$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/copycat-killer/awesome-copycats.git
$ mv -bv awesome-copycats/* ~/.config/awesome; rm -r awesome-copycats
The modular structure allows to
- set variables
- define startup processes
- change keybindings and layouts
- set client properties
in rc.lua
, and
- configure widgets
- define wiboxes and screen settings
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 N different rc.lua
full of redundancy.
Just do the following:
$ cd ~/.config/awesome
$ cp rc.lua.template rc.lua
Then, set the variable chosen_theme
in rc.lua
to your preferred theme, do your settings, and restart Awesome (Mod4 + ctrl + r
).
To customize a theme, head over themes/$chosen_theme/theme.lua
.
Otherwise, if you want to be synced with upstream, modify theme_path
variable in rc.lua
like this:
-local theme_path = string.format("%s/.config/awesome/themes/%s/theme.lua", os.getenv("HOME"), chosen_theme)
+local theme_path = string.format("%s/.config/awesome/themes/%s/theme-personal.lua", os.getenv("HOME"), chosen_theme)
then, copy theme.lua
to theme-personal.lua
and do your customizations there.
This way, you can safely git pull
anytime.
Complements are provided by lain and freedesktop.
Fonts are Terminus (Multicolor, Powerarrow Darker), Tamzen (Copland), Roboto (Holo, Vertex) and Tamsyn (other ones).
Every theme has a colorscheme.
Blackburn and Dremora use Icons, Vertex uses FontAwesome: be sure to have bitmaps enabled if running under Debian or Ubuntu.
