My original function for toggling the maximized state of a window was the one provided in the `awesomerc.lua.in' of the Git sources: awful.key({ modkey, "Control" }, "m", function (c) c.maximized_horizontal = not c.maximized_horizontal c.maximized_vertical = not c.maximized_vertical end) Now I started using the following extra few lines of code: awful.key({ modkey, "Control" }, "m", function (c) c.maximized_horizontal = not c.maximized_horizontal c.maximized_vertical = not c.maximized_vertical + + -- Remove border from windows that are maximized in both + -- directions, and then re-add the default theme border when + -- the window is restored. + if c.maximized_vertical and c.maximized_horizontal then + c.border_width = 0 + else + c.border_width</pre> Giorgos Keramidas 2012-05-26T17:53:59 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.window-managers.awesome/8810 <pre>-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi I just wanted to drop a big THANKS YOU to everybody who helped me so far getting into awesome's rc.lua - I think I am managing slowly. To explain: I started using te config at https://github.com/ierton/awesomerc-ierton/blob/laptop/myrc/keybind.lua and I am adapting it for me and adding comments. It is on github (https://github.com/rkrug/awesomerc-rkrug) but it is not nearly done. One of my next steps is to use shifty (which I really liked, but in my forst attempt caused inconsistent tag behaviour between screens). I will post my progress and hope that the documented config can become a useful resource for others, Cheers, Rainer - -- Rainer M.

I use Space2Ctrl program (you can find it on git), which remaps control to space if Space pressed together with another key. However it does not work, if I enable sticky keys using xkbset.

What I did notice with some update a week ago is that my mouse cursor in awesome tends to reset to X's default cursor when I launch applications (either via awesome menu or the run prompt). I know of the good old "xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr"-fix and I have an according directive in my .xinitrc. This does work as always but as soon as I launch an application the cursor gets reset again. I guess it has something to do with the cursor changing from the normal pointer to the "busy" pointer. I hope someone knows why the mouse cursor behavior changed and what can be done to reach the old behaviour again.

Parr 2012-05-14T13:41:57 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.window-managers.awesome/8752 <pre>Hi, I would like to implement border actions in my configuration, like in compiz, gnome 3 (at least I heard of that feature in gnome 3) or windows7. Basically, it could do anything once it's implemented; my own purpose limits to "manual tiling", eg. moving windows to the side and make them use 100% height and 50% width (aligned on the moved side). My problem is that nothing happens. Maybe signal property::x isn't the best way to start. A better way would be something like "startMoveClient", "grabClient" or such thing, running mousegrabber...the function could compare the mouse position to MAX_X or 0 as soon as mouse_btn1 is up again (no more comparing all the time), but I could not find such a signal. So here's the code, bugfixes and improvements welcome (it spills no errors, but doesn't work yet): client.add_signal("property::x", function(c) if (mouse.coords().x == screen[mouse.screen].workarea.geom.width) or (mouse.coords().x == 0) then -- set position of the client if (mous</pre> Thorsten Sperber 2012-05-14T09:38:03 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.window-managers.awesome/8751 <pre>Hi list.

Looks like a comprehensive documentation is not what for we much like awesome WM. Can someone give me a clue how to reverse scrolling direction in awful.widget.graph object (I use it to show processor load if this can help)? In many cultures the natural order of reading information is from left to right, and default direction of scrolling is a bit confusing for me and I believe for many people either. Also I see that awesome WM is very powerful &amp; flexible and I just don't know how to do what I want. So I need a little help.
