[SOLVED]AwesomeWM awful.widget.prompt

Hello fellow archers.

Im new to awesome, so maybe my question a little bit lame, but i did search over the internet without any success. Im using AwesomeWM 3.5. Only found how to change awful.textbox with 'span'.

1. How I can change mypromptbox(awful.widget.prompt()) foreground color or any other text based widget(but not textbox) like keyboard layout etc?

2. And is it possible to somehow add a border of specific width and color to the wibox (for example to the bottom of the wibox if panel is at top)?

Any advices?

One of the lain widgets might solve the second point. https://github.com/copycat-killer/lain/ … derbox.lua

Hm, tested this lain widget and yes it adds border for wibox, but not as i need. Because in any tile modes or when a window is maximazid there is no effect at all, coz this border is stay below the windows. Did i do something wrong?

Re: [SOLVED]AwesomeWM awful.widget.prompt

Ok, added another blank wibox with just 1 px larger then my main wibox behind my main wibox + this lain widget to my main wibox = solved a problem as i needed.

    -- Create the wibox
    mywibox2[s] = awful.wibox({ position = "top", height = 26, screen = s })
    mywibox[s] = awful.wibox({ position = "top", height = 25, screen = s })


    -- Wibox border
    lain.widgets.borderbox(mywibox[s], s, { position = "bottom", color = "#B188BD" })

But seems like i did it wrong, maybe there is some less complicated solution? Can i change background for specific wibox?

Ok did it as i need.

Here is the code:

    mywibox2[s] = awful.wibox({ position = "top", height = 26, screen = s })
    mywibox2[s]:set_bg("#B188BD")
    mywibox[s] = awful.wibox({ position = "top", height = 25, screen = s })

Still need answer for the first question.

Ok, i have found the answer by myself.
You need to put needed widget inside a decorator wibox.widget.background and set_fg.
Close this please.
