Installation
============
2013-12-24 11:53:43 +00:00
Using git you can have the full master branch: ::
2013-09-13 20:14:37 +00:00
2013-09-13 19:58:52 +00:00
git clone https://github.com/copycat-killer/awesome-copycats.git
2014-04-12 16:02:00 +00:00
mv awesome-copycats/* ~/.config/awesome; rmdir awesome-copycats
2013-10-25 17:04:37 +00:00
cd ~/.config/awesome
2014-08-07 10:21:47 +00:00
git submodule update --init
2013-09-13 19:58:52 +00:00
2013-12-24 11:53:43 +00:00
This may take some time.
Otherwise, download the latest two masters of `` awesome-copycats `` and `` lain `` (1_ and 2_), extract the first one, extract the second one into the first one, and put the contents of the first one into your Awesome directory.

Usage
=====
2013-09-13 20:14:37 +00:00
Switch a theme this way: ::
2013-09-13 19:58:52 +00:00
cd ~/.config/awesome
2013-09-13 20:22:54 +00:00
cp rc.lua.theme rc.lua
2013-09-13 19:58:52 +00:00
2014-04-12 16:06:10 +00:00
Alternatively, you can use `switch-theme.sh`_ , which will also update to the latest commit.
2014-04-12 16:02:00 +00:00
2014-04-12 16:08:25 +00:00
Then, eventually customize your `` rc.lua `` , and restart Awesome (`` Mod4 + ctrl + r `` ).
