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) 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 reset the clients floating state to `false` (hit `Mod4`+`CTRL`+`Space`, for example). 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//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" 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"`. prompt\_rename\_tag ------------------- This function enables you to dynamically rename the current tag you have focused. You can use it with a key binding like this: awful.key({ modkey, "Shift" }, "r", function () lain.util.prompt_rename_tag(mypromptbox) end) Credits goes to [minism](https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1315135#p1315135). 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 as a button 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.
