Hi everybody,
Hi Eugen,
I come from gnome fallback and am new to awesome. I am a bit
disoriented by the new interface.
Is there a gnome-ish style ready? Instead of adding one by one each
icon and application, is there an gnome-ish style already written?
For ex. with nm-applet, nautilus started for icons on background,
screensaver at ctrl-alt-l, showing title bars, automounting, audio
applet, suspend2ram when closing the lid (see below for others)?
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? Currently, on my 1920x1200 154 screen the statusbar
is too small. This would also solve the known issue at
http://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/Nm-applet.
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.
Cheers,
Enric

Re: surviving as a windows user
On 29 Oct 2013 16:36, Andre Klärner wrote: Hi guys, Hi Andre, Has anyone of you to deal with something alike and found a solution, how to at least get something awesome-like as a window manager? If there anything that can lessen the pain? ;) You don't state the windows version you are using but, in windows 7, when you drag and drop windows to the edges of the screen they can split the space effectively like the tiling feature in awesome, although the OS won't do it for you, which sucks, but at least you don't have a floating windows mess. If you drag the window to the top it maximises, and in the side edges they take half of the screen. I am also stuck at windows, but I try to do as much as I can via a tmux session over SSH, and the rest I have to manage with this drag-to-the-edges-of-the-screen crap.

Re: Prevent /new/ windows from taking focus
On 06 Jun 2013 07:35, Hans Georg Schaathun wrote: to apply AFAICS. Does anyone know of any methods which could be used to overrule the WM's focus decisions? And how to block them? The only thing I can think of is tweaking the signal called client.connect(), which, among other actions, sets the border type to the 'focus' border type defined in your theme and other focus-related actions. I think you could incorporate a test in the text expression in this function to exclude the matlab windows from the new clients focus changes. Hope this can help a bit, Enric Morales -- To unsubscribe, send mail to awesome-unsubscr...@naquadah.org.
Re: Prevent /new/ windows from taking focus
On 02 Jun 2013 12:50, Hans Georg Schaathun wrote: Dear all, Hey there! Basically, I think the only event which should cause a focus change is the mouse pointer entering the window. Then I think you can delete the focus = awful.client.focus.filter from the rules list. That rule adds the new clients to the focus filter, so this change will achieve your desired effect. For your reference, that line is almost at the end of the default rc.lua, in the awful.rules.rules array. Alternatively, you could try adding a custom rule (via instance match, for example), to apply only to the clients you want.

Re: mail widget for 3.5 (no gmail)
Hello everyone! I have this mailbox snippet in my rc.lua:
-- Variables
home = os.getenv(HOME)
-- Mail widget
vicious_mail = wibox.widget.textbox()
vicious.register(vicious_mail, vicious.widgets.mdir, function (widget, args)
if args[1] == 0
then return string.format(!--)
else return string.format('✉ span color=#dc322f' ..
args[1] .. '/span | ')
end
end, 60, { home..'/mail/inbox' })
Maybe you can find it useful. The mail is synchronised with OfflineIMAP. This
setup works in 3.5 with no problems.

Re: remmina in awesone - Different behaviour for RDP of Windows XP and Windows 7
Hi Dave, David Sorkovsky escrigué: Now for the strange/interesting part… I just setup a Windows 7 VM in Virtualbox but this time, running headless and using remmina to RDP in, fullscreen mode does NOT cover the entire screen, but leaves the tray (only uses the viewport?) You can toggle the fullscreen status with the default keybinding Mod4+f. That should do the trick. You could even set up a rule so that you don't have to do this manually everytime.
