Awesome WM Copycats
|
|
=====
|
|
A collection of power themes for Awesome WM 3.5+
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
Beware! They're more awesome than they appear, it's just they're shy.
|
|
|
|
Notable features:
|
|
|
|
- Autohide widgets (*tell me only when you have to*)
|
|
- Autostart functionality
|
|
- Fast mpd and volume shortcuts (first time you see this trick in Awesome)
|
|
- Other fancy shortcuts for copying to the clipboard (goodbye clipboard managers!), toggle wiboxes, widgets popups, screenshots capture, moving clients
|
|
- Quake style dropdown terminal
|
|
- Calendar with current day highlighted and previous/next month switch with a click
|
|
- Elegant notifications for new mails, current song, volume level, hdd critical state, low battery
|
|
- Yahoo Weather integration
|
|
- Net carrier status notifier
|
|
- Full localization potential (just easily edit a few lines - look for 'stub' keywords)
|
|
- Colorful autoupdating icons
|
|
- Symbolic tag names
|
|
- TXT layouts
|
|
- PNG taskbar
|
|
- No borders when there's only one visible client
|
|
- Powerful volume bar
|
|
- Freedesktop menu
|
|
- By direction client focus (like in bspwm)
|
|
|
|
They're scattered all over the set, so try each theme and choose the one you enjoy the most.

Notes
|
|
--------
|
|
**Do not** use without reading and modifying according to your preferences and system specs.
|
|
|
|
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``.
|
|
|
|
Instead, if you happen to get any ``surface.lua`` problem, be sure to have ``lua`` and ``lua-lgi`` up to date.
|
|
|
|
Also be sure to set your music dir in ``scripts/mpdinfo``, and to have ``imagemagick`` and ``notify-send`` installed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Have any suggestions?** Did you see some great stuff and you'd like me to put my paws on it? Then tell me! It might just be the next copycat.
