About This Config
This is the awesome window manager configuration of Derek Taylor (DistroTube)
- My YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/c/DistroTube
- My GitLab: http://www.gitlab.com/dwt1/
My awesome window manager configuration. Keep in mind, that my configs are purposely bloated with examples of what you can do with awesome. It is written more as a study guide rather than a config that you should download and use. Take what works for you; leave the rest!
Features of Awesome
- Simple enough for beginner's but flexible enough for the power user.
- Extremely customizable, maybe more so than any other window manager.
- Configured in Lua.
- A documented API to configure and define the behavior of your window manager.
Libraries
These are Lua modules that we must import so that we can use their functions later in the config.
local awesome, client, mouse, screen, tag = awesome, client, mouse, screen, tag
local ipairs, string, os, table, tostring, tonumber, type = ipairs, string, os, table, tostring, tonumber, type
-- Standard awesome library
local gears = require("gears") --Utilities such as color parsing and objects
local awful = require("awful") --Everything related to window managment
require("awful.autofocus")
-- Widget and layout library
local wibox = require("wibox")
-- Theme handling library
local beautiful = require("beautiful")
-- Notification library
local naughty = require("naughty")
naughty.config.defaults['icon_size'] = 100
local lain = require("lain")
local freedesktop = require("freedesktop")
-- Enable hotkeys help widget for VIM and other apps
-- when client with a matching name is opened:
local hotkeys_popup = require("awful.hotkeys_popup").widget
require("awful.hotkeys_popup.keys")
local my_table = awful.util.table or gears.table -- 4.{0,1} compatibility
Error Handling
Check if awesome encountered an error during startup and fell back to another config (This code will only ever execute for the fallback config)
if awesome.startup_errors then
naughty.notify({ preset = naughty.config.presets.critical,
title = "Oops, there were errors during startup!",
text = awesome.startup_errors })
end
-- Handle runtime errors after startup
do
local in_error = false
awesome.connect_signal("debug::error", function (err)
-- Make sure we don't go into an endless error loop
if in_error then return end
in_error = true
naughty.notify({ preset = naughty.config.presets.critical,
title = "Oops, an error happened!",
text = tostring(err) })
in_error = false
end)
end
Auto start windowless processes
local function run_once(cmd_arr)
for _, cmd in ipairs(cmd_arr) do
awful.spawn.with_shell(string.format("pgrep -u $USER -fx '%s' > /dev/null || (%s)", cmd, cmd))
end
end
run_once({ "unclutter -root" }) -- entries must be comma-separated
Setting our theme
We can have multiple themes available to us and set the one we want to use with chosen_theme.
local themes = {
"powerarrow", -- 1
}
-- choose your theme here
local chosen_theme = themes[1]
local theme_path = string.format("%s/.config/awesome/themes/%s/theme.lua", os.getenv("HOME"), chosen_theme)
beautiful.init(theme_path)
Variable definitions
It's nice to assign values to stuff that you will use more than once in the config. Setting values for things like font, terminal and editor means you only have to change the value here to make changes globally.
local modkey = "Mod4"
local altkey = "Mod1"
local ctrlkey = "Control"
local terminal = "alacritty"
local browser = "qutebrowser"
local editor = os.getenv("EDITOR") or "vim"
local emacs = "emacsclient -c -a 'emacs' "
local mediaplayer = "mpv"
local soundplayer = "ffplay -nodisp -autoexit " -- The program that will play system sounds
Tags and Layouts
Tags are essentially our workspaces. There are a ton of layouts available in awesome. I have most of them commented out, but if you want to try them out, then simply uncomment them.

awful.util.terminal = terminal

Menu
Awesome has a menu system if you want to use it.
local myawesomemenu = {
{ "hotkeys", function() return false, hotkeys_popup.show_help end },
{ "manual", terminal .. " -e 'man awesome'" },
{ "edit config", "emacsclient -c -a emacs ~/.config/awesome/rc.lua" },
{ "arandr", "arandr" },
{ "restart", awesome.restart },
}
awful.util.mymainmenu = freedesktop.menu.build({
icon_size = beautiful.menu_height or 16,
before = {
{ "Awesome", myawesomemenu, beautiful.awesome_icon },
--{ "Atom", "atom" },
-- other triads can be put here
},
after = {
{ "Terminal", terminal },
{ "Log out", function() awesome.quit() end },
{ "Sleep", "systemctl suspend" },
{ "Restart", "systemctl reboot" },
{ "Exit", "systemctl poweroff" },
-- other triads can be put here
}
})
--menubar.utils.terminal = terminal -- Set the Menubar terminal for applications that require it
System Sounds
Available sounds that are part of the default dtos-sounds
package include:
- menu-01.mp3
- menu-02.mp3
- menu-03.mp3
- shutdown-01.mp3
- shutdown-02.mp3
- shutdown-03.mp3
- startup-01.mp3

- startup-03.mp3
local soundDir = "/opt/dtos-sounds/" -- The directory that has the sound files
local startupSound = soundDir .. "startup-01.mp3"
local shutdownSound = soundDir .. "shutdown-01.mp3"
local dmenuSound = soundDir .. "menu-01.mp3"
Screen and wallpaper
You can set wallpaper with awesome. This is optional, of course. Otherwise, just set wallpaper with your preferred wallpaper utility (such as nitrogen or feh).
-- Re-set wallpaper when a screen's geometry changes (e.g. different resolution)
screen.connect_signal("property::geometry", function(s)
-- Wallpaper
if beautiful.wallpaper then
local wallpaper = beautiful.wallpaper
-- If wallpaper is a function, call it with the screen
if type(wallpaper) == "function" then
wallpaper = wallpaper(s)
end
gears.wallpaper.maximized(wallpaper, s, true)
end
end)
-- Create a wibox for each screen and add it
awful.screen.connect_for_each_screen(function(s) beautiful.at_screen_connect(s) end)
Mouse bindings
Defining what our mouse clicks do.
root.buttons(my_table.join(
awful.button({ }, 3, function () awful.util.mymainmenu:toggle() end),
awful.button({ }, 4, awful.tag.viewnext),
awful.button({ }, 5, awful.tag.viewprev)
))
