#BeAwesome

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.

#Installation

This software can be installed via 3 methods:

1. LuaRocks

   BeAwesome is available in the LuaRocks repository. To install, use the following command:

   luarocks install bawesome
   

2. AUR

   Arch Linux users can install BeAwesome via an official build script:

   yay -S awesome-bawesome
   

3. 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()
