Installation
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
Using git you can have the full master branch: ::
|
|
|
|
git clone https://github.com/copycat-killer/awesome-copycats.git
|
|
mv awesome-copycats/* ~/.config/awesome; rmdir awesome-copycats
|
|
cd ~/.config/awesome
|
|
git submodule update --init
|
|
|
|
This may take some time.
|
|
|
|
Otherwise, download the latest two masters of ``awesome-copycats`` and ``lain`` (1_ and 2_), extract the first one, extract the second one into the first one, and put the contents of the first one into your Awesome directory.
|
|
|
|
Usage
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
Switch a theme this way: ::
|
|
|
|
cd ~/.config/awesome
|
|
cp rc.lua.theme rc.lua
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can use `switch-theme.sh`_, which will also update to the latest commit.
|
|
|
|
Then, eventually customize your ``rc.lua``, and restart Awesome (``Mod4 + ctrl + r``).
|
|
|
|
Notes
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
Be sure to have the latest versions of Lua, Lua-lgi, and Awesome.
|
|
|
|
Complements are provided by lain_: be sure to meet its dependencies_.
|
|
|
|
Fonts are Terminus_ (Multicolor, Powerarrow Darker) and Tamsyn_ (other ones).
|
|
|
|
Every theme has a colorscheme_.
|
|
|
|
Blackburn and Dremora use Icons_: be sure to have bitmaps enabled if running under Debian_ or Ubuntu_.
|
|
|
|
Freedesktop uses ``/etc/mime.types``, so be sure to have MIME support installed.
|
|
|
|
Eminent, freedesktop and scratchdrop are third-party softwares: **either disable them or rely on their creators if they cause you** slowdowns_ **or** issues_ **.**
