Out of curiosity is there a program or utility you used to generate the cool headers at the beginning of your AwesomeWM config files or did you just create them by hand?

The feature:

An indicator on the top panel showing which layout is in use.

Additional behavior:

When clicked, the indicator will show all the available layout so you can switch to one of them, and maybe a keyboard shortcut for it.
thanks for reading,
have a nice day.

Some letters are closer to the other letter and someones appear further from them.
Hope you understand me,
have a nice day.

Title is self explanatory. It would be nice to have setting wallpaper and colors compatible with Pywal.

Hi!

Great work with the config! I am just wondering if there is a way to make the width of some of the elements smaller? I find the elements to be too big for my taste.

The titlebar blur is not working on certain apps like nautlius, vscode etc. I have been checking out if it was something to do with picom but wasn't able to find out what was going wrong.

I haven't been able to pin programs to specific tags using this setup.

I have tried setting up rules like in the vanilla rc.lua with properties = { tag = tags[1][5] } }, in rules.lua but it has no effect. Other rules are working for the program.
I believe it has to do with the non standard tag creation in the rc.lua.

Has anyone got it working?

For some reason, i have two programs that keeps constantly vanishing (terminating/killing) itself after some time
It's xidlehook for i3lock and mpris-proxy for bluetooth control.
I'm not sure how to track what is happening, but these two things are restarting fine after awesomewm restart

I think these dotfiles should consider possibility of crashing program and should automatically notify you about that, restart or at least log that somewhere.

why did you change terminal back to alacritty again? and is there any way to auto hide the left panel when a program is running?

please forgive my newb questions

I downloaded this theme and it was working fine but as soon as i touch keys.lua everything brakes. I cant add any Keybinds (probably because im not a programmer). Also there is a syntax error i cant fix.

Hi there, first i would like to say that i love your work!

I've been running your setup on my laptop for a while now and thought it was time to get it on my desktop PC as well. The problem I'm facing now is that only one of my monitors are working. How and where do i enable multi monitor setup?

I am fairly new to linux over all and if you need some input just tell me what to enter :D

Hello,
I am a newbie in Awesome WM. After I have configure this dotfile. I got error in while changing volume.
Error occurs:
in line 90 of volume-adjust.lua: attempt to compare number with nil.
I don't understand the error and how to solve it.
Please help. Thank you.

First and foremost, thank you for realizing the concept from r/unixporn!

When I tried to use your config, I was having difficulties on implementing window title and window icon. Usually I just add awful.widget.iconwidget(c) to the titlebar setup, but because yours is kinda different then what other config I have tried and the docs, I ended up with broken titlebar with no buttons nor icon. Could you shed this lua noob some light please on how to implement window title and window icon on your amazing config ?

how can i get maximize minimize button from mirage theme in pastel
because not a fan of close button in top bar in pastel

First and foremost, I love what you are doing, my desktop looks beautiful!

I'm on a dual monitor setup and I would really like it that if I, for example, press [modkey] + 3, it displays the third tag on both monitors.
I tried to achieve this by myself but wasn't quite able to do it.

Switch to tag don't work for me.
If I start firefox, it starts on current tag.

So, the autorun programs in my rc.lua just do not run. I tried changing the shell from zsh to bash, I tried replacing both the autorun list and the lua code that runs it with snippets directly from this repository. None of it worked, I also ran the commands in the terminal and they ran just fine. All the programs also used to run fine and I don't think i changed anything. Would you know what is going on?

this is my rc.lua https://pastebin.com/SYu6KMSj

Thank you,

Hi, I wanted to know how is possible to move the calendar widget to the top right corner of the screen (instead of top center)

I tried using the master of awesome (29f6387defd) but that doesn't work with this config. I also tried 6101ef51 (which is currently in the AUR PKGBUILD of awesome-git) but that also doesn't work. I'm getting the following error:

This is pretty hard to google, but it seems like this is a part of awesome that's removed/renamed in more recent versions. So what's the latest version (git SHA) of awesome that works with this config?

Welp its me again (Im sorry)

Here is the issue straight

When i try to Change the volume to anything It shows me this

what is happening ? It just aint working , I used the dependencies you had told

I have installed https://github.com/vinceliuice/McMojave-circle icons and sf fonts isnt that weird ?

Im using git version

Fonts and icons not showing up :(

how can i change the icon of the volume-slider-osd when the audio is mute?

I had installed all the nessasary dependencies i even logged into aawesome but the problems start from there , when i Tried to click on anything it did not work no keybinnds no clicks nothing only the ui was loaded , the only thing which i could click was the callender but it was of no use

Hey, great config, i was off unixporn for some time but i saw now your Mirage config, very nice!

Any chance you could share your picom config? I am struggle to get the round corners properly, without showing some white squares in some edges.

If you could, would be nice! Thanks.

On line 243 of keys.lua change exit_screen_show() to awesome.emit_signal("show_exit_screen")
You probably forgot to update that line :p

First and foremost, I love what you are doing, my desktop looks beautiful!

I'm on a dual monitor setup and I would really like it that if I, for example, press [modkey] + 3, it displays the third tag on both monitors.
Some people seem like how it is right now so the feature should of course be optional. I tried to achieve this by myself but wasn't quite able to do it.

I'm relatively new to the linux wm world, and started off with awesomewm when I saw your post on reddit. I was in love with it, and wanted to switch to your config. I followed the steps outlined in the installation instructions, and I have some issues.

1. The left sidebar is not all the way to the top
2. I cant increase the volume with my keyboard, when I try to, the error on the top right pops up
3. There is no blurring effect, and no rounded corners. The background is either completely black, or completely transparent. (I'm using the ibhagwan picom version as you suggested)
   Can you please help me out with these? Thanks

It shows disconnected even though i AM connected and using wi-fi normally.

I have dual-monitor setup
When i use just modkey + 1/2/3/4 when i focused on client on second screen, it changes workspace on that screen, which is fine and how it should work.

But when i press buttons (left panel) and i didn't click on anything on left screen, it moves first client from right screen to left screen to workspace that i clicked.

I tried searching through awesome/widgets/tag-list.lua, but couldn't find behaviour that would describe such issue.

Summary

As we have discovered in #31, some of the scripts are not working, if the default shell is fish. Unfortunately, this also affects the network widget and possibly other areas, that I haven't noticed yet. Especially, in the network widget, the differences between fish and bash are so big, that I doubt, it will be possible to write a version, that runs in both shells. Therefore my proposal would be, to have two versions of the script and use the SHELL environment variable, to choose the script corresponding to the users login shell.

Example

An example of the big differences between bash and fish I mentioned earlier:

# Bash
if [[ -n "${$wireless}" && -d "${net}${wireless}" ]]; 
then
  ...
fi

# Fish
if test -n "$wireless" && test -d "$net$wireless"
  ...
end

Points to discuss

• Is there really no way to write a script that runs in both shells?
• Should we try, to auto detect the users current shell, e.g. by using the SHELL environment variable, or rather have a variable, in rc.lua, where the user can change the shell manually?
• Should we keep the scripts inside the lua files, or move them to dedicated shell files, to make things a bit cleaner?
  • Downside of this could be, that you have to make the scripts executable after cloning the repository

Once we have come to a conclusion about the above points, I am willing to create a pull request, containing the network manager and everything else, I discover until then, in a version working with fish.

Howdy, first of all thank you for sharing the dotfile and giving good and straight foward instructions but I'm having a problem after installing the dotfiles, none of the keybinds are working for some reason except for master + esc, and because of the lack of the right click menu (there's a way to put it back in via the dotfiles?) I can't even use the terminal or any applications.

I'm using manjaro on a VM (VirtualBox), I'm testing dotfiles before I use them on my main laptop.

Hi,

I am using Manjaro Awesome Community Edition. When applying your awesome theme (pun intended) everything looks great, except that pamac is not usable anymore, because authentication fails.

When reverting to my backup config and rebooting, it works again. Any ideas?

btw, a minor tweak: in your spicetify config your home is set...

Thanks for the great work!

I have been using these dotfiles for some while and I have never seen it make an notification window. I tried to add a copyq to startup into the code but it is not working. I don't think that this part of the code is working.

I have done some modifications but I don't think I broke it somehow.

thanks for help

When the volume is changed i can only see the the place where the progress bar should be, but not the progress bar itself

It seems that the volume icons of Pastel theme are all the same, i.e., volume.png, volume-low.png, and volume-off.png.

in keys.lua there is error with the name " UpdateBriOSD " call "UpdateBrOSD".
with this the slider move (not flowing) but gave me error in function ToggleBriOSD and ToggleVolOSD, i don't know why, with log "awesome timer not started"

It seems that the ibhagwan version for picom is no longer available for arch linux. The AUR repository seems to be defunct.

I'm a little confused about the function of left panel in Pastel theme. It seems to "store" the window launched when given icon is clicked instead of launching corresponding applications. Is this the supposed functionality of left panel? Thanks!

What icons are you using for the pastel sidebar? I would like to add another shortcut to a folder but i want to stick to the same icon theme.

Like the icons and font are wrong ,

The left panel looks different from the screenshot in the readme file,
here is a screenshot:

I don't think I modified the config for it.
Thanks for reading,
Have a nice day

The icon size in rofi was quite small for my laptop screen, so I tried to change the size by modifying the rofi config in mirage. It did not take effect after refreshing awesome or rebooting. I also tried to place it in ~/.config/rofi but that did not work either. Any idea how I can get it to work?

Hi there,

great work, theme is looking really awesome! I am missing a workspace/tags indicator, so some kind of indicator which shows on which workspaces open applications are. Am I missing it or is it not included / configured?

I'm running Arcolinux and have installed all dependencies (uninstalled awesomewm from Arcolinux) and after copying the awesome config folder into my .config folder, I'm unable to login. I login but it sends me back to the login screen. Note that I managed to get your config working when replacing the awesome folder while logged in and restarting awesome.

Once I logged out, I can't get back in. Sorry, tried to contact directly as this is obviously something on my end but any help is appreciated (new to awesomewm)! All dependencies are installed, just wondering what would cause me to get sent back to login screen.

Tested this on a different distro (Archcraft) and it seemed to work fine though.
