Just do the following: .. code-block:: 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 ``themes/$chosen_theme/theme.lua``. Otherwise, if you want to be synced with upstream, modify ``theme_path`` variable in ``rc.lua`` like this: .. code-block:: diff -local theme_path = string.format("%s/.config/awesome/themes/%s/theme.lua", os.getenv("HOME"), chosen_theme) +local theme_path = 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. Notes ===== Complements are provided by lain_ and freedesktop_.
