Notes
--------
2013-08-28 14:43:13 +00:00
2013-05-03 09:28:25 +00:00
**Do not** use without reading and modifying according to your preferences and system specs.
2013-04-22 11:48:43 +00:00
2013-08-28 14:43:13 +00:00
Widgets are provided by vicious_.
2013-08-19 21:16:19 +00:00
2013-07-26 21:15:01 +00:00
Fonts are Terminus (Multicolor, Powerarrow Darker) and Tamsyn (other ones).
2013-04-22 11:48:43 +00:00
2013-07-26 21:41:48 +00:00
Blackburn and Dremora use Icons_: **if you're running Debian/Ubuntu**, be sure to have bitmaps enabled (1_ 2_).
2013-04-22 13:59:50 +00:00
2013-07-26 21:41:48 +00:00
Except Multicolor and Powerarrow Darker, every theme has a colorscheme_ and uses Yawn_.
2013-04-22 11:48:43 +00:00
2013-08-15 17:21:17 +00:00
Blackburn and Holo use png topbars, supported screen widths are:
1024
1152
1280
1366
1440
1600
1680
1920
2560
if your screen is unsupported, you have to create a proper topbar and put it into ``themes/$THEME/icons/topbar``. You can send me your custom sized bar, I'll add it.
2013-08-04 21:39:49 +00:00
Freedesktop menu in use is just an example: feel free to modify ``freedesktop/freedesktop.lua``.
2013-08-15 17:21:17 +00:00
If you happen to get an error involving ``/home fs widget``, replace every occurrence of ``/home`` with ``/``, or some other argument defined in vicious readme_, section ``vicious.widgets.fs``.
2013-08-12 18:31:52 +00:00
Instead, if you happen to get any ``surface.lua`` problem, be sure to have ``lua`` and ``lua-lgi`` up to date.
Also be sure to set your music dir in ``scripts/mpdinfo``, and to have ``imagemagick`` and ``notify-send`` installed.
**Have any suggestions?** Did you see some great stuff and you'd like me to put my paws on it? Then tell me! It might just be the next copycat.
