awesome-copycats VS rubato

Not sure how I can start applications in /etc/xdg/autostart/ in awesomeWM. Have this in my rc.lua (from lcpz/awesome-copycats rc.lua.template): awful.spawn.with_shell(

I wouldn't pick a distro based on this. If you want a pre-config check out awesomewm-copycats

I'm working from a theme from here: https://github.com/lcpz/awesome-copycats/tree/master/themes that I've tweaked a little bit. So there are two files involved:

You can look at the docs for awful.wibar to see all of the options, and have a look at some example configs like awesome-copycats to see what's possible and actual examples of how the wibar options are used.

https://github.com/lcpz/awesome-copycats Powerline-Dark is the theme used here.

Start exploring official documentation, there is section about default configuration. You can also take a look at existing themes like awesome-copycats or manilaromes glorious dotfiles and see how they do things and start experimenting.

Hi, I've been using awesome for some months already, most of the confix coming from https://github.com/lcpz/awesome-copycats.

My config is mostly based on awesome-copycats with some custom additions.

I wrote a wrapper for rubato to provide a similar API to replace c:geometry(geo).

As far as compositing and animating, Awesome itself is NOT a compositor. You will need a separate compositor like picom for things like shadows, background blur, and true transparency. There are forks of picom that also implement window animations but I have not personally tried them. Simple animations can be implemented in Awesome with libraries like rubato or awestore but it's a fairly manual process of changing a window's x and/or y coordinates on a regular interval.
