It is very fast, extensible and licensed under the GNU GPLv2 license. It is primarily targeted at power users, developers and any people dealing with every day computing tasks and who want to have fine-grained control on their graphical environment. This is the Awesome configuration of Clay Gomera (Drake) fully written in ORG mode inside EMACS. This is just a personal hobby that gives me all the freedom and posibilites to learn how to code and use text editors like Emacs. #+CAPTION: An example screenshot #+NAME: screenshot #+attr_org: :width 750 [[./screenshot.png]] * Libraries This is where you put custom libraries like lain or awesome-wm-widgets. #+begin_src lua -- Standard awesome library local gears = require("gears") --Utilities such as color parsing and objects local awful = require("awful") --Everything related to window managment require("awful.autofocus") -- Custom libraries local battery_widget = require("awesome-wm-widgets.battery-widget.battery") local volume_widget = require('awesome-wm-widgets.volume-widget.volume') local brightness_widget = require("awesome-wm-widgets.brightness-widget.brightness") local logout_menu_widget = require("awesome-wm-widgets.logout-menu-widget.logout-menu") -- Widget and layout library local wibox = require("wibox") -- Theme handling library local beautiful = require("beautiful") -- Notification library local naughty = require("naughty") naughty.config.defaults['icon_size'] = 100 -- Lain library local lain = require("lain") -- Enable hotkeys help widget for VIM and other apps -- when client with a matching name is opened: local hotkeys_popup = require("awful.hotkeys_popup").widget require("awful.hotkeys_popup.keys") local my_table = awful.util.table or gears.table -- 4.{0,1} compatibility #+end_src * Handle runtime errors after startup This section manages all the errors and error notifications. #+begin_src lua if awesome.startup_errors then naughty.notify({ preset = naughty.config.presets.critical, title = "Oops, there were errors during startup!", text = awesome.startup_errors }) end do local in_error = false awesome.connect_signal("debug::error", function (err) -- Make sure we don't go into an endless error loop if in_error then return end in_error = true naughty.notify({ preset = naughty.config.presets.critical, title = "Oops, an error happened!", text = tostring(err) }) in_error = false end) end local function run_once(cmd_arr) for _, cmd in ipairs(cmd_arr) do awful.spawn.with_shell(string.format("pgrep -u $USER -fx '%s' > /dev/null || (%s)", cmd, cmd)) end end run_once({ "unclutter -root" }) -- entries must be comma-separated #+end_src * Themes Here you chose your theme, tipically you will use a lain theme like powerarrow or multicolor, my custom theme is a fork of the powerarrow_dark theme focused on the gruvbox color palette and functional integration with the awesome-wm-widgets library. To setup more themes you need to put them into the themes folder located here in the awesome .config folder, then you need to add them into that variable called "local theme = { "theme1", "theme2" }". All the themes are indentified with a number as you can see down there, so to chose a theme you need to edit the variable "local chosen_theme = themes[1,2,3,etc]" to specify the theme that you want. #+begin_src lua local themes = { "gruvbox-dark" -- 1 } local chosen_theme = themes[1] local theme_path = string.format("%s/.config/awesome/themes/%s/theme.lua", os.getenv("HOME"), chosen_theme) beautiful.init(theme_path) beautiful.init(string.format(gears.filesystem.get_configuration_dir() ..
