Beautiful & Aesthetic AwesomeWM Dotfiles with Animation! ✨

Welcome to my AwesomeWM configuration files! You might be here for looking my AwesomeWM configuration files? or looking for Linux Rice reference? feel free to steal anything from here but don't forget to give me credits :)

AwesomeWM is the most powerful window manager on Linux, Although it takes time and effort to configure it, but I'm very satisfied with the result. You're right! only this wm can satisfy me.

Idk why i do this things, i love it but ahhh nvm, anyway I do this because it's my hobby. If you like or are using these dotfiles you should stars this repo rn! So i'll be more enthusiastic to make other interesting things, Thank you! <3

Install needed fonts

You will need to install a few fonts (mainly icon fonts) in order for text and icons to be rendered properly.

Necessary fonts:
- Iosevka - here
- Icomoon - here
- Material - here
Once you download them and unpack them, place them into ~/.fonts or ~/.local/share/fonts.

Install my AwesomeWM configuration files

Clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/rxyhn/dotfiles.git
cd dotfiles

Copy config and binaries files

cp -r config/* ~/.config/
cp -r bin/* ~/.local/bin/
cp -r misc/. ~/

You have to add TODO_PATH in your env variable

export TODO_PATH="path/to/todo"

Configure stuff

The relevant files are inside your ~/.config/awesome directory.
- User preferences and default applications
  
  In rc.lua there is a Default Applications section where user preferences and default applications are defined. You should change those to your liking.
  
  Note: For the weather widgets to work, you will also need to create an account on openweathermap, get your key, look for your city ID, and set openweathermap_key and openweathermap_city_id accordingly.
Lastly, log out from your current desktop session and log in into AwesomeWM.
