Awesomerc 3.x

'''This is the man page of awesomerc version 3.4.1. It can also be used for a large part with previous versions 3.x, because the only difference is about the Pango and awesome marups in text string (since 3.2). Nevertheless, you may read their specific man pages if it is necessary.'''

NAME

awesomerc - Configuration file for the awesome window manager SYNOPSIS

awesome looks for a configuration file in this order: 

$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/awesome/rc.lua 



$HOME/.config/awesome/rc.lua 

<DD>

XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/awesome/rc.lua </DL>

DESCRIPTION</H2>

The rc.lua</B> file contains configuration information for awesome</B>. It can be used to configure the behavior and look of awesome in a variety of ways. It can be assimilated as a Lua program/script run at startup by awesome</B>. Therefore, it should use the awesome Lua API described in the API section. This file is read at startup. AWESOME LUA API</H2>

Documentation for the Lua API can be found in the luadoc directory. COLORS FORMAT</H2>

The color format in awesome</B> is either a standard X color name (blue, darkblue, lightred, etc) or a hexadecimal formatted color (#rrggbb or #rrggbbaa). By using the hexadecimal format, you can also specify an alpha channel: that means that #00ff00 will draw pure green, but #00ff00aa will set the alpha channel to 'aa' and will blend the green with the color under it. TEXT FORMAT</H2>

You can use Pango markup in a text string. This allows formating the text rendered inside widgets. Pango markup documentation can be found in the Pango documentation at http://library.gnome.org/devel/pango/stable/PangoMarkupFormat.html</B>.

A Pango markup example: &lt;span weight=&quot;bold&quot; foreground=&quot;#336699&quot;&gt;...&lt;/span&gt;. SEE ALSO</H2>
