# Reno desktop - awesomewm || ( openbox && xfce )
Reno is an evolution of my previous configuration, https://512mb.org/git/Yessiest/awesome. This time, this bad boy can fit 90% more configuration options, through the use of AWMTK2 (or RenoTK, never really decided on the name).
Reno is an evolution of my previous configuration, https://512mb.org/git/Yessiest/awesome. This time, this bad boy can fit 90% more configuration options, through the use of AWMTK2 (or RenoTK, haven't really decided on the name).
Through advancements in the ~~science~~ dark magic art of lua metatablery, AWMTK2 makes it possible to create complex and visually rich themes, while mainting relatively low memory footprint.

#### Current default theme, Reno98
![Totally not windows 98 trust me it's legally distinct](https://adastra7.net/git/Yessiest/reno/raw/branch/master/extra/screenshots/reno98.png)
#### An iteration on the look of Ubuntu with Ambiance theme
![Totally not ubuntu guys this how can't you see that](https://adastra7.net/git/Yessiest/reno/raw/branch/master/extra/screenshots/unity.png)
- Works best with [Chicago95](github.com/grassmunk/Chicago95) for GTK and [QTStep (QTStepWMakerDefault in particular)](github.com/andbgr/QTStep) on [Kvantum](https://github.com/tsujan/Kvantum).
- For Wine apps, use `winecfg`, go to Desktop Integration and set "(No Theme)" under "Theme". A matching QTStep theme is "QTStepBeige", but it doesn't quite match Chicago95, so you may want to configure the window colors using the Item editor, or by installing a custom theme.
#### Unity: a theme that mimics the look of Ubuntu with Ambiance theme
![Totally not ubuntu guys how can't you see that](https://adastra7.net/git/Yessiest/reno/raw/branch/master/extra/screenshots/unity.png)
- Works best with official [Ubuntu Themes](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-themes) ([AUR package](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ubuntu-themes)) for GTK and [Kvantum's](https://github.com/tsujan/Kvantum) default themes KvAmbiance or KvAmbience.
- For Wine apps, [Ubuntu Light for Windows XP](http://freddi67.deviantart.com/art/Ubuntu-Light-for-Windows-XP-177514325) theme exists on DeviantArt, which you can install using `winecfg`.
