I too was previously unaware of this, so I just tried it out.

That code will work anywhere. Well so long as your widgets have already been defined. You could put it just before the wibox loop, in the loop, after it, whatever.

Thanks, Guff. Kudos on the naughty meters for volume and brightness, too; once I have status widgets figured out, I'm gonna try to get naughty set up properly (right now, only Transmission gives me notifications when a transfer has finished; probably some dbus issue I'm overlooking or something).

I've seen all your setups and i have to ask, where do you find such awesome wallpapers?

Hours, upon hours, upon hours, at wallbase.

I finally took some time to polish the awesome theme, colorize some icons for widgets/bars and match the gtk theme.

Ah, nifty. So the notifications worked alright?

And in case you haven't seen, I did update the code a bit. Rather than having a function for each notification, I consolidated it into a more generic function that takes a percentage, a function that chooses the icon to use, and a notification handle (so that naughty knows which notification to replace) and returns the notification.
Not a big deal, but it should be easier to add other types of fancy notifications if one so desires.

I have been using awesome for a while now and slowly it starts to look exactly like I want to

@Him - Would you mind sharing your rc.lua? Also you need to change/update your "Website" link.
