BeAwesome is a set of various widgets and variables to replicate the look and feel of BeOS and Haiku operating systems.
The documentation can be found here.
This software can be installed via 3 methods:
LuaRocks
BeAwesome is available in the LuaRocks repository. To install, use the following command:
luarocks install bawesome
AUR
Arch Linux users can install BeAwesome via an official build script:
yay -S awesome-bawesome
Cloning
Clone the repository and link the src/bawesome
directory to your awesome
config:
git clone https://git.sr.ht/~cdrozak/bawesome
ln -s "$PWD/bawesome/src/bawesome" "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/awesome/bawesome"
After installing, theme variables are in the bawesome.theme
module. They can
be accessed via either require 'bawesome.theme'
or
require('bawesome').theme
. To apply all of them in your config, you can insert
the following in your theme file:
local gtable = require 'gears.table'
local bawesome = require 'bawesome'
local theme = {}
gtable.crush(theme, bawesome.theme)
-- Your theme variables here
return theme
This way, you can use all BeAwesome variables by default and override them as needed.
If you want to apply Haiku-like window decorations, call bawesome.setup()
in
your awesome configuration. It needs to be placed after beautiful.init()
:
local bawesome = require 'bawesome'
local beautiful = require 'beautiful'
beautiful.init('your_theme.lua')
bawesome.setup()
