See [branches](https://github.com/lcpz/awesome-copycats/branches) for
previous versions.

The main purpose of this repository is to spread ready to use

A secondary aim is to add new themes only when they constitute different
UI/UX designs.
# Features
- Modularity
- Autohide widgets
- Autostart windowless processes
- Fast MPD and volume shortcuts (first time this trick has been used
in Awesome)
- Shortcuts for copying to the clipboard, toggle wiboxes, widgets
popups, screenshots capture, moving and magnifying clients
- Quake drop-down terminal
- Calendar with current day highlighted and months switch with a
click/scroll
- Notifications for new mails, current song, volume level, hdd
critical state, low battery
- OpenWeatherMap integration
- Net carrier status notifier
- Symbolic tag names
- DWM-like textual layoutbox
- Cairo wibar
- Custom layouts
- No borders when there\'s only one visible client
- Freedesktop.org compliant menu and desktop icons
- Vi-like client focus
- Non-empty tag browsing
- On-the-fly useless gaps resize
- Dynamic tagging

# Installation
``` shell
[[ ! -d "~/.config/awesome" ]] && mkdir -p ~/.config/awesome && git clone --recurse-submodules --remote-submodules --depth 1 -j 2 https://github.com/SirHadrian/awesome-themes.git && mv -v awesome-themes/* ~/.config/awesome && rm -rf awesome-themes
```
# Usage
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 file redundancy.
Just do the following:
``` shell
$ 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 to `themes/$chosen_theme/theme.lua`.
Otherwise, if you want to be synced with upstream, modify the theme path
in `rc.lua` like this:
``` diff
-beautiful.init(string.format("%s/.config/awesome/themes/%s/theme.lua", os.getenv("HOME"), chosen_theme))
+beautiful.init(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.

For the weather widget to work install:
``` shell
$ wget -P ~/.config/awesome/ https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rxi/json.lua/master/json.lua
```
# Notes
Complements are provided by [lain](https://github.com/lcpz/lain) and
[freedesktop](https://github.com/lcpz/awesome-freedesktop). **Be sure**
to satisfy their
[dependencies](https://github.com/lcpz/lain/wiki#dependencies). In
particular, [mail](https://github.com/lcpz/lain/wiki/mail) and
[weather](https://github.com/lcpz/lain/wiki/weather) widgets have
**mandatory** arguments.
The fonts used in the screenshots are:
[Terminus](http://terminus-font.sourceforge.net) (Multicolor,
Powerarrow, Powerarrow Dark),
[Roboto](https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Roboto) (Holo, Vertex) and
[Tamzen](https://github.com/sunaku/tamzen-font) (other ones).
As taglist font, Blackburn and Dremora use
[Icons](https://github.com/lcpz/dots/tree/master/.fonts), Vertex uses
[FontAwesome](https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome): be sure to
have bitmaps enabled if running under Debian or
[Ubuntu](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fonts#Enabling_Bitmapped_Fonts).
Every theme has a
[colorscheme](https://github.com/lcpz/dots/tree/master/.colors).
