Fullscreen Firefox
Hello, I am currently using 3.5.1 on Gentoo linux and I am having a problem fullscreen-ing (using Mod4 + f) Firefox, namely it doesn't work. What seems to be happening is that it is engaging Firefox's fullscreen mode (hiding the url bar) but not resizing the program to occupy the screen. It worked properly at some point in the past, but stopped recently. I haven't changed my rc.lua file and firefox does not have any custom rules set. Any ideas?
Re: Align text in widget
I seem to have found a way to do this, I'll post it here incase anyone should have a similar issue. Instead of using markup for the background I used: http://awesome.naquadah.org/doc/api/modules/wibox.widget.background.html Which I didn't know existed.

Scaling Windows
Hello, I was wondering if it is possible to scale a floating window's size in awesome by a certain percentage. For example, I could have a function that shrinks the selected window by %50.
Get current tag from a screen
Hello, I'm trying to find a way to retrieve the current selected tag for a given screen. If screen 1 was on tag 3, this function/whatever would return 3. You get the idea. Is there anyway to do this?
Re: widgets and bottom wibox
That's what I thought. You are using mywibox for both the top and the
bottom. You need to make a second one with a different name (unless I am
mistaken).
Outside of the loop declare a new variable (mywibox2 = {}). Then in the
loop, create the wibox.
mywibox2[s] = awful.wibox({ position = "bottom", screen = s }).
Then declare a new layout.
local layout2 = wibox.layout.align.horizontal()
Then add the sys widget (assuming that is all you want right now) to the
layout.
layout2:set_left(sys)
Finally, set the wibox's widget.
mywibox2[s]:set_widget(layout2)
That should work.

Re: widgets and bottom wibox
Could you post the code for the top wibox?

Re: Systray widget visibility
Thanks for that, although it seems that once the I set the container's
widget to systray, setting it to nil again does not remove the systray from
my wibox. Any ideas? Do I have to have the wibox redraw itself or something?

Re: vertical orientation for default wibox
Couple of ideas:
First, make sure you change the line where you declare the wiibox. It
should say "mywibox[s] = awful.wibox({ position = "top", screen = s })" by
default (I think). Change the position to left.
According to
this
page,
vertical layouts have a top, bottom, and a middle. So instead of
left/right, you have top/bottom. If you change all of this it should work
(I didn't test it).

Systray widget visibility
Hello,
I upgraded to 3.5 today, and in the process of updating my widgets I
noticed something that seems to be missing, or at least I can't find it. In
3.4 I could call visible on a systray (I.E. mst = widget({ type = "systray"
}), mst.visible = false and the systray would not show up) but now that
systrays are handled through wibox I can't seem to be able to set this
value. I've looked through the documentation to see if there was any
mention of a new visibility function, but I can't find anything. If anyone
could help me I would appreciate it.
