switch variant

Make sure you've updated this repo in your local machine, you can see the available branches of variants by using git branch command.

git branch -a

For example, if you want to use the e6 variant, simply use this:

git checkout e6

troubleshooting

I have another version of picom.

Simply remove that version and install the ibhagwan's version. Kill the process (pkill picom) before do this. If you're in Arch simply do yay -R picom and then yay -S picom-ibhagwan-git.

It looks different on my screen...

If you have any problem installing the dotfiles, open an issue and don't forget to provide logs and your machine info (use neofetch or similar), you can provide screenshots if needed!
