Re: Share your Awesome(WM) desktop!

alterecco:
Im new to awesome and lua scripting in general, I just today wrote my own very_very_ basic lua alert script for weechat, works not so good.
But I'm having problems with yours, could you tell me where to put all files and such.

Will Email you with this too incase you forget to check this topic.

I don't exactly know, what your script does, but i have a script for weechat, whichs prints an alert (like echo -e '\a') on highlights and private messages in weechat. Then my urxvt window gehts urgent (urxvt*urgentOnBell: true  in .Xdefaults) and then awesome highlights the tag and the window, where the urgent signal comes from.

This weechat script is called beep and can be found on http://www.weechat.org/scripts/.
you can install it by putting the script in ~/.weechat/perl and load it with /perl load beep.pl (or you can put it in the autoload dir).

Re: Share your Awesome(WM) desktop!

I haven't been feeling bored enough to dive into theming Awesome yet (seems like it could take a while), so I'm pretty much all defaults.  My pride and joy on this setup is my left-side Conky.

Sorry, have been away travelling.

The process is more or less the same as for the beep script. The weechat script belongs in ~/.weechat/lua, and should be put in the autoload dir if you want it to load automatically. You should include the awesome widget in your rc.lua too... are you having problems with that part as well? What I do is have a folder ~/.config/awesome/widget where i place my widget files, and then in my rc i include them with require("widget.irc")

That should sort out the basics... let me know if you run into more problems. I will not be answering this weekend, but will get back to you first thing next week

Are the shortcuts automatically imported from your rc.lua? I assume not

May I see your conkyrc?

You don't need to learn lua at all but being familiar with its syntax certainly helps.

Re: Share your Awesome(WM) desktop!

Sorry for the question, how do I get to edit color schemes for cli applications (like ncmpc) , or even for commands output (like ls,...) ?

You can change your terminal color palette via ~/.Xdefaults, which will affect all terminal apps that use those color codes. There is a thread here where people have shared their colors, and lots more to be found if you snoop around the monthly screenshot threads.

Re: Share your Awesome(WM) desktop!

I'd rather not starting an OT but rly I've seen those and still I'm a bit confused, for example, I'm using ncmpc and it displays all white fonts...I guess that I've to specify a color scheme in my .Xdefault and then bind certain fields in ncmpc interface to corresponding colors in my .Xdefault , right ?

Re: Share your Awesome(WM) desktop!

Not sure about ncmpc, but I'm using ncmpcpp and you can define the colours in the ~/.ncmpcpp/config file. You can do the same in ~/ncmpc/config.

Not sure the code is compatible, but the colour stuff is at the bottom of the file:

####################################################
## this is example configuration file, copy it to ##
## ~/.ncmpcpp/config and set up your preferences  ##
####################################################
#
##### connection settings #####
#
## set it in order to make tag editor and renaming files work properly
#

~~~~~~~ blah blah blah ~~~~~~~~~ blah blah ~~~~~~ blah ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

#
##### colors definitions #####
#
#colors_enabled = "yes"
#
#empty_tag_color = "cyan"
#
header_window_color = "blue"
#
volume_color = "blue"
#
#state_line_color = "default"
#
#state_flags_color = "default"
#
main_window_color = "white"
#
#color1 = "white"
#
#color2 = "green"
#
main_window_highlight_color = "white"
#
progressbar_color = "blue"
#
#statusbar_color = "default"
#
alternative_ui_separator_color = "white"
#
active_column_color = "blue"
#
#window_border_color = "green"
#
#active_window_border = "red"
#

Edit:

In case you need some inspiration for your .Xdefaults (if you're not using urxvt, delete the urxvt*color and change the header part) [The first colour (eg. color1) is the dark version and the second (eg. color9) the light version (ie color1=red, color9=lightred)]:

URxvt*termName:    rxvt
URxvt*scrollBar:   false
URxvt*urlLauncher: firefox
URxvt*font:        xft:terminus:pixelsize=18
URxvt*background:  #262524
URxvt*foreground:  #a4a4a4

! COLOURS
! Black
URxvt*color0:    #000000
URxvt*color8:    #000000
! Red
URxvt*color1:    #bf4646
URxvt*color9:    #f48a8a
! Green
URxvt*color2:    #67b25f
URxvt*color10:   #a5d79f
! Yellow
URxvt*color3:    #cfc44e
URxvt*color11:   #e1da84
! Blue
URxvt*color4:    #516083
URxvt*color12:   #a2bbff
! Magenta
URxvt*color5:    #ca6eff
URxvt*color13:   #e2b0ff
! Cyan
URxvt*color6:    #92b2f8
URxvt*color14:   #bacdf8
! White
URxvt*color7:    #d5d5d5
URxvt*color15:   #d5d5d5

There isn't much to show, it's just the default theme with diff colors and the arch logo

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5213820/theme.lua

If you want the logo, just ask
