SYNOPSIS

awesome [ -v | --version ] [ -h | --help ] [ --config | -c configuration file ]

|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
+awesome+ is a window manager for X. It manages windows in different layouts, like
|
|
floating or tiled. Either layout can be applied dynamically, optimizing the
|
|
environment for the application in use and the task performed.
|
|
|
|
In tiled layout windows are managed in a master and stacking area. The master
|
|
area contains the windows which currently need most attention, whereas the
|
|
stacking area contains all other windows. In floating layout windows can be
|
|
resized and moved freely. Dialog windows are always managed floating,
|
|
regardless of the layout applied. The spiral and dwindle layout are special cases
|
|
of the tiled layout where the stacking area is arranged in a spiral for the
|
|
former or as a rectangular fractal for the later.
|
|
|
|
Windows are grouped by tags. Each window can be tagged with one or multiple
|
|
tags. Selecting certain tags displays all windows with these tags.
|
|
|
|
awesome contains a small status bar which displays all available tags, the layout,
|
|
the title of the focused window, and a status text. A
|
|
floating window is indicated with an empty circle and a maximized
|
|
floating window is indicated with a circle square before the windows
|
|
title. The selected tags are indicated with a different color. The tags of
|
|
the focused window are indicated with a filled square in the top left
|
|
corner. The tags which are applied to one or more windows are indicated
|
|
with an empty square in the top left corner.
|
|
awesome can draw a small border around windows to indicate the focus state.

BUGS
|
|
----
|
|
Of course there's no bug in awesome. But there may be unexpected behaviours.
|
|
|
|
Java applications which use the XToolkit/XAWT backend may draw grey windows
|
|
only. The XToolkit/XAWT backend breaks ICCCM-compliance in recent JDK 1.5 and early
|
|
JDK 1.6 versions, because it assumes a reparenting window manager. As a workaround
|
|
you can use JDK 1.4 (which doesn't contain the XToolkit/XAWT backend) or you
|
|
can set the following environment variable (to use the older Motif
|
|
backend instead): AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit
