Installation

• My setup is using the dependencies below, you can change stuff as you wise, if you want more minimal setup you are welcome to use the dependencies.
  • awesome (window manager framework)
  • rofi (application launcher)
  • blueman (bluetooth widgets)
  • xfce4-power-manager (power widget)
  • xbacklight (adjust backlight brightness)

  • xdg-menu (generates app list)
  • flameshot (screenshots)
• Copy the files to $HOME/.config/awesome/
• Reload Awesome using Super + shift + r

File Structure

This setup is split in multiple parts:

• rc.lua the core of configuration. You can enable and disable the modules here and load all your configurations.
• The layout directory contains the panel configurations. Change panel settings here or load/unload widgets.
• In configuration directory you can find all the configs about the key bindings, client rules, tags, starting apps and etc.
• The module consists of many files that are usually inside the rc.lua like notifications, app menus, etc. You can load them in the rc.lua.
• The themes folder contains themes and colors of the setup.
• The widgets contains all the widgets(of course). These are used in the panels and dashboard. It contains thenotification center, side panel(including music, calculator, weather, brightness, and volume widgets) widgets and many more.

Where to edit this and that?

NOTE

• This setup will not mostly work out of the box because:

  • Some dependencies are not currently installed
• Check keybindings using Super + F1

ABOUT WIDGETS AND MODULES

• You can disable the dialog backdrop effect in awesome/configuration/client/rules.lua. Just search for dialog and set drawBackdrop to false in the properties. You can also just unload the module in rc.lua.
