Dotfiles of my AwesomeWM configuration

this only includes the most basic files to replicate my setup, such as

• configs for awesome
• configs for alacritty
• configs for rofi (straight-up stolen from here)
• an edited version of pijulius' picom fork
• configs for polybar
• spicetify (still wip)

Important

before using any of the files, make sure to have at least the most necessary software installed, unless you know what you're doing:

cloning this repo:

git clone https://github.com/notAxon/awesome-dots/ && cd awesome-dots

basic stuff:

awesome rofi polybar alacritty nemo amixer ksnip

optional stuff:

nitrogen neovim lxappearance

all folders inside belongs_in_config belong, as the name implies, in the .config folder inside your /home directory.

cp -r /belongs_in_config/* $HOME/.config

the fonts should be copied into /usr/share/fonts/ for them to work properly, as they are required by alacritty and polybar

sudo cp -r /used\ fonts/*.ttf /usr/share/fonts/

the GTK files are to be copied into $/HOME/.themes and /$HOME/.icons

unzip /gtk/.themes.tar.gz /$HOME/.themes unzip /gtk/.icons.tar.gz /$HOME/.icons

the fancy-looking terminal programs I adore:

• moc (music on console), with darkdot theme (available through most package-managers)
• pipes.sh
• cava
• neofetch (no instructions necessary)

Notes related to Polybar

this polybar config is divided into 5 subfolders:

1. /bar-configs includes individual files each defining a different bar. to use another bar than two-top (shown in the second screenshot), edit /awesome/rc.lua.

2. /modules contains all modules

3. /launch-bars include executable scripts that launch the individual bars, the preferred bar can be selected in awesomeWMs rc.lua

4. /colorschemes contains all colorschemes aswell as default-color, the only file being loaded by polybar. by default, this file is a renamed copy of the catppuccin file, to apply a different theme, delete default-colors before copying and renaming another theme, such as everforest.

5. scripts contains the scripts, obviously
