Theme for AwesomeWM

Original design by PapyElGringo. Cloned from ChrisTitusTech/titus-awesome

This repo is designed to be compatible with AwesomeWM latest (4.3) and the git HEAD. I primarily use latest, so this may be undertested on HEAD. If you notice any issues, please create an issue or PR!

An almost desktop environment made with AwesomeWM with a performant opinionated keyboard workflow to increase daily productivity and comfort.
