Awesomight - Tokyo Night based AwesomeWM

Awesome is a highly configurable, tiling window manager for X. It is very fast, extensible and licensed under the GNU GPLv2 license. Awesome is a perfect "first" tiling window manager for those who want to try out tiling, but the extreme customization that you can achieve with awesome makes it a power user's dream. Awesome is configured with Lua.

Features

  • Simple enough for beginner's but flexible enough for the power user.
  • Extremely customizable, maybe more so than any other window manager.
  • Configured in Lua.
  • A documented API to configure and define the behavior of your window manager.

Installation

sudo pacman -S awesome dmenu rofi firefox kitty pasystray volumeicon
paru -S i3lock-fancy-git picom-ibhagwan-git thunar-extended

Additional tools for Customizing it.

sudo pacman -S lxappearance nitrogen
  • For Fonts Im using Terminus
sudo pacman -S terminus-font 
paru -S consolas-font

My Keybindings

The MODKEY is set to the Super key (aka the Windows key). I try to keep the keybindings consistent with all of my window managers.

MODKEY + RETURN opens terminal (Kitty is the terminal but can be easily changed)
MODKEY + x opens run launcher (rofi (random) is the run launcher but can be easily changed)
