dotfiles & terminal rig

My desktop is Fedora 44 with Hyprland. Kitty, zsh, tmux, and mvim are where I spend most of my time.

The configs live in .maya-dotfiles . The editor has its own repo: maya-nvim .

what’s running

Tool	My setup
Desktop	Hyprland on Wayland, with Waybar
Terminal	Kitty, Fantasque Sans Mono Nerd Font, and a notebook background
Shell	zsh, with tmux for terminal sessions
Launcher	Maya Rofi by default; Wofi is an optional alternative
Editor	mvim, launched separately from other Neovim setups
Editor theme	Melange, with a transparent background
Desktop colors	Maya Light and Dark, generated from a shared palette

my editor config

The core lives in ~/maya-nvim/. My personal settings live in ~/.config/mvim/init.lua, which is also tracked with my dotfiles.

This is the part that connects the editor to the desktop. It’s an excerpt from my personal config; mvim.desktop_theme is a personal module included in the dotfiles, not a Neovim built-in.

~/.config/mvim/init.lua


local desktop_theme = require("mvim.desktop_theme")
 
return {
  codex_ide_context = true,
  transparent_background = true,
  reopen_tabs = true,
  pokemon_sound_on_start = true,
  pokemon_sound_on_start_volume_percentage = 50,
  theme = "savq/melange-nvim",
  theme_background = desktop_theme.mode(),
  setup = function()
    desktop_theme.setup()
  end,
}

maya-nvim ships with Catppuccin Frappé. My personal choice is Melange. Keeping that distinction in the config means someone can use mvim without inheriting every little thing I like.

one switch for Light and Dark


maya-theme light
maya-theme dark
maya-theme toggle
maya-theme status

The selected profile lives behind ~/.config/maya-theme/current. The desktop tools follow that link. My editor watcher reads the same selection and changes the light/dark variant of Melange. It doesn’t copy the desktop colors into Neovim.

The wallpaper stays as it is. Some apps reload immediately; others pick up the colors the next time they open.

notes from the repos

Both repos are works in progress. The READMEs have the installation steps and current options.
