Epitaph is being developed as a starting point for Gnu/Linux 🐧 users who are transitioning from a complete Desktop Environment to a great WM. This theme does not aim to be "simple" or "minimalistic", it aims to be complete and user-friendly as I can make it. I try to make Epitaph carefully crafted to provide you with all the tools you need to personalize your workspace and streamline your workflow. So why settle for less when you can have it all just work (kinda) with Epitaph?

Suggestions, ideas, or requests are always welcome! Please feel free to open an issue.

DISCLAIMER: I do not recommend you to use Epitaph and follow it's updates, it changes a lot. It's best for you to install Epitaph and then freeze it to use it as a starting ground for your own LeftWM theme.

This project is built on top of the Blue Coffee theme by @Qwart376.

As of 2023, Blue Coffee link is down, It seems the author deleted both account and repository. If someone has a fork

I drew inspiration and patches from the following sources:

• @Suavesito-Olimpiada dotfiles - No license but author states that his code can be used free as in freedom. I would debate if this is for the good of humanity.

• @AethanFoot leftwm-theme-dracula-rounded - No license as well. Author doesn't state permissions on code, will update as neccessary.

• @Catppucchin RoFi config - MIT License

• @Catppucchin Colorscheme - MIT License

• Polybar style inspiration taken from: ArchCraft, DT and ChadWM.

• Assets in this theme include:

  • A picture icon taken from Papirus Icon Theme

• Erina the cat, Camel, Steven Wilson and King Crimson wallpapers were made by AreliSuleima.
• The Orchid wallpaper is a personal modification I made based on the "Orchid" album from the band Opeth
• Added wallpapers taken from Linkin Park - Lost music video.
• Catppucchin variants of wallpapers extracted from Alcest & Camel
