Awesome window manager config files

My configuration scripts for the Awesome window manager are available in a GIT repository.

Latest bleeding edge Awesome config scripts can be downloaded using the Git version control software by issuing the following command:

git clone git://git.bues.ch/awesome.git

To browse the Git repository online, go to the gitweb interface.

This Awesome config offers some interesting features, among these:

• Panel on the left side of the screen. This frees some vertical space, which is especially useful on netbooks with 16:9 widescreen.
• Per machine config by hostname. Special configuration files (named machine-HOSTNAME.lua) can be used to override certain options on a per-machine basis.
• Dynamic window borders. Don't show borders, if it is not necessary.
• Dynamic titlebar. Only show the titlebar for floating windows.
• Click on the clock opens the calendar application, specified in the CALENDAR_APP_GUI environment variable.
• Hovering the clock with the mouse pops up a life updating advanced clock.
• Easy autostart of applications by autostart.lua
• And a lot more bells and whistles.
