Awesomight - Tokyo Night based AwesomeWM

Awesome is a highly configurable, tiling window manager for X. It is very fast, extensible and licensed under the GNU GPLv2 license. Awesome is a perfect "first" tiling window manager for those who want to try out tiling, but the extreme customization that you can achieve with awesome makes it a power user's dream. Awesome is configured with Lua.

Features

Simple enough for beginner's but flexible enough for the power user.
Extremely customizable, maybe more so than any other window manager.
Configured in Lua.
A documented API to configure and define the behavior of your window manager.

Installation

sudo pacman -S awesome dmenu rofi firefox kitty pasystray volumeicon

paru -S i3lock-fancy-git picom-ibhagwan-git thunar-extended

Additional tools for Customizing it.

sudo pacman -S lxappearance nitrogen

For Fonts Im using Terminus

sudo pacman -S terminus-font

paru -S consolas-font

The MODKEY is set to the Super key (aka the Windows key). I try to keep the keybindings consistent with all of my window managers.
