Currently, there are **8** layouts.
lain/layout
.
|-- termfair
|-- centerfair
|-- cascade
|-- cascadetile
|-- centerwork
|-- uselessfair
|-- uselesspiral
`-- uselesstile
Just add your favourites to ``layouts`` table:
layouts =
{
...
lain.layout.termfair,
lain.layout.uselesstile,
...
}
Or set them on specific tags like this:
awful.layout.set(lain.layout.uselessfair, tags[1][7])
How do layouts work?
=========================
termfair
--------
I do a lot of work on terminals. The common tiling algorithms usually
maximize windows, so you'll end up with a terminal that has about 200
columns or more. That's way too much. Have you ever read a manpage in a
terminal of this size?
This layout restricts the size of each window. Each window will have the
same width but is variable in height. Furthermore, windows are
left-aligned. The basic workflow is as follows (the number above the
screen is the number of open windows, the number in a cell is the fixed
number of a client):
(1) (2) (3)
+---+---+---+ +---+---+---+ +---+---+---+
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| 1 | | | -> | 2 | 1 | | -> | 3 | 2 | 1 | ->
| | | | | | | | | | | |
+---+---+---+ +---+---+---+ +---+---+---+
(4) (5) (6)
+---+---+---+ +---+---+---+ +---+---+---+
| 4 | | | | 5 | 4 | | | 6 | 5 | 4 |
+---+---+---+ -> +---+---+---+ -> +---+---+---+
| 3 | 2 | 1 | | 3 | 2 | 1 | | 3 | 2 | 1 |
+---+---+---+ +---+---+---+ +---+---+---+
The first client will be located in the left column. When opening
another window, this new window will be placed in the left column while
moving the first window into the middle column. Once a row is full,
another row above it will be created.
Default number of columns and rows are respectively taken from `nmaster`
and `ncol` values in `awful.tag`, but you can set your own.
For example, this sets `termfair` to 3 columns and at least 1 row:
lain.layout.termfair.nmaster = 3
lain.layout.termfair.ncol = 1
centerfair
----------
Similar to `termfair`, but with fixed number of vertical columns. Cols are centerded until there are `nmaster` columns, then windows are stacked as slaves, with possibly `ncol` clients per column at most.
(1) (2) (3)
+---+---+---+ +-+---+---+-+ +---+---+---+
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 1 | | -> | | 1 | 2 | | -> | 1 | 2 | 3 | ->
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
+---+---+---+ +-+---+---+-+ +---+---+---+
(4) (5)
+---+---+---+ +---+---+---+
| | | 3 | | | 2 | 4 |
+ 1 + 2 +---+ -> + 1 +---+---+
| | | 4 | | | 3 | 5 |
+---+---+---+ +---+---+---+
Like `termfair`, default number of columns and rows are respectively taken from `nmaster`
and `ncol` values in `awful.tag`, but you can set your own.
For example:
lain.layout.centerfair.nmaster = 3
lain.layout.centerfair.ncol = 1
cascade
-------
Cascade all windows of a tag.
You can control the offsets by setting these two variables:
lain.layout.cascade.cascade_offset_x = 64
lain.layout.cascade.cascade_offset_y = 16
The following reserves space for 5 windows:
lain.layout.cascade.nmaster = 5
That is, no window will get resized upon the creation of a new window,
unless there's more than 5 windows.
cascadetile
-----------
Similar to `awful.layout.suit.tile` layout, however, clients in the slave
column are cascaded instead of tiled.
Left column size can be set, otherwise is controlled by `mwfact` of the
tag. Additional windows will be opened in another column on the right.
New windows are placed above old windows.
Whether the slave column is placed on top of the master window or not is
controlled by the value of `ncol`. A value of 1 means "overlapping slave column"
and anything else means "don't overlap windows".
Usage example:
lain.layout.cascadetile.cascade_offset_x = 2
lain.layout.cascadetile.cascade_offset_y = 32
lain.layout.cascadetile.extra_padding = 5
lain.layout.cascadetile.nmaster = 5
lain.layout.ncol = 1
`extra_padding` reduces the size of the master window if "overlapping
slave column" is activated. This allows you to see if there are any
windows in your slave column.
Setting `cascade_offset_x` to a very small value or even 0 is reccommended to avoid wasting space.
centerwork
----------
You start with one window, centered horizontally:
+--------------------------+
| +----------+ |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | MAIN | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| +----------+ |
+--------------------------+
This is your main working window. You do most of the work right here.
Sometimes, you may want to open up additional windows. They're put in
the following four slots:
+--------------------------+
| +---+ +----------+ +---+ |
| | | | | | | |
| | 0 | | | | 1 | |
| | | | | | | |
| +---+ | MAIN | +---+ |
| +---+ | | +---+ |
| | | | | | | |
| | 2 | | | | 3 | |
| | | | | | | |
| +---+ +----------+ +---+ |
+--------------------------+
Yes, the number "four" is fixed. In total, you can only have five open
windows with this layout. Additional windows are not managed and set to
floating mode. **This is intentional**.
You can set the order of the four auxiliary windows. This is the default
configuration:
lain.layout.centerwork.top_left = 0
lain.layout.centerwork.top_right = 1
lain.layout.centerwork.bottom_left = 2
lain.layout.centerwork.bottom_right = 3
This means: The bottom left slot will be occupied by the third window
(not counting the main window). Suppose you want your windows to appear
in this order:
+--------------------------+
| +---+ +----------+ +---+ |
| | | | | | | |
| | 3 | | | | 0 | |
| | | | | | | |
| +---+ | MAIN | +---+ |
| +---+ | | +---+ |
| | | | | | | |
| | 2 | | | | 1 | |
| | | | | | | |
| +---+ +----------+ +---+ |
+--------------------------+
This would require you to use these settings:
lain.layout.centerwork.top_left = 3
lain.layout.centerwork.top_right = 0
lain.layout.centerwork.bottom_left = 2
lain.layout.centerwork.bottom_right = 1
*Please note:* If you use Awesome's default configuration, navigation in
this layout may be very confusing. How do you get from the main window
to satellite ones depends on the order in which the windows are opened.
Thus, use of `awful.client.focus.bydirection()` is suggested.
Here's an example:
globalkeys = awful.util.table.join(
...
awful.key({ modkey }, "j",
function()
awful.client.focus.bydirection("down")
if client.focus then client.focus:raise() end
end),
awful.key({ modkey }, "k",
function()
awful.client.focus.bydirection("up")
if client.focus then client.focus:raise() end
end),
awful.key({ modkey }, "h",
function()
awful.client.focus.bydirection("left")
if client.focus then client.focus:raise() end
end),
awful.key({ modkey }, "l",
function()
awful.client.focus.bydirection("right")
if client.focus then client.focus:raise() end
end),
...
)
uselessfair, uselesspiral & uselesstile
---------------------------------------
These are duplicates of the stock `fair`, `spiral` and `tile` layouts.
However, "useless gaps" (see below) have been added.
Useless gaps
============
Useless gaps are gaps between windows. They are "useless" because they
serve no special purpose despite increasing overview. I find it easier
to recognize window boundaries if windows are set apart a little bit.
The `uselessfair` layout, for example, looks like this:
+================+
# #
# +---+ +---+ #
# | 1 | | | #
# +---+ | | #
# | 3 | #
# +---+ | | #
# | 2 | | | #
# +---+ +---+ #
# #
+================+
All of lain layouts provide useless gaps. To set the width of the gaps,
you have to add an item called `useless_gap_width` in your `theme.lua`.
If it doesn't exist, the width will default to 0.
Example:
theme.useless_gap_width = 10
What about layout icons?
========================
They are located in ``lain/icons/layout``.
To use them, add lines to your ``theme.lua`` like this:
theme.lain_icons = os.getenv("HOME") .. "/.config/awesome/lain/icons/layout/default/"
theme.layout_termfair = theme.lain_icons .. "termfairw.png"
theme.layout_cascade = theme.lain_icons .. "cascadew.png"
theme.layout_cascadetile = theme.lain_icons .. "cascadetilew.png"
theme.layout_centerwork = theme.lain_icons .. "centerworkw.png"
Credits goes to [Nicolas Estibals](https://github.com/nestibal) for creating
layout icons for default theme.
You can use them as a template for your custom versions.

markup
------
Made markup easier!
First, require it like this:
local markup = lain.util.markup
then you can call its functions:
+-- markup
|
|`-- bold() Set bold.
|`-- italic() Set italicized text.
|`-- strike() Set strikethrough text.
|`-- underline() Set underlined text.
|`-- monospace() Set monospaced text.
|`-- big() Set bigger text.
|`-- small() Set smaller text.
|`-- font() Set the font of the text.
|
|`--+ bg
| |
| |`-- color() Set background color.
| |`-- focus() Set focus background color.
| |`-- normal() Set normal background color.
| `-- urgent() Set urgent background color.
|
|`--+ fg
| |
| |`-- color() Set foreground color.
| |`-- focus() Set focus foreground color.
| |`-- normal() Set normal foreground color.
| `-- urgent() Set urgent foreground color.
|
|`-- focus() Set both foreground and background focus colors.
|`-- normal() Set both foreground and background normal colors.
`-- urgent() Set both foreground and background urgent colors.
they all take one argument, which is the text to markup, except `fg.color` and `bg.color`:
markup.fg.color(text, color)
markup.bg.color(text, color)
dynamic tagging
---------------
That is:
- add a new tag;
- rename current tag;
- move current tag;
- remove current tag.
If you delete a tag, any rule set on it shall be broken, so be careful.
Use it with key bindings like these:
awful.key({ modkey, "Shift" }, "n", function () lain.util.add_tag(mypromptbox) end),
awful.key({ modkey, "Shift" }, "r", function () lain.util.rename_tag(mypromptbox) end),
awful.key({ modkey, "Shift" }, "Left", function () lain.util.move_tag(1) end), -- move to next tag
awful.key({ modkey, "Shift" }, "Right", function () lain.util.move_tag(-1) end), -- move to previous tag
awful.key({ modkey, "Shift" }, "d", function () lain.util.remove_tag() end),
**Note** that these function won't work properly with [Copland theme](https://github.com/copycat-killer/awesome-copycats) or any other configuration that already uses a dynamic tagging module like [Eminent](https://github.com/copycat-killer/awesome-copycats/tree/master/eminent).
useless\_gaps\_resize
---------------------
Changes `beautiful.useless_gaps_width` on the fly.
The function takes an integer argument, being the amount of pixel to add/remove to gaps.
You could use it with these keybindings:
-- On the fly useless gaps change
awful.key({ altkey, "Control" }, "+", function () lain.util.useless_gaps_resize(1) end),
awful.key({ altkey, "Control" }, "-", function () lain.util.useless_gaps_resize(-1) end),
where `altkey=Mod1`, or you could use it like this:
mywidget:buttons(awful.util.table.join (
awful.button({}, 4, function() lain.util.useless_gaps_resize(-1) end),
awful.button({}, 5, function() lain.util.useless_gaps_resize(1) end)
end)
))
so when hovering the mouse over `mywidget`, you can adjust useless gaps size by scrolling with the mouse wheel.
tag\_view\_nonempty
-------------------
This function lets you jump to the next/previous non-empty tag.
It takes two arguments:
* `direction`: `1` for next non-empty tag, `-1` for previous.
* `sc`: Screen which the taglist is in. Default is `mouse.screen` or `1`. This
argument is optional.
You can use it with key bindings like these:
-- Non-empty tag browsing
awful.key({ altkey }, "Left", function () lain.util.tag_view_nonempty(-1) end),
awful.key({ altkey }, "Right", function () lain.util.tag_view_nonempty(1) end),
where `altkey = "Mod1"`.
menu\_clients\_current\_tags
----------------------------
Similar to `awful.menu.clients`, but this menu only shows the clients
of currently visible tags. Use it with a key binding like this:
awful.key({ "Mod1" }, "Tab",
function()
awful.menu.menu_keys.down = { "Down", "Alt_L", "Tab", "j" }
awful.menu.menu_keys.up = { "Up", "k" }
lain.util.menu_clients_current_tags({ width = 350 }, { keygrabber = true })
end),
magnify\_client
---------------
Set a client to floating and resize it in the same way the "magnifier"
layout does it. Place it on the "current" screen (derived from the mouse
position). This allows you to magnify any client you wish, regardless of
the currently used layout. Use it with a client keybinding like this:
clientkeys = awful.util.table.join(
...
awful.key({ modkey, "Control" }, "m", lain.util.magnify_client),
...
)
If you want to "de-magnify" it, just retype the keybinding.
niceborder\_{focus, unfocus}
----------------------------
By default, your `rc.lua` contains something like this:
client.connect_signal("focus", function(c) c.border_color = beautiful.border_focus end)
client.connect_signal("unfocus", function(c) c.border_color = beautiful.border_normal end)
You can change it to this:
client.connect_signal("focus", lain.util.niceborder_focus(c))
client.connect_signal("unfocus", lain.util.niceborder_unfocus(c))
Now, when a client is focused or unfocused, Awesome will look up its
nice value in `/proc/<pid>/stat`. If it's less than 0, the client is
classified as "high priority"; if it's greater than 0, the client is
classified as "low priority". If it's equal to 0, nothing special
happens.
This requires to define additional colors in your `theme.lua`. For example:
theme.border_focus_highprio = "#FF0000"
theme.border_normal_highprio = "#A03333"
theme.border_focus_lowprio = "#3333FF"
theme.border_normal_lowprio = "#333366"

General usage
-------------
Every widget is output by a `function`.
For some widgets, `function` returns a `wibox.widget.textbox`, for others a table to be used for notification and update purposes.
Every widget may take either a table or a list of variables as argument.
If it takes a table, you have to define a function variable called `settings` in it, in order to make your customizations.
To markup the textbox, call `widget:set_markup(...)` within `settings`.
You can feed `set_markup` with predefined arguments, see the sections for all the details.
`widget` is a textbox, so you can threat it like any other `wibox.widget.textbox`.
Here follows an example:
mycpu = lain.widgets.cpu({
timeout = 4,
settings = function()
widget:set_markup("Cpu " .. cpu_now.usage)
end
})

Creates a thin wibox at a position relative to another wibox.
This allows to create "borders" for your wiboxes.
lain.widget.borderbox(relbox, s, args)
`relbox` and `s` (an integer being screen number) are required arguments, `args` is an optional table
which can contain:
Variable | Meaning | Type | Default
--- | --- | --- | ---
`position` | Position of the additional box | string | "above"
`color` | Color of the additional box | string | `#FFFFFF`
`size` | Size in pixels of the additional box | int | 1
Possible values for `.position`: `top`, `bottom`, `left` and `right`.
### Example usage
Think of this as a wibox:
[======================]
If `args.position = "above"`, then you'll get an additional wibox below
the existing one:
________________________
[======================]
It'll match position and size of the existing wibox.
If your main wiboxes are stored in a table called `mywibox` (one wibox
for each screen) and are located at the bottom of your screen, then this
adds a borderbox on top of them:
-- Layout section
for s = 1, screen.count() do

-- Most likely, you'll want to do this as well:
awful.screen.padding(screen[s], "bottom")
-- Create the box and place it above the existing box.

Attaches a calendar notification to a widget.
lain.widgets.calendar:attach(widget, args)
- Left click: switch to previous month.
- Right click: switch to next month.
`args` is an optional table which can contain:
Variable | Meaning | Type | Default
--- | --- | --- | ---
`icons` | Path to calendar icons | string | [lain/icons/cal/white](https://github.com/copycat-killer/lain/tree/master/icons/cal/white)
`font_size` | Calendar font size | int | 12
`fg` | Calendar foreground color | string | `beautiful.fg_normal`
`bg` | Calendar background color | string | `beautiful.bg_normal`
`position` | Calendar position | string | "top_right"
`position` possible values are defined [here](http://awesome.naquadah.org/doc/api/modules/naughty.html#notify).
Notification will show an icon displaying current day, and formatted output
from ``cal`` with current day highlighted.
You can call the notification with a key binding like this:
awful.key({ altkey }, "c", function () lain.widgets.calendar:show(7) end),
where ``altkey = "Mod1"`` and ``show`` argument is an optional integer, meaning timeout seconds.
**Note that** this widget exploits ``cal`` to do the alignment, in order to avoid more dozens of code lines, but this requires that your system font is monospaced.

Shows disk space usage for a set partition.
Displays a notification when the partition is full or has low space.

### input table
Variable | Meaning | Type | Default
--- | --- | --- | ---
`timeout` | Refresh timeout seconds -| int | 600
`partition` | Partition to monitor | string | "/"
`settings` | User settings | function | empty function
`settings` can use the following `partition` related float values: `fs_now.used`, `fs_now.available`, `fs_now.size_mb`, `fs_now.size_gb`.
It can also use value strings in these formats:
fs_info[p .. "used_p"]
fs_info[p .. "avail_p"]
fs_info[p .. "size_mb"]
fs_info[p .. "size_gb"]
where `p` is the last column of `df` command ("/", "/home", "/boot", ...).
This means you can set the widget for a certain partition, but you can look up at others too.
Finally, `settings` can modify `fs_notification_preset` table too. This table will be the preset for the naughty notifications. Check [here](http://awesome.naquadah.org/doc/api/modules/naughty.html#notify) for the list of variables it can contain. Default definition:
fs_notification_preset = { fg = beautiful.fg_normal }

Shows mail count in a textbox fetching over IMAP.
myimapcheck = lain.widgets.imap(args)
New mails are notified like this:
+--------------------------------------------+
| +---+ |
| |\ /| donald@disney.org has 3 new messages |
| +---+ |
+--------------------------------------------+
The function takes a table as argument. Required table parameters are:
Variable | Meaning | Type
--- | --- | ---
`server` | Mail server | string
`mail` | User mail | string
`password` | User password | string
while the optional are:
Variable | Meaning | Type | Default
--- | --- | --- | ---
`port` | IMAP port | int | 993
`timeout` | Refresh timeout seconds | int | 60
`is_plain` | Define whether `password` is a plain password (true) or a function that retrieves it (false) | boolean | false
`settings` | User settings | function
Let's focus better on `is_plain`.
The reason why it's false by default is to discourage the habit of storing passwords in plain.
So you can set your password in plain like this:
myimapcheck = lain.widgets.imap({
is_plain = true,
password = "myplainpassword",
[...]
})
and you'll have the same security provided by `~/.netrc`.
**Or** you can use a keyring, like [python keyring](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/keyring):
myimapcheck = lain.widgets.imap({
password = "keyring get mymail",
[...]
})
When `is_plain == false`, it *executes* `password` before using it, so you can also use whatever password fetching solution you want.
`settings` can use the value `mailcount`, an integer greater or equal to zero, and can modify `mail_notification_preset` table, which will be the preset for the naughty notifications. Check [here](http://awesome.naquadah.org/doc/api/modules/naughty.html#notify) for the list of variables it can contain.
Default definition:
mail_notification _preset = {
icon = lain/icons/mail.png,
position = "top_left"
}
Note that `mailcount` is 0 either if there are no new mails or credentials are invalid, so make sure you get the right settings.
### output
A textbox.

(YAhoo! Weather Notification)
Yawn provides brief and compact Yahoo! Weather notification.
Usage
-----
You can ``register`` Yawn to get a set of widgets, or ``attach`` it to
an existent widget.
### register
yawn = lain.widgets.yawn(id, args)
- ``id``
An integer that defines the WOEID code of your city.
To obtain it you can google 'yahoo weather %CITYNAME%' and follow the first link.
It will look like:
http://weather.yahoo.com/united-states/california/san-diego-2487889/
and the last number in that link will be the ID you need.
- ``args``
A required table which can contain:
Variables | Meaning | Type | Possible values | Default value
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
`u` | Units | string | "c" (Celsius), "f" (Fahrenheit) | "c"
`timeout` | Refresh timeout seconds | int | integers | 600
`settings` | User settings | function | function | empty function
`settings` can use strings `forecast`, `units`, and can modify `yawn_notification_preset` table, which
will be the preset for the naughty notifications. Check [here](http://awesome.naquadah.org/doc/api/modules/naughty.html#notify) for the list of variables it can contain.
The function `register` creates an imagebox icon and a textbox widget. Add them to you wibox like this:
right_layout:add(yawn.icon)
right_layout:add(yawn.widget)
Hovering over ``yawn.icon`` will display the notification.
### attach
lain.widgets.yawn.attach(widget, id, args)
Arguments:
- ``widget``
The widget which you want to attach Yawn to.
- ``id``
Same as in ``register``.
- ``args``
Same as in ``register``.
Hovering over ``widget`` will display the notification.
Popup shortcut
--------------
You can also create a keybinding for the weather popup like this:
awful.key( { "Mod1" }, "w", function () yawn.show(5) end )
where ``show`` argument is an integer defining timeout seconds.
Localization
------------
Default language is English, but Yawn can be localized.
Move to `localizations` subdirectory and fill `localization_template`.
Once you're done, rename it like your locale id. In my case:
$ lua
Lua 5.2.2 Copyright (C) 1994-2013 Lua.org, PUC-Rio
> print(os.getenv("LANG"):match("(%S*$*)[.]"))
it_IT
>
hence I named my file "it_IT" (Italian localization).
**NOTE:** If you create a localization, feel free to send me! I will add it.
