Re: advices for widget
Hi Mickael, For battery state and volume control, I use Vicious library ( https://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/Vicious) I use it also for clock but I implemented calendar manually, based on the work of Vincent Bernat ( https://github.com/AlexisBRENON/awesome-configuration/blob/master/backend/datetime/calendar.lua ). For wifi and more generally network controller, I never found anything as good as NetworkManager with nm-applet. I tried all in this list https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/List_of_applications/Internet#Network_managers . I didn't use any easy drive mounter, as I don't have many external drives or USB key. Only one good rule in /etc/fstab a folder named /mnt/external, and I only have to type mount /etc/external to mount my USB drive when needed. Hope my experience can help.

Naughty Notifications on multiple monitors
Hi, I have a standing/sitting monitor arrangement on my desk that makes it hard to see notifications on the upper monitor while sitting and vice versa. I've been trying to change the default naughty config so notifications appear on both monitors at once, but so far I'm only able to just change which monitor it shows up on (not both). Is there an easy way to have notifications shown on all monitors? Thanks, Abe Baker
Re: Naughty Notifications on multiple monitors
Hi Abraham,
you have to call the anughty.notift() function twice, once for each screen.
Maybe you can define a function which do it for you :
local naughty = require('naughty')
naughty.notify = function (args)
local i = 1
while i = screen.count() do
args.screen = i
naughty.notify(args)
end
end
Or something like that
Regards,
Alexis
