Templating
Hyprland & Qtile: Included is a pywal configuration that changes the color scheme based on a randomly selected wallpaper. With the key binding SuperKey + Shift + w you can change the wallpaper. SuperKey + Ctrl + w opens rofi with a list of installed wallpapers for your individual selection. See also the .bashrc and the key bindings on Hyprland and Qtile for more alias definitions.
Hyprland: In addition, you can switch the Waybar Template with SUPER + CTRL + T or by pressing the "..." icon in Waybar. The templates are available in ~/dotfiles/waybar/themes. You can add your own personal themes into this folder. The script will read in the folder structure.
Qtile X11: In addition, you can switch between the Qtile status bar and Polybar with SUPER + SHIFT + S

Installation
To make it easy for you to get started with my dotfiles, here's a list of recommended next steps.

The script will try to create a backup from an older dotfiles installation.

Please note
In case you have issues with starting Waybar please make sure that only one xdg-desktop-portal-x is installed additionally to xdg-desktop-portal.
I had several issues with xdg-desktop-portal-wlr, Hyprland and Waybar. Please make sure that xdg-desktop-portal-wlr is uninstalled and xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland is installed.
