Re: awesome config

OK, so I've done some messing around from examples found on another forum one thing is getting me mad when i open a terminal its just covering whats behind it rather then resize the windows and add the terminal and so on (this screenshot will show you better then what i can put in words)

As you see a terminal is opened and thunderbird has not been resized the terminal is "sat" on top of it, how do i make it so every terminal i open it resizes the window and tiles it if thats the correct term.

Thanks

Re: awesome config

You can try commenting out the Urxvt.geometry line from your Xdefaults stuff. I'm not sure if that has an effect on anything but it seems like a likely candidate.

Also, make sure you don't have anything like the following in your .awesomerc

rule { name = "rxvt" float = true }

The default way to manually put something into a tiling layer is MOD4 + CTRL + SPACE, until you can figure out what config setting is doing that.
