Someone skilled should really take a look at making awesome-client bi directionnal. Having Lua output in awesome client would be… awesome. Cheers,

Re: get information from awesome ?

AFAIK, there is no way to do this with awesome-client in awesome-2, just by looking at the code and doing a grep sendto, the only placed used in in awesome-client, and the only place "recv" is used is in awesome, so its only one way. However, querying awesome and reacting to state changes would be easily done in awesome-3 with some lua scripting. Regards, Alex On Thu, Sep 4, 2008 at 4:27 PM, Joel CARNAT carnat.net> wrote:

get information from awesome ?

Joel CARNAT — 2008-09-04T20:27:37

Hello, I'm (still ;) using awesome 2.3.3. I know I can pipe commands to awesome-client to modify awesomewm. But can I get information from awesome ? For example, "echo 0 tag_viewnext | awesome-client" switches the actual tag. But can I know from within a script "which tag I am actually in ?" Another example, "echo 0 widget_tell mystatusbar myiconbox image "/usr/share/icon/awesome.png" sets the image of the myiconbox widget. But can I ask awesome, from a shell script, "what's the image filename of the myiconbox widget ?". TIA, Jo

Re: awesome-menu like behaviour in awesome3?

You might only write a completion function and use it to complete between your 10 choices _only_. Then use it in the same way that default awful.prompt.

awesome-menu like behaviour in awesome3?

Dan Poltawski — 2008-09-04T13:58:33

Hi, I'd like to create an awesome-menu like menu in awesome3 (a prompt with just, say 10 (shell generated) predefined choices), but i'm not sure how best to craft this with the lua api. Can anyone point me in the right direction to do this? thanks, Dan

That may be doable with keygrabber stuff.

Can you explain for people not using GNOME what you meant? Click on it? Or call c:raise() whenever you want.

move or resize floating client

bill lam — 2008-09-04T08:15:09

Hi, Is there any method to move or resize a floating client (window) similar to that available in gnome? Also sometimes a client is below another client in z-order, how to bring that to the front. I found that modkey+m can do the trick, is this the preferred way or there is a better way?

No, Java is hell bugged. Some JDK version may be OK, don't know. No problem with Flash so far.

Re: lost client

No, you're kinda screw in this case. I think it's a bug that awful does not check that. I'll fix for next rc.

Matías Graña — 2008-09-03T17:22:39

Hi! I'm using awesome-3. Sometimes, I hit Mod4+Shift+Ctrl+n, where n is the number of the tag I'm in. If at this time I have a client tagged only with tag n, then I lose this client. Is there any way I can recover the client? Hope the explanation is understandable. TIA,

Thank you very much. This also works fine for me. Just needs adding a blank TEXT line at the top because of wm statusbar.

I loved conky :) but I love awesome-widgets even more :) More compact. Just wanted to say - as ex-conky user I actually would be wondering, what 'still' conky users are missing on the awesome-statusbar.. cheers calmar
