16 A set of themes for the Awesome_ window manager, version 4.x.
18 See branches_ for previous versions.
23 The main purpose of this repository is to spread ready to use configurations, which can also serve as a cookbook for customisation.
25 A secondary aim is to add new themes only when they constitute different UI/UX designs.
32 - Autostart windowless processes
33 - Fast MPD and volume shortcuts (first time this trick has been used in Awesome)
34 - Shortcuts for copying to the clipboard, toggle wiboxes, widgets popups, screenshots capture, moving and magnifying clients
35 - Quake drop-down terminal
36 - Calendar with current day highlighted and months switch with a click/scroll
37 - Notifications for new mails, current song, volume level, hdd critical state, low battery
38 - OpenWeatherMap integration
39 - Net carrier status notifier
41 - DWM-like textual layoutbox
44 - No borders when there's only one visible client
45 - Freedesktop.org compliant menu and desktop icons
46 - Vi-like client focus
47 - Non-empty tag browsing
48 - On-the-fly useless gaps resize

100 $ mv -bv awesome-copycats/* ~/.config/awesome && rm -rf awesome-copycats
105 The modular structure allows to
108 * define startup processes
109 * change keybindings and layouts
110 * set client properties
115 * define wiboxes and screen settings
117 in ``theme.lua``, so that you just need to change ``chosen_theme`` variable in ``rc.lua`` to preserve your preferences *and* switch the theme, instead of having file redundancy.
119 Just do the following:
121 .. code-block:: shell
123 $ cd ~/.config/awesome
124 $ cp rc.lua.template rc.lua
126 Then, set the variable ``chosen_theme`` in ``rc.lua`` to your preferred theme, do your settings, and restart Awesome (``Mod4 + ctrl + r``).
128 To customize a theme, head over to ``themes/$chosen_theme/theme.lua``.
130 Otherwise, if you want to be synced with upstream, modify the theme path in ``rc.lua`` like this:
134 -beautiful.init(string.format("%s/.config/awesome/themes/%s/theme.lua", os.getenv("HOME"), chosen_theme))
135 +beautiful.init(string.format("%s/.config/awesome/themes/%s/theme-personal.lua", os.getenv("HOME"), chosen_theme))
137 then, copy ``theme.lua`` to ``theme-personal.lua`` and do your customizations there.
139 This way, you can safely ``git pull`` anytime.
144 Complements are provided by lain_ and freedesktop_. **Be sure** to satisfy their dependencies.
146 The fonts used in the screenshots are: Terminus_ (Multicolor, Powerarrow, Powerarrow Dark), Roboto_ (Holo, Vertex) and Tamsyn_ (other ones).
148 As taglist font, Blackburn and Dremora use Icons_, Vertex uses FontAwesome_: be sure to have bitmaps enabled if running under Debian or Ubuntu_.
150 Due the removal of support for bitmap fonts in Pango 1.44_, the current main font is Terminus (OTB version). Under Arch Linux, use ``community/terminus-font-otb``.
152 Every theme has a colorscheme_.
154 You can also configure the ``city_id`` in the following snippet in ``/.config/awesome/themes/<<CHOSEN_THEME>>/theme.lua`` to get the correct weather information (we suggest doing it in your ``theme-personal.lua``):
159 local weathericon = wibox.widget.imagebox(theme.widget_weather)
160 theme.weather = lain.widget.weather({
161 city_id = 2643743, -- placeholder (London)
162 notification_preset = { font = "Terminus 10", fg = theme.fg_normal },
163 weather_na_markup = markup.fontfg(theme.font, "#eca4c4", "N/A "),
164 settings = function()
165 descr = weather_now["weather"][1]["description"]:lower()
166 units = math.floor(weather_now["main"]["temp"])
167 widget:set_markup(markup.fontfg(theme.font, "#eca4c4", descr .. " @ " .. units .. "°C "))
171 You can find your ``city_id`` in city.list.json.gz_ after you extract it.
