awesome wm, sidebar conky

dancer69 · 2015-08-02 10:55:46

I have 2 conkies which have setted as panel and appear as a sidebar in the right side of desktop. I load them with awesome and the problem is that avery other window I open doesn't occupy the free space, but only a small area at the bottom of the screen. Is like the conky windows have taken all space except this bottom area. Is this a conky configuration problem or tilling window managers don't have this future. I mean, in desktop enviroments as gnome, xfce etc, I can have these conkies with the current configuration to act as side paner and the windows when maximized occupie all available area except the bottom which is the panel and the side which the conky panel windows are. I want to achice the same effect with awesome. Is possible?

Please see the forum guidelines on image sizes.

Also, what are we supposed to see in that image? That doesn't look like awesomeWM, and I don't see the problem you describe. Is that an image of it working the way you want? If so, why wouldn't you post a link to a picture of the *problem*?

Sorry about the image size.
Yes is the result I want to achive. I didn't posted the problematic picture because, I haven't use awesome so I'm not familiar with the way it works yet. So was easier and faster to take a screenshot from my current DE. The problem is that in awesome the windows don't fill the space which firefox's window occupies in picture but instead use a space in the bottom(which the panel is in picture) about 100-200px

Something like this:
