Not with awesome 3.5.9, no. Sorry. However, for the next major release we are working on changing this[0]. This requires quite some changes, because all the code right now assumes that all screens are already known when the config file is loaded and doesn't change later.

[...] If you have some "frequent patter" for this, the only suggestion that I have is to configure some more of these settings in your config. You can e.g. use awful.tag.setmwfact(0.3, tags[1][3]) in your rc.lua to configure a "default" mwfact for the third tag. Cheers, Uli -- Q: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation.
