any idea how i can get the cpufreq vicious widget working again? the vicious widget is looking for scaling_cur_freq which doesn't exist in /sys/device/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq and cpuinfo_cur_freq can't be read by user. looked at the vicious git but there havent been any updates in a while.

mmmm its working

e.g.

cpufreq = wibox.widget.textbox()
vicious.register(cpufreq, vicious.widgets.cpufreq, function (widget, args)
			return args[1] .. ' Mhz ' .. args[5]
			end, 5, 'cpu0')

mine's pretty plain; just an added statusbar with some vicious widgets and a call to ps to get the top process.

does anyone know why a wibox (and drawins in general) can be set to "normal" and "ontop" but not "above" (the default state for pretty much every other panel-type thing)? it's particularly annoying with shadows enabled because other windows' shadows get drawn on top of the wibox. i had to set compton to only draw shadows for type=dock. clients can be set to above just fine...

Hello, I don't have any pictures to share, but seeing as I copied 90% of my config from this thread, I thought I'd add something to the discussion:

Here's my function for moving or resizing clients to a predefined position - I have the functions with different arguments bound to some clientkeys in my rc.lua
There's probably better ways out there, but I didn't find them, and in case someone else can't either they can copy this.

rettab = {}
-- {{{ Client snap-to functions
-- {{{ Position definitions
-- To change the defined positions, just modify these three tables.
-- All values are in percentage of workarea, borders are from edge of monitor
local abstract_borders = {top=0.008, side=0.006}

local abstract_sizes = {small={0.35, 0.5}, normal={0.43, 0.44}, long={0.3, 0.987}}

local abstract_positions = {tl=function(g) return {borders['top'], borders['left']} end,
                            tr=function(g) return {borders['top'], borders['right'] - g.width} end,
                            bl=function(g) return {borders['bottom'] - g.height, borders['left']} end,
                            br=function(g) return {borders['bottom'] - g.height,
                                                   borders['right'] - g.width} end,
                            center=function(g) return {wa.height/2 - g.height/2,
                                                       wa.width/2 - g.width/2} end }
-- }}}

-- {{{ Moving
local function find_borders_in_pixels(wa)
    -- Converts the global abstract_borders into actual values based on workarea size
    -- gives borders in pixels away from workarea borders - does not account for
    -- multiple monitors or wiboxes (that is included later)
    local topval = math.floor(wa.height * abstract_borders.top)
    local bottomval = wa.height - topval
    local leftval = math.floor(wa.width * abstract_borders.side)
    local rightval = wa.width - leftval
    return {top=topval, bottom=bottomval, right=rightval, left=leftval}
end


function rettab.snap(c, scr, pos, wiboxhgt)
    -- c is client, pos is symbolic representation of position (e.g. 'tr')
    -- scr is screen (found through screen[c.screen]) 
    -- wiboxhgt is height in pixels of your wibox
    local cgeom = c:geometry()
    local scrgeom = scr.geometry
    wa = scr.workarea
    borders = find_borders_in_pixels(wa, cgeom)
    newgeom = {}
    -- Uses the fact that wa and borders are not defined as local
    newposition = abstract_positions[pos](cgeom)
    newgeom.y = newposition[1] + scrgeom.y + wiboxhgt
    newgeom.x = newposition[2] + scrgeom.x
    c:geometry(newgeom)
end
-- }}}

-- {{{ Resizing
local function create_actual_sizes(wa, sz)
    -- Converts abstract sizes into actual sizes based on work area size
    -- wa is workarea
    -- sz is symbolic size (e.g. 'small')
    local function actu(tab)
        return {height=math.floor(tab[1] * wa.height), width=math.floor(tab[2] * wa.width)}
    end
    pixel_sizes = {}
    for key, value in pairs(actu(abstract_sizes[sz])) do pixel_sizes[key]=value end
    return pixel_sizes
end

function rettab.resize(c, scr, size)
    -- c is client, scr is client screen (from screen[c.screen])
    -- size is symbolic size (e.g. 'normal')
    local cgeom = c:geometry()
    local wa = scr.workarea
    local scrgeom = scr.geometry
    local newgeom = create_actual_sizes(wa, size)
    newgeom.x, newgeom.y = cgeom.x, cgeom.y
    local borders = find_borders_in_pixels(wa)
    if cgeom.x + newgeom.width > borders.right + scrgeom.x  or cgeom.x + newgeom.height > borders.bottom + scrgeom.y then
        newgeom.x = newgeom.x - math.max(cgeom.x + newgeom.width - borders.right - scrgeom.x, 0)
        newgeom.y = newgeom.y - math.max(cgeom.y + newgeom.height - borders.bottom - scrgeom.y, 0)
    end
    c:geometry(newgeom)
end
-- }}}

-- }}}

You could combine the functions like

-- Assuming your wibox is 15 pixels high
function bottomleftsmall(c)
    resize(c, screen[c.screen], 'small')
    snap(c, screen[c.screen], 'bl', 15)
end

but I haven't (so this bit here is untested)

If your wibox is on the right or bottom - pass '0' as wibox height
If your wibox is on the left - add wiboxhgt to newgeom.x instead of newgeom.y in the snap function

Last time I tested it, this worked well on multiple monitors, but I may have introduced a bug since then.

Note: the 'rettab' is there because I define the functions in a separate file and include them with local funcs = require("myfunctions") where the 'myfunctions' module returns rettab.

I hacked awesome-vain too much I decided to create my own module instead: lain.

Like its precedessor, it's a set of complements for Awesome: layouts, widgets and utilities.

But it tries to stay out of your way, providing a lot of fancy stuff at the same time.

It will be part of awesome-copycats starting from version 2.0.

Some quick and not exhaustive screenshots:

Original ported vain can be found here.

yes, exactly. setting to ontop does that, but also makes them draw over the top of fullscreen windows. also, what file manager are you using for your desktop?
/me stops there to avoid overrunning everything with questions.

you can do something like this after setting the wibox to ontop

	
	c:connect_signal("property::fullscreen", function() 
		if c.fullscreen or awful.layout.get(c.screen) == awful.layout.suit.max.fullscreen then
			mywibox[c.screen].ontop = false
		else
			mywibox[c.screen].ontop = true
		end 
	end)
	for s =1, screen.count() do
	if awful.layout.get(s) == awful.layout.suit.max.fullscreen then
			mywibox[s].ontop = false
	end
	screen[s]:connect_signal("tag::history::update", function ()
		if (client.focus ~= nil and client.focus.fullscreen) or awful.layout.get(mouse.screen) == awful.layout.suit.max.fullscreen then
			mywibox[mouse.screen].ontop = false
		else
			mywibox[mouse.screen].ontop = true
		end  
	end)
	end

put it in the signals section in the end of your config

client.connect_signal("manage", function (c, startup)
...
here
...
end)

I'm using nemo with --no-desktop option
and freedesktop for desktop Icons

@mony: Nice! How did you manage to show only current tag?

First of all, i love your stuff and today installed it.
so i've choose favorite theme, run awesome and popup this error message:
/home/papungag/.config/awesome/lain/widgets/bat.lua:92: attempt to compare nil with number

whats the problem?

sardina · 2013-09-14 12:45:50

Thanks for liking.

The issue was pulled and fixed here. Git update to latest version.

PS: awesome-copycats 2.0 is out! new stuff soon.

PPS: do you think I should start a thread in community contributions?

I really like your desktop Jing. But how do you do to have cube? It seems like 3d. Is it compiz or conky maybe or the config in you rc.lua ?

nope its just the wallpaper...with conky overlayed on top, i'm not clever enough for that -.-' (tweaked this one with gimp http://zonters.com/image/2013/03/3D_Cubes.jpg )

sylflo · 2013-09-17 15:47:39

Ok, the effect is amazing, it was a good idea and I'm not clever enought to think to do that . And the icons on the left bottom, did you do it yourself with gimp? And the same goes for layout at the right up ?

Edit: I'll post a screenshot of my desktop, when I'll finish to configure it. I'm new to awesome, but I like it, love shortcuts and modify it like I want .

the icons came from
http://malysss.deviantart.com/art/malys … -298501868
i just modified the colors a bit ^^ same with the layout icons (from zenburn)
oh and http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/ … tent=32627 goes pretty well with the theme
