Crylia Theme
This theme is inspired by simple bar and many other things that I think look good and fit my theme. AwesomeWM lets you configure your desktop as you want, no compromises, the sky is the limit! This is the reason I choose AwesomeWM.

Quick Install
Installation
Installing this theme is rather easy, just copy the repo and put the awesome folder to ~/.config/ But in order for it to work as seen you need some dependencies installed along the way. Here are the main components, but in order for everything to work go here.
| Arch | Ubuntu | Why? | |
|---|---|---|---|
| AwesomeWM | awesome | Guide here | Its your Window Manager lol |
| Rofi | rofi | Guide here | For the application launcher |
| Picom | picom-ibhagwan-gitaur | Guide here | Compositor, needed for transparency/blur/effects/animations etc |
TODO
This is my 1.0 release, meaning that I will add many more features as time goes on. At this state the config is usable on (hopefully) all systems complying with my dependency list.
- Independent Application launcher
- Alt+Tab like Window switcher
- Switching trough Keyboard layouts using <super>+<space>(like on gnome where you hold down super)
- System tray needs a lot of work (maybe an own implementation)
- Manual tiling layout like i3
- Interactive calendar with online support
Features
Some would say there are more features than a WM needs, I say you can never have enough features (as long as they make some sense).
- Multi screen support
- Interactive taskbar (left, right click and hover over)
- Session option to reboot, shutdown etc
- Multi keyboard layout support + switch widget
- Calendar widget (not interactive)
- Rofi application launcher and window switcher
- Volume / Brightness switcher
- Dock
- Systray
Some stuff planned for the future
- Calendar OSD
- GPU/CPU/RAM etc Temparature and Usage widget
- Extended volume and microphone control
- More bugs
- I3 like layout / manual tiling
I've added various widgets you can choose or remove how you like it.
Including:
Battery, Network (Wifi, Ethernet), Bluetooth, Volume, Keyboardlayout, Date (with Calendar), Time, Session options, Taglist, Tasklist, Layoutswitcher.
Known bugs
Please note, the config could easily break since I can only test it on so many systems. Every installation is different
If you encounter any bug or question you can't solve, feel free to open a new issue or PR
- The dock may not work with most flatpaks, snaps, appimages and Icons wont work when a path instead of a program is specified
- The Volume and Backlight keys will be really laggy when changed too fast
- Not every program will use the Icon's pack icon in the taglist and tasklist
- Rounded corners have a transparent corner, this is because of picom
- The dock may or may not hide and show properly, sometimes even jitters
- The Volume OSD wont go over 100% even if the volume is higher(the regular widget works)
- The dock, Volume OSD and Backlight OSD all have very bad implementations and might cause performance issues
- The systay will stay even when empty since there is no way to check how many clients are in the systray
