Hi, just one more thing : i've got almost the same problem with a textbox, except that it sometimes indicates the text, and sometimes not. Is textbox widget actually a cairo surface ?
For example, I have a text widget which indicates the current tag. I've placed it in the view tag only section of the globalkeys bindings : -- View tag only. awful.key({ modkey }, "#" .. i + 9, function () local screen = mouse.screen local tag = awful.tag.gettags(screen)[i] if tag then awful.tag.viewonly(tag) tagw:set_text(tag.name) end end), The textbox is only defined by : tagw = wibox.widget.textbox() Thanks for the help. awesome v3.5.5 (Kansas City Shuffle) • Build: Apr 16 2014 17:38:00 for x86_64 by gcc version 4.8.2 (root@antec) • Compiled against Lua 5.1.5 (running with Lua 5.1) • D-Bus support: ✘ 2014-04-17 21:43 GMT+02:00 david cobac <david.co...@gmail.com>: > 2014-04-17 21:22 GMT+02:00 Uli Schlachter <psyc...@znc.in>: > > >> Try this: >> >> imagew:set_image(gears.surface.load_uncached("/tmp/image.png")) >> > > > Thanks Uli, that's great or maybe : YOU are great ! > > > >> -- >> > Cordialement > David Cobac > -- Cordialement David Cobac
