Massive configuration overhaul
Currently paying the price of months of non-diligent git usage.

Here's what has changed.

- Theming support in Gvcci and wpgtk
- Dropping support for i3
- Supporting EXWM
- Many Elisp modules
- Collapsed redundant directories in ./configs

-1. Install shared executables

-Some files should be kept out of this repository. Things that come to mind

-Secrets should be kept out of this repository in case. It might be okay to
-include them herein since they should be encrypted. But just to add an
-additional layer of security, I avoid adding them.
-
-Executables are kept out of version control since they can be quite large. For
-example, my `/usr/bin` is `8.9G` at the time of this writing. Also it can be
-noisy to see diffs of binaries after upgrading programs.
-
-While sharing binaries across systems feels brittle, everything should function
-as long as the machines across which the binaries are shared run Linux and have
-i386 architectures.

-## True Color and Italics
 
-At the time of this writing, Suckless's `st` terminal provides True Color and
-italics support. It's also important to test that this support remains when
-inside of Vim or inside of a Tmux session or both.
+## Terminals and Fonts
 
-### TrueColor
-
-To test for your terminal's True Color support, run:
+Any terminal or font I choose should pass the following checks:
 
 ```bash
 $ test_true_color
-```
-
-Enable TrueColor in your `init.vim` (already done in this repository):
-
-```viml
-set termguicolors
-```
-
-### Italics
-
-To test if your terminal supports italics and other text treatments, run:
-
-```bash
+$ test_16_colors
 $ test_text_formatting
+$ test_unicode
+$ test_emojis
 ```
 
 ### Ligatures
 
-At the time of this writing, Suckless's `st` does not appear to support
-ligatures.
-
-
-## Miscellaneous notes
-* Executables are shared at `~/Dropbox/bin` and not kept within this repository
-  to avoid the bloat.
-* Map `<CAPS_LOCK>` key to `<ESC>`
-* Increase key-repeat rate
-* Decrease key-repeat-delay
-* Increase mouse speed
+If using a font with ligature (e.g. Hasklig) assert that your terminal also support ligatures.
