AwesomeWM

AwesomeWM config (4+) and -widgets.
This is a "wrapper" around awesome-copycats. It uses copycats themes but modifies the wibar on its own (such that one has exactly the same features in all themes). Switching between themes is as easy as two clicks.

Variables

Configuration variables are set in the config.lua. In principle it is possible to configure everything there without hassle with the rc.lua.

Theme switch

There are a lot of awesome themes, changing the theme path by hand to see how they look/feel is rather annoying... When cloning this repo with --recursive you get a lot of themes and you are able to change/try them with the awesome menu.
The name of the used theme is saved in the file ~/config/awesome"/themeswitch, you can change it with the menu (which also restarts awesome) or set it by hand.

Screenshots

are saved to ~/Screenshots. By default import -frame DATE (from imagemagick package) is used.
Shortkey is Print.

XDG menu

On Archlinux install pacman -S archlinux-xdg-menu. It then generates an Application menu on every awesome start (saved in xdgmenu.lua). Other distros may change the gen_xdg_menu_file=/etc/xdg/menus/arch-applications.menu path. For more information see the archlinux xdg-menu wiki article.

Shutdown dialog

Using the shutdown/logout/suspend/reboot buttons from the awesome menu spawns a naugthy notification. To confirm the command left-click on the notification, otherwise it will vanish afert 5 seconds.
