Awesome WM Copycats

A collection of heavy modded themes for Awesome WM 3.5+

Beware! They're more awesome than they appear, it's just they're shy.

Notable features:

Autohide widgets (tell me only when you have to)
Autostart functionality
Fast mpd and volume shortcuts (first time you see this trick in Awesome)
Other fancy shortcuts for copying to the clipboard (goodbye clipboard managers!), toggle wiboxes, widgets popups, screenshots capture, moving clients
Quake style dropdown terminal
Calendar with current day highlighted and previous/next month switch with just a click
Elegant notifications for new mails, current song, hdd critical state, low battery
Yahoo Weather integration
A net carrier status notifier
Full localization potential (just easily edit about 5 lines - look for 'stub' keywords)
Colorful autoupdating icons
Symbolic tag names
PNG taskbar

They're scattered all over the set, but you can get them all only in Blackburn.

Notes

Do not use without reading and modifying according to your preferences and system specs.

Fonts are Terminus (Multicolor, Powerarrow Darker) and Tamsyn (Steamburn, Blackburn).

Blackburn uses Icons and Yawn: if you're running Ubuntu, be sure to have bitmaps enabled.

Steamburn and Blackburn have X colorschemes too. Check here.

Have any suggestions? did you see some great stuff and you want me to port it into Awesome? Feel free to email me, it might just be the next copycat!
