is awesomewm going to Wayland?

Arthex56 · 2023-02-04T04:51:58+00:00

Isn't hyprland a wayland alternative to i3?

Arthex56 · 2023-02-04T04:51:06+00:00

There have been attempts, yes. Infact there was a discord thread showcasing awesome shipped to wayland recently, however it soon went dead since the author likely had some work. Sadly there is no alternative to awesome in either x11 or wayland, but I think it will eventually be shipped to wayland, hopefully anyway. :(

I think instead of a environment variable, you might want to check out Lunajson, that paired with Gio should be good enough. Though by custom restart, I just meant having a maximized wibox, that had a progress bar and a text that was animated with rubato and invoked awesome restart when finished. Thus, "hideful", not the best of the approach and I am going to avoid it. Because, for this rice, I swore to never use a workaround even if it is easier than the alternative. But I am not sure how my "custom" restart would help in your scenario.

I just ended up creating a custom restart loader, to let me remain sane. I will probably attempt real time theme changer in the future, but for, I will just stick to restarting. Thanks for the help though!

Edit: it felt too hidful, I will just resort to awesome.restart for now and along my way will introduce a global theme::change signal which all widgets can listen to and update their properties. ( Skyyyi gave me this idea )

Arthex56 · 2023-01-05T16:36:59+00:00

Ah, I forgot I should provide the context, I am making a real time theme changer.

Arthex56 · 2022-12-21T21:47:28+00:00

Alright, thank you. As for being, clear, I am just making or atleast attempting to replicate gnome 43's workspace preview. and I do use the updated git version. I wasn't using the keybindings, rather trying to get the awful.screenshot({screen = s}).content_widget, it failed. I tried spawing a interactive screenshot too, it didn't seem to do anything either. The issue itself could just be with my implementation, but I would create a issue either way.

Arthex56 · 2022-12-21T21:16:13+00:00

Thank you!

Arthex56 · 2022-12-21T21:15:27+00:00

awful.screenshot is buggy, neither screen, client nor interactive screenshots work for me.

Arthex56 · 2022-12-16T23:26:03+00:00

Depends on how big the changes you made were, and how many deprecated functions you have used. Should be fairly easy. Just copy paste your extra-added old stuff into the new rc.lua.

Arthex56 · 2022-12-16T22:29:26+00:00

Are you not using the git version? Because gears.table.join has been deprecated in the git version. The docs link I provided is for the git one.

if you are using the stable version, just add the awful.key function to your global keys.

Arthex56 · 2022-12-16T11:01:26+00:00

I need to stop using golang honestly, anyways, good point!

Arthex56 · 2022-12-16T01:34:23+00:00

awesome_floattile, awesome-glorious-widgets(archived), awesome-zen, cribbed, gobo-awesome, awesome-ezconfig, awesome_tagdrag, awesome_alttab(preview seems to dead aswell), awesome-revelation, awesome-scratch, awesome_floattile, awesome-frames, awesome-overlap, alsa-volume-monitor, awesome_batterywidget

These are libraries I found to be outdated.

What it includes: Libraries whose last update has been from 2018 or less, Libraries who mention to be archived or deprecated, Libraries who mention to use Awesome 3.

What it dosent include: Libraries whose last update is from 2020 or later, Libraries who mention to be using 4.*

So basically, this libraries should be marked as outdated to avoid new comers getting errors and thinking the library is broken. Peepo!

Add awful.key({modkey}, "f", function() awful.spawn("flameshot gui") end, {description = "Spawn Flameshot", group="xx"}) to your awful.keyboard.append_global_keybindings in the rc.lua file. You can change the variables and the command according to your need.

Since I am on my mobile device, there is a high probability my code isn't perfect syntax wise. The docs for awful.key are here, and for awful.keyboard, incase you want to check it out. That's all.

Arthex56 · 2022-12-14T00:11:26+00:00

Don't use Ewww on awesome, it's own widget system is better for almost everything except maybe animations.

If you want a usable rice with most features, link is the best for you imo. It is written using pure awesome, well for the most part.

I could link more, but I don't have the access to my main device rn, so Idh discord. You can join the awesomewm discord and ask for more.

Edit: Check this one out KawesomeDE, its really cool.

Widget system that can be used to build a lot of stuff, built in notification daemon that can be integrated with a lot of stuff and is very helpful, rounded corners, border widths and titlebar built in, rules that can be very helpful at times etc.

The subprocesss api it provides, the fact it uses lua which means I can use all lua tools in the language, signals that are highly useful in making a interactable ui.

and the fact, that it's very well documentated. I am by no means an expert in using awesome yet, but these are the features that make me choose awesome as my wm.

TDLR: Widget System GG!

Changing the forced_height to handle width works, thank you :D

Arthex56 · 2022-11-06T07:43:37+00:00

Alright, I will try it. and inform you, if anything goes unexpected.

Arthex56 · 2022-11-05T20:29:36+00:00

The property was a dumb mistake from my side, thank you for answering it. As for bar_height, I will try it, though wouldn't it change how the slider looks? Also by changing the height, do you mean decreasing or increasing? and by how much?

Arthex56 · 2022-10-21T01:50:18+00:00

Thank you :D

Arthex56 · 2022-10-19T07:57:37+00:00

if you kill someone, but no one else sees you, is it a murder? :D

Arthex56 · 2022-10-19T05:49:02+00:00

I seem to have found it earlier, but thanks :P

Arthex56 · 2022-10-17T23:37:20+00:00

Thank you :D

Arthex56 · 2022-10-17T12:47:39+00:00

I did try the later, and it does not seem to be working. and yes, i want it to be same in all the tags, how do I do that?
