# Purpose

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.

# 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.
