Old style files

Greetings to all.
I used ArchLabs in 2018 and I loved the default theme.
Like every Linux user, I’ve moved through other distros and now I want to go back to the distro, but I realize that the styles are different.
I’ve tried looking for the old styles, specifically for ZSH and Polybar, but I haven’t found them in the repositories.
I tried to install the 2018 version but I couldn’t install it because it doesn’t accept the network.
I know a lot has changed since 2018 but I know I can update the code.

I would like to obtain those files, I leave the images in case someone has them:


Thank you very much in advance.

I forgot to add that I look for the i3 styles

Welcome aboard @zavden

Wonder if you copy can those files wanted & install them in your newer install iso.

Thanks for your answer!

Where can I find it?
I opened the ISO and searched but couldn’t find it:

Oh, some other members might give you a hand, some might have them stored somehow also.

It might be in the /usr folder.

Can t help you on this part sorry.

Thank you!

There is no such folder in the ISO, I tried looking for it in bitbucket but I couldn’t find the specific commit.

This is what is in the ISO:

Gee, that sux, I never checked for those, but some other members can be of some help, just be patient , some might check your thread.

Thank you! I will wait.

Just saw that in that thread; It ,might not be related, but it can help you find those ;


pacman -Qqen > pkglist.txt

It might help you find the packages that you want;

The problem is that while I can get into the SHELL on the ISO, I can’t get the information out, I can’t install git because it doesn’t access the internet, and I can’t mount another USB.
The only way is to copy the source code manually (typing it), but they are long files, and there is only the ZSH config, the polybar one is missing.

Oh, that s something different. That sux.

Maybe some mods & members will show up in order to help you out.

@zavden you may find those older themes here

https://bitbucket.org/archlabslinux/themes/src/master/

I can’t remember if we kept them as an archive or not though so it may be a hit and miss.

They are definitely gone, as of previous release.

Ok, I understand, thank you very much anyway.

It’s probably pretty easy to replicate. Just edit the current i3 bar config at the bottom of the i3 config.

Use Gpick to colour pick the colours. The only think I can’t remeber is the shade of blue we used for highlighting. I’ll look through my old dots and see if I can find it.

EDIT:

Found it, #8FA1B3.

Yes, it’s just that I’m a little lazy to do everything from scratch, the animations of the processors, the temperature, the positions and icons.
But hey, I’ll have to do it from scratch, no way.
Thanks again.
