AWESOMERC(5)AWESOMERC(5)NAME
awesomerc - Configuration file for the awesome window manager
SYNOPSIS
awesome looks for a configuration file in this order:
o $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/awesome/rc.lua
o $HOME/.config/awesome/rc.lua
o XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/awesome/rc.lua
DESCRIPTION
The rc.lua file contains configuration information for awesome. 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. Therefore, it should use the awesome Lua API described in
the API section. This file is read at startup.
AWESOME LUA API
Documentation for the Lua API can be found in the luadoc directory.
COLORS FORMAT
The color format in awesome 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
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.
A Pango markup example: <span weight="bold" foreground="#336699">...</span>.
