Ok, first of all let’s start saying that I’ve used awesome for a long time before (4/5 years ago), but I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong because I’m very rusty or if simply something as changed and I cannot find where it is said that it is so.
local theme_path = string.format("%s/.config/awesome/themes/%s/theme.lua", os.getenv("HOME"), "material")
beautiful.init(theme_path)
then I’ve copied the default theme folder in
.config/awesome/themes/default
and rename it material.

theme.layout_cornerse = themes_path.."material/layouts/cornersew.png"
but nothing changed. Or at least, the wallpaper is now solid black, and all the icons are gone, as if the file don’t exists (even if obviously they are all there).
Any idea what’s I’m doing wrong?
What about
"%s/.config/awesome/themes/default/%s/theme.lua"
I suppose your directory is something like home/.config/awesome/themes/default/material/theme.lua
Edit : If the new path I gave does not fix it for you, please share the output of this command
tree ~/.config/awesome
I’ve checked but isn’t the problem. My tree is

I’m not seeing something obvious?
EDIT: tried with absolute path too and didn’t get any results.
Ok, lets think of some other issue…
In first one, variable is named theme_path. In second one, its named themes_path (an extra s)
Could that be causing images to not load?

Wow, I’m a big dummy to not have noticed it!
/home/nemo/.config/awesome/rc.lua:564:bad argument #-1 to '_newindex' (string expected, got nil)
The problem here is that I’ve not changed those line from the default in rc.lua nor in the theme.lua. And also I’ve double checked my theme.lua and the two variables are both string
here the two whole files:
rc.lua theme.lua
PS is a slightly old paste so theme.lua present the error themes/theme but in the new one is correct. I’ll change the link as soon as I can, but for the sake of the other error everything is the same.

sorry, I don’t understand your answer
in your rc.lua you have
and in theme.lua

change this
remove the s from themes_path to theme_path
in your theme.lua config file

Oh ok, that what you where saying. That’s was already suggested by flyingcakes and is already applied (as stated in the post where I’ve posted the files). The paste is a little old and in my system the problem with the themes typo is already corrected, but I cannot change the link right now so you see the old and wrong file. That being said I’ll change the link as soon as possible with the correct one. Sorry
Just uploaded.

Ok it’s fixed.
Thanks everyone for the help and sorry for the stupid questions.
