Install Terminal Emulator

Tilix

Add terminal emulator Tilix (old Terminix), by downloading and installing the package according to your distro.

Terminator

Alternatively you can install Terminator by running:

sudo apt-get install terminator

(you can easily remove the ugly red titlebar from preferences/profiles, by unchecking the "show titlebar" option)

Install Fonts

In order for the command line icons to work, you need a custom font. You can download Hack font from this repository (inside fonts folder) and install it, or you can choose another font from here. Nerd Fonts.

Configure the custom font inside Tilix or Terminator.

Terminal Color Palette

Change the colors of your terminal profile. You can find the hex codes below.

Other Settings

You can change other settings too, like the transparency of the window

Gnome Tweaks

First you need to install Gnome Tweaks in order to add and configure the shell extensions.

sudo apt-get install gnome-tweaks

Gnome Extensions

From POP!OS Store, you can install the Extension Manager in order to install some gnome extensions.

If you are not using POP!0S you don't need to install Extension Manager as there is a special tab in Gnome Tweaks to search and install gnome extensions.

Install the below gnome extensions and then customize the settings as you like with Gnome Tweaks or Extension Manager.

• Hide top bar
• Removable drive menu
• User Themes

Theme

SmoothDark

Download SmoothDark from this repository and add it to /usr/share/themes

git clone https://github.com/pankaryp/NeonGnome.git
cd NeonGnome
sudo mv SmoothDark /usr/share/themes

Dracula

Download using the GitHub .zip download option and extract the .zip file to the themes directory i.e. /usr/share/themes/ or ~/.themes/ (create it if necessary). Dracula GTK Theme.

To activate the theme in Gnome, run the following commands in Terminal:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme "Dracula"
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences theme "Dracula"

Icons

Pop Icons

(In Pop.os obviously pop icon theme is the default one,so you dont need to install it)

Install them by running:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:system76/pop
sudo apt update
sudo apt install pop-icon-theme

Cursor

Download and install Breeze Cursor Theme.

or via terminal

sudo apt-get update -y
sudo apt-get install -y breeze-cursor-theme

NOTE: All the above can be configured through Gnome Tweaks.

Folder Color

Download and install Folder Colors.

Install Oh-my-Zsh

Install Oh-my-Zsh.

# This requires curl, so first run:
sudo apt-get install curl

# Then install zsh
sudo apt-get install zsh

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh)"

There are some useful aliases inside .zshrc as well. You can check them out.

Spaceship Prompt

Clone this repo SpaceShip

git clone https://github.com/spaceship-prompt/spaceship-prompt.git "$ZSH_CUSTOM/themes/spaceship-prompt" --depth=1

Symlink spaceship.zsh-theme to your oh-my-zsh custom themes directory:

ln -s "$ZSH_CUSTOM/themes/spaceship-prompt/spaceship.zsh-theme" "$ZSH_CUSTOM/themes/spaceship.zsh-theme"

Set ZSH_THEME="spaceship" in your .zshrc.

Download the .zshrc configuration file from this repository and add it to your home directory (replacing the current .zshrc)

# Clone the repo, if you have not already done it.
git clone https://github.com/pankaryp/NeonGnome.git
cd NeonGnome
cd zsh-config
sudo rm /home/.zshrc && mv .zshrc /home

Spacechip prompt has tones of features like:

• Clever hostname and username displaying
• Current Git branch and rich repo status
• Indicator for jobs in the background
• Current Versions for a lot of supported programming languages

Vim

Install vim

sudo apt-get install vim

Install SpaceVim: At a minimum, SpaceVim requires git and curl to be installed. Both tools are needed for downloading plugins and fonts.

curl -sLf https://spacevim.org/install.sh | bash

Download the init.toml configuration file from this repository and add it to your home directory inside .SpaceVim.d (replacing the current init.toml)

# Clone the repo, if you have not already done it.
git clone https://github.com/pankaryp/NeonGnome.git
cd NeonGnome
cd space-vim
sudo rm /home/.SpaceVim.d/init.toml && mv init.toml /home/.SpaceVim.d

Ruby Gems

Add Colorls and Lolcat for extra awesomeness (requires Ruby)

# Install ruby
sudo apt-get install ruby-full

# Add colorls gem
sudo gem install colorls

# Add lolcat gem
sudo gem install lolcat

Customize colorls theme:

Replace the contents of dark_colors.yaml file inside $(dirname $(gem which colorls))/yaml with the contents of dark_colors.yaml file inside the colorls-theme folder.

git clone https://github.com/pankaryp/NeonGnome.git
cd NeonGnome
cd colorls-theme
sudo mv dark_colors.yaml $(dirname $(gem which colorls))/yaml
