Re: Awesome launchbar

There is already an example of a 'launchbar' in the awesome config, assuming you're using 3:

-- Create a laucher widget
mylauncher = awful.widget.launcher({ name = "mylauncher",
                                     image = "/usr/share/awesome/icons/awesome16.png",
                                     command = terminal .. " -e man awesome"})

Just replace the image with your image, and the command can probably be replaced with an awful.spawn()
