So I tried to use one of awesome's themes (zenburn,) the problem is when I startx there is just a black screen with a mouse pointer, which I am able to move.
Here is my rc.lua:
awful = require("awful")
beautiful = require('beautiful')
beautiful.init("~/.config/awesome/themes/zenburn/theme.lua")
bg_focus = beautiful.bg_focus
beautiful.init(awful.util.getdir("config") .. "/themes/zenburn/theme.lua")Theme.lua for zenburn:

Is that all of you rc.lua? it seems pretty minimal
Have you tried it successfully with the default theme before trying zenburn?
For changing theme I just copied /etc/xdg/awesome/rc.lua to ~/.config/awesome/rc.lua and changed the beautiful.init line from default to zenburn.

well my rc.lua is basically pointing at the theme of zenburn. It works if I don't do anything myself, that means it just picks I guess the default rc.lua, but I am not able to point at the default theme like I did with zenburn.
and changed the beautiful.init line from default to zenburn.
Can you please post your rc.lua, I don't understand what you did there.

Just change the default beautiful.init("/usr/share/awesome/themes/default/theme.lua") to beautiful.init("/usr/share/awesome/themes/zenburn/theme.lua").
Your beautiful.init points to ~/.config/awesome/themes/... which is perfectly fine if you actually copied the theme to that folder. You copied the zenburn folder, right?

After reading this a couple of times, I get the feeling that the rc.lua you posted actually is all of your rc.lua... That won't work.
You can't just provide a partial rc.lua with some things you want to change.
Just copy /etc/xdg/awesome/rc.lua to ~/.config/awesome/rc.lua and change the beautiful.init line (as Proinsias already stated)

Yes I copied it, but the problem still remains. My screen is black just with a mousepointer.

Darn it. I was too slow.

Well atleast the issue with the black screen is fixed now, thanks. But my desktop looks alot like the standard theme now, do I have to copy the rc.lua made for zenburn specifically? Should I mark the thread as solved?

Okay I solved the issue, there already was a beautiful.init() pointing to the default theme, hope this helps people in the future with the same problems.
