Theme for AwesomeWM

Original design by PapyElGringo. Cloned from ChrisTitusTech/titus-awesome

This repo is designed to be compatible with AwesomeWM latest (4.3) and the git HEAD. I primarily use latest, so this may be undertested on HEAD. If you notice any issues, please create an issue or PR!

An almost desktop environment made with AwesomeWM with a performant opinionated keyboard workflow to increase daily productivity and comfort.

Installation

setup.lua

For convenience, a setup.lua script has been provided, simply clone the repository and run lua ./setup.lua to auto install dependencies and setup submodules. note: Gio is required. Installing awesome will install gio as a dependency. note: LGI is required. This may need to be installed manually.

> git clone 'https://github.com/aarondill/awesome' ~/.config/awesome
> pacman -S awesome lua-lgi # REPLACE WITH YOUR PACKAGE MANAGER
> cd ~/.config/awesome/ && ./setup.lua
> # run lxappearance to modify theme if so desired
