HiDPI fix for Awesome WM [Arch-Linux-MBP11.x]

Introduction

HiDPI (High Dots Per Inch) displays, also known by Apple's "Retina Display" marketing name, are screens with a high resolution in a relatively small format. They are mostly found in high-end laptops and monitors. Not all software behaves well in high-resolution mode yet.

This repo consists xinit and Awesome WM theme files to provide a HiDPI fix for the Retina MacBook running on Arch.
