Padding in awesome 2.3

Is there anyway to have a little space between the windows borders? It seems to be a option with the name border_padding, but it only appears in the French documentation, and I don't get where in .awesomerc I should write it.

thanks

i do not know this option but put it under "general". it is at the beginning of .awesomerc.

Re: Padding in awesome 2.3

I found where to write it, but it's not exactly what I wanted

screen {
    padding {
         top = x
         bottom = y
         left = z
         right = w
     }
}

But it's a padding from the corners of the screen, and doesn't affects the distance between the windows.
