Installation
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
Using git you can have the full master branch: ::
|
|
|
|
git clone --recursive https://github.com/copycat-killer/awesome-copycats.git
|
|
|
|
then, move the contents of `awesome-copycats` to `~/.config/awesome`.
|
|
|
|
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 customize your ``rc.lua`` and restart Awesome (``Mod4 + ctrl + r``).
|
|
|
|
