Awesome WM 3.4.1 help
I hope this thread is in the right section, if not, mods please move to the correct section.
I'm on Ubuntu (crunchbang actually) 9.04, and I've ventured to the world of the tiling WMs. Specifically, Awesome. I used 2.3.4 for quite a while, but have recently upgraded to 3.4.1. I've managed to get the vicious widgets working to display network, cpu, mem, etc., but the one thing that is driving me crazy is the statusbar icons. to avoid the tl,dr; Is there anyway to turn off the program icons in the status bar for the open programs? i.e. terminal, firefox, etc. Ive googled as well as I can with no luck, and the awesome wiki for this seems to be outdated, as its suggestion bricks my awesome config. Any help is greatly appreciated. |
Hello,
indeed the wiki is outdated for this. AFAIK there's no more option to disable the icons. But awesome being easily modified : Let's add that option ! Apply this patch to "/usr/share/awesome/lib/awful/widget/tasklist.lua" Code:
--- tasklist.old 2010-05-29 11:34:45.816804701 +0200 Code:
-- Create a tasklist widget Code:
-- Create a tasklist widget Hope this helps. |
Thanks for the reply.:)
I'll have to give this a shot tonight. I'll reply and let you know how it goes. Is there a specific place to place the patch in the file? |
The place to place it is where is has to go. You don't place the patch in the file, you have to apply it.
You can use the "patch" command for that, or understand the notation : Code:
