Notes
--------
2013-05-03 11:28:25 +02:00
**Do not** use without reading and modifying according to your preferences and system specs.
2013-04-22 13:48:43 +02:00
2013-08-21 23:02:39 +02:00
Widgets are from vicious_ repository.
2013-08-19 23:16:19 +02:00
2013-07-26 23:15:01 +02:00
Fonts are Terminus (Multicolor, Powerarrow Darker) and Tamsyn (other ones).
2013-04-22 13:48:43 +02:00
2013-07-26 23:41:48 +02:00
Blackburn and Dremora use Icons_: **if you're running Debian/Ubuntu** , be sure to have bitmaps enabled (1_ 2_).
2013-04-22 15:59:50 +02:00
2013-07-26 23:41:48 +02:00
Except Multicolor and Powerarrow Darker, every theme has a colorscheme_ and uses Yawn_.
2013-04-22 13:48:43 +02:00
2013-08-15 19:21:17 +02:00
Blackburn and Holo use png topbars, supported screen widths are:
2013-08-03 17:00:17 +02:00
1024
1152
1280
1366
1440
1600
1680
1920
2560
2013-08-19 20:07:15 +02:00
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.
2013-08-03 17:00:17 +02:00
2013-08-04 23:39:49 +02:00
Freedesktop menu in use is just an example: feel free to modify `` freedesktop/freedesktop.lua `` .
2013-08-15 19:21:17 +02:00
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 `` .
2013-08-12 20:31:52 +02:00
2013-08-19 20:07:15 +02:00
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.
