VHS dotfiles

My little AwesomeWM configuration. Riddled with copyright law breaches. The main attraction is probably my DBus global menu (src/appmenu/). I struggle to document anything but if you want to steal any of my code, go ahead.

Details

• Font: Inter
• Compositor: Picom
• GTK Theme: Materia-theme-transparent
• Icons: WhiteSur-dark
• Cursor: LiOS V
• Firefox CSS: BlurredFox with this fix
• Terminal: xfce4-terminal
• File Manager: Thunar
• Rofi Theme: adi1090x's rofi (type 3, style 1)

Installing

# Pull submodules
git submodule update --init --recursive

# Copy the default configuration and modify as seen fit
cp config_example.lua config.lua
vim config.lua

# Build the appmenu server (only if you want global menus)
echo $(cd src/appmenu/server; make)

Dependencies

Required

• awesome (window manager)

Optional

Stolen Code

• widgets/exit_menu.lua is lifted from manilarome/the-glorious-dotfiles
• widgets/components/client_preview.lua is improved from this Reddit Thread
• client/restore.lua is modified from this Reddit thread
• appmenu/server wouldn't have been possible without fbuihuu/samples-dbus
• A lot of the icons are stolen from ionicons - I plan to do this in a legal manner soon™
