux terminal and ended up building something inspired by Ben 10.

Ben 10 Terminal changes the look of Kitty using alien-themed color palettes and displays randomized alien artwork through Fastfetch. It also includes a ben10 command to switch themes manually.

Features:

  • 30+ alien artworks
  • 46 Kitty color themes
  • Automatic random selection at startup
  • Installer and uninstaller

It's built around Kitty + Zsh, so the terminal customization isn't specific to Hyprland and may be useful to people running Sway too.

I'd be interested to hear what Sway users think of the setup and whether there's anything you'd improve.

Script a script for switching focus to next window on workspace switch hotkey

I wanted a bit different behavior for 'mod+(number)' keys - so if I call it for current workspace it would cycle through windows in it. But I haven't found a swaymsg command for it. So wrote a simple script. Maybe it would be useful for others too

https://codeberg.org/akomis/dotfiles/src/branch/main/bin/sway/workspace_focus.sh

binded it instead of 'workspace number' command: bindsym --to-code $mod+1 exec $sway_scripts/workspace_focus.sh 1
