Awesome wm: second status bar, mpd and mail widget and xscreensaver

samuele.mattiuzzo · 2010-02-25 17:18:48

Hi guys, like the topic says i have troubles using those functionalities

i'd like to know how to set a now playing mpd widget and an email widget that tells me how many new mails i have... do they exist? how do i use them in awesome?
Other thing: i'd like xscreensaver to start at comand (by pressing fn+F2) where do i have to set up that?

last one: i tried to add a bottom statusbar to awesome, with nothing inside. suddenly awesome stopped seiing my Modkey and i couldn't interact with my top status bar... how do i set up a secondo working status bar with some widgets in it? where can i read something about that?

thanks all for your help!

The "Vicious" library provides an MPD widget, as well as widgets for your mail inbox and gmail. Here's a quite neat tutorial on setting up widgets in awesome.
