protocol to speak to them. Given a textbox widget definition like this:
textbox mail {
default = 0
}
textbox time {}
We can update the boxes individually by going:
echo 0 tell_widget mail 10
echo 0 tell_widget time 12:01
Text boxes will dynamically resize to fit their contents. A textbox can be
cleared by going:
echo 0 tell_widget name
A text-box containing no text will take up 0 space in the bar, i.e. it will not
be visible at all
Textboxes now supersede statusbar_set_text, so this call has been removed.
awesome
=======
awesome is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X.
It's based on dwm.
Requirements
------------
In order to build awesome you need the Xlib header files, libconfuse and cairo.
Creating the man pages also requires recent versions of the asciidoc and xmlto
tools.
Installation
------------
Edit config.mk to match your local setup (awesome is installed into
the /usr/local namespace by default).
Afterwards enter the following command to build and install awesome (if
necessary as root):
make install
Running awesome
-----------
Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start awesome using startx
or to .xsession to start awesome using gdm/kdm/xdm...:
exec awesome
In order to connect awesome to a specific display, make sure that
the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:
DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec awesome
(This will start awesome on display :1 of the host foo.bar.)
Configuration
-------------
The configuration of awesome is done by creating a ~/.awesomerc file.
An example is provided in the sources.
