Awesome/Ness

Completely redesigned configuration workflow for AwesomeWM

Project discontinued!

Most of it's features are still included in my personal configuration
You can check it out here: adamnejm/dotfiles/awesome/

Features

Flow system
Use other configurations as a base for your own one by using the fallback system or directly borrowing files
Non-intrusive libraries
Included libraries will run when you tell them to run, no behind the scenes bullshit, you're always in control
Stock configuration
Comes with default configuration which is meant to imitate the stock AwesomeWM experience
Simplified runtime configuration
Forget clutter of default Awesome's rc.lua and stay in control of your system
Static configuration
Just tweak a value in your config.lua and you're done!

Examples

Key and button binds

Awesome's default keys and buttons are hard to read and manage, but guess what...

_{client_keys.lua:}

bind.clientKeys {
  {
    combo	= "Mod + F",
    desc	= "Fullscreen",
    press	= function(c)
      c.fullscreen = not c.fullscreen
      c:raise()
    end
  },{
    combo	= "Mod + Shift + C",
    desc	= "Kill",
    press	= function(c)
      c:kill()
    end
  }
}

Screens, tags and clients

With the combination of static configuration, tagger and agent libraries you can easily configure screens, create tags, set wallpapers and manage where clients spawn

_config.lua:

["HDMI"] = {
  wallpaper = "background.png",
  tag_filter = awful.widget.taglist.filter.all,
  tag_count = 9,
  tags = {
    [3] = {
      name = "Browsers",
      spawn = { "Firefox", "Thunar" }
    }
  }
}

_rc.lua:

awful.screen.connect_for_each_screen(function(scr)
  tagger.setupScreenConfig(scr)
  tagger.setWallpaper(scr)
  tagger.createTags(scr)
end)

client.connect_signal("manage", function(c)
  agent.manageSpawnTag(c)
end)
