Created Widgets (markdown)
[etc/awesome.git] / borderbox.md
1 Creates a thin wibox at a position relative to another wibox.
2
3 This allows to create "borders" for your wiboxes.
4
5         lain.widget.borderbox(relbox, s, args)
6
7 `relbox` and `s` (an integer being screen number) are required arguments, `args` is an optional table
8 which can contain:
9
10 Variable | Meaning | Type | Default
11 --- | --- | --- | ---
12 `position` | Position of the additional box | string | "above"
13 `color` | Color of the additional box | string | `#FFFFFF`
14 `size` | Size in pixels of the additional box | int | 1
15
16 Possible values for `.position`: `above`, `below`, `left` and `right`.
17
18 ### Example usage
19
20 Think of this as a wibox:
21
22         [======================]
23
24 If `args.position = "above"`, then you'll get an additional wibox below
25 the existing one:
26
27         ________________________
28         [======================]
29
30 It'll match position and size of the existing wibox.
31
32 If your main wiboxes are stored in a table called `mywibox` (one wibox
33 for each screen) and are located at the bottom of your screen, then this
34 adds a borderbox on top of them:
35
36     -- Layout section
37         for s = 1, screen.count() do
38         ...
39
40             -- Most likely, you'll want to do this as well:
41             awful.screen.padding(screen[s], { bottom = 1 })
42
43             -- Create the box and place it above the existing box.
44             lain.widgets.borderbox(mywibox[s], s, { position = "above" } )
