These widgets use [Arc icon theme](https://github.com/horst3180/arc-icon-theme) by default but it could be easily 
changed to any other icon theme. If you want to have separators between widgets like on the screenshot create text widget with ` : ` and place it between widgets:

```lua
...
sprtr = wibox.widget.textbox()
sprtr:set_text(" : ")
...
sprtr,
volume_icon,
sprtr,
battery_widget,
sprtr,
...
```

# Installation

Clone repo under **~/.config/awesome/**, then in **rc.lua** add the import of the widget you'd like to use in "require" section on the top of the file:

```lua
require("awesome-wm-widgets.battery-widget.battery")
```

and then add widget to the wibox (you can search for **mytextclock** and add widget before):

```lua
 -- Add widgets to the wibox
     s.mywibox:setup {
         layout = wibox.layout.align.horizontal,
         { -- Left widgets
         ...
         },
         s.mytasklist, -- Middle widget
         { -- Right widgets
         ...
             battery_widget,
             mytextclock
         ...
         }
```

You will also need to install [Arc icon theme](https://github.com/horst3180/arc-icon-theme). By default it should be installed under **/usr/share/icons/Arc**. If you prefer different installation folder then you'll have to change path to the icons in the source code of the widget you want to use.

# Icons

If you don't want to install Arc icon theme you can just download the icons which are used from the [Arc repository](https://github.com/horst3180/arc-theme).
Or create your own icons with the same name.
