Notes
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
**Do not** use without reading and modifying according to your preferences and system specs.
|
|
|
|
If you happen to get any problem (startup, ``surface.lua``, ...), **be sure** to have ``lua`` and ``lua-lgi`` up to date.
|
|
|
|
Widgets are provided by vicious_.
|
|
|
|
Fonts are Terminus (Multicolor, Powerarrow Darker) and Tamsyn (other ones).
|
|
|
|
Blackburn and Dremora use Icons_: **if you're running Debian/Ubuntu**, be sure to have bitmaps enabled (1_ 2_).
|
|
|
|
Except Multicolor and Powerarrow Darker, every theme has a colorscheme_ and uses Yawn_.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Freedesktop menu in use is just an example: feel free to modify ``freedesktop/freedesktop.lua``.
|
|
|
|
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``.
|
|
|
|
Also be sure to set your music dir in ``scripts/mpdinfo``, and to have ``imagemagick`` and ``notify-send`` installed.
