Installation
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: shell
|
|
|
|
$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/lcpz/awesome-copycats.git
|
|
$ mv -bv awesome-copycats/* ~/.config/awesome; rm -rf awesome-copycats
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: 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 ``theme_path`` variable in ``rc.lua`` like this:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: diff
|
|
|
|
-local theme_path = string.format("%s/.config/awesome/themes/%s/theme.lua", os.getenv("HOME"), chosen_theme)
|
|
+local theme_path = 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.
|
