Setup

One of the most frequently asked questions are; _"How do I set up Awesome with a dark theme?". Here are two answers that might work:

• lxappearance
• gsettings

The following worked for me, and is what's encoded in rc.lua

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme "Adwaita-dark"
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences theme "Adwaita-dark"
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface icon-theme "Adwaita-dark"
