Andre Klärner 295abc5079 remove useless invocations of awful.client.moveresize()
in most themes this is not required - changing the border_size will
reposition the window to accompany the changed total size.

Also the useless resizes do hurt terminals if some of the "window size
changed" events got lost or garbeled. Also some reported lags (awesome
bug FS#1181 - Clients resize lag).

Installation
============

Using git you can have the full master branch: ::

    git clone https://github.com/copycat-killer/awesome-copycats.git
    mv awesome-copycats/* ~/.config/awesome; rmdir awesome-copycats
    cd ~/.config/awesome
    git submodule init
    git submodule update

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
=====

Switch a theme this way: ::

    cd ~/.config/awesome
    cp rc.lua.theme rc.lua

Alternatively, you can use `switch-theme.sh`_, which will also update to the latest commit.

Then, eventually customize your ``rc.lua``, and restart Awesome (``Mod4 + ctrl + r``).

Notes
=====

Be sure to have the latest versions of Lua, Lua-lgi, and Awesome.

Complements are provided by lain_: be sure to meet its dependencies_.

Fonts are Terminus_ (Multicolor, Powerarrow Darker) and Tamsyn_ (other ones).

Every theme has a colorscheme_.

Blackburn and Dremora use Icons_: be sure to have bitmaps enabled if running under Debian_ or Ubuntu_.

Freedesktop uses ``/etc/mime.types``, so be sure to have MIME support installed.

Eminent, freedesktop and scratchdrop are third-party softwares: **either disable them or rely on their creators if they cause you** slowdowns_ **or** issues_ **.**

Feel free to email me if you have any request.
