Use theme with AwesomeWm

Open rainer2208 opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

Hi, I would very much like to use these themes with AwesomeWm, but I can't find any instructions.

I am on Arch.

How can I do so?

Many thanks.

After installing the theme, you should open the .config/awesome/rc.lua file and go to the place with globalkeys At the end there will be something like

awful.key({ modkey }, "p", function() menubar.show() end,
              {description = "show the menubar", group = "launcher"})

Replace this with

awful.key({ modkey }, "p", function() 
   os.execute('~/.config/rofi/bin/launcher_misc') 
end)

Where launcher_misc is any other file in the bin directory To select a specific theme, open the selected file (for example launcher_misc): theme="${themes[8]}"

I'm not sure that this is the right way, but for me it turned out to be working
