===== 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 tag 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. Gallery -------- **Multicolor** copycatted from tip_ [liked so much --> compulsory personal version] .. image:: http://i.imgur.com/vBMn8C8.jpg **Powerarrow Darker** copycatted from romockee_ [his one was stuck at v3.4] .. image:: http://i.imgur.com/inRoOrg.png **Steamburn** copycatted from ok100_ [it was so cool, but only for dwm] .. image:: http://i.imgur.com/esHcVzj.jpg **Blackburn** .. image:: http://dotshare.it/public/images/uploads/553.png **Dremora** .. image:: http://dotshare.it/public/images/uploads/589.png **Rainbow** .. image:: http://i.imgur.com/Ae7hAsK.png **Holo** suggested by amouly_ .. image:: http://dotshare.it/public/images/uploads/621.png Notes -------- **Do not** use without reading and modifying according to your preferences and system specs. Vicious_ is required. 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.
