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).

Notes

Only compatible with stable versions of Lua and Awesome (git/unstable versions are not supported).

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.
