`wibox`Awesome own generic widget framework
`awful`Everything related to window managment
`awful.widget`Window management related widgets
`awful.layout`The default stateless client tiling module.
`ruled`Define declarative rules on various events
`naughty`Notifications
`menubar`XDG (application) menu implementation
