You can continue running all the applets and helpers you want, like nm-applet, media hotkeys managers, etc. For automonting, I use devmon, although you can actually run a regular desktop environment and use awesome on top to actually manage the windows. > > (Some examples at https://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/My_first_awesome > did not work with 3.5 version, I update the one with the text (which > was not easy at first glance).) > > How to enable sloppy focus (or focus follows mouse) for all windows? Sloppy focus is already included with the default config, or at least it was some releases ago. > How to make resize the window by clicking on all the sides of the > window frame (not only the bottom-right corner)? As for resizing, you can add hotkeys, or you can also use the ones that are already asigned to modifying the split share on split tags, such as modifier + l and modifier + h in the default config. > How to add the classical minimize, maximize and close to titlebar > instead of the five There are keyboard shortcuts for that: modifier + n to minimize, click the toolbar item to restore, and close with modifier + q or c (i don't remember which one). > > Whe I press the keys for audio level, gnome poped up a small dialog > on the screen with volume level, how can this be done with awesome? Your media player can take care of this, or use a hotkey manager or write a config snippet for awesome such as: awful.key({ "Shift" }, "XF86AudioMute", function () awful.util.spawn("./scripts/volume.sh m") end), awful.key({ "Shift" }, "XF86AudioPrev", function () awful.util.spawn("./scripts/remote.sh -r prev") end), awful.key({ "Shift" }, "XF86AudioNext", function () awful.util.spawn("./scripts/remote.sh -r next") end), awful.key({ "Shift" }, "XF86AudioStop", function () awful.util.spawn("./scripts/remote.sh -r stop") end), awful.key({ "Shift" }, "XF86AudioPlay", function () awful.util.spawn("./scripts/remote.sh -r togglePause") end), where volume.sh is a script I have at https://github.com/kiike/scripts/blob/master/volume.sh > > On a terminal for ex., removing at the beginning of a line made an > error sound. How to enable error sound with awesome? I don't use any other emulator besides urxvt, so can't suggest anything except visual bells. > > How to enlarge the height of the statusbar and the size of the fonts > used inside?

Check your theme.lua and modify the font there. For instance, use theme.font = "Ubuntu 10" If you want check out my awesome configurations or the ones in the wiki, you can probably get some inspiration from there.
