[LUA] WindowManager: Awesome - Checking OS and assign different icon
Heyas
I'm having a bad time to fix this.
Code is just related samples, paths are edited, take: ~/.config/awesome as 'base/config' (dot) dir.
Situation:
Recently i actualy started to have 2 different kinds of gnu/linux installed, with this, the abition raised, to get a distro specific icon displayed in the shared WM configuration because of the shared /home partition.
After some tweakings i've managed to get the WM reloaded without issues, but still, no icon is displayed, in neither of the OS'.
rc.lua
Code:
-- Functions
-- Its just a workaround for an 'unstable' 'hwmon/hwmon[12]' definition of Fedora21 - Rawhide
-- Function (only) from: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4990990/lua-check-if-a-file-exists
function file_exists(name)
local f=io.open(name,"r")
if f~=nil then io.close(f) return true else return false end
end
-- Themes define colours, icons, and wallpapers
beautiful.init(awful.util.getdir("config") .. "/themes/sea/theme.lua")
os_icon = wibox.widget.imagebox()
if file_exists("/etc/favicon.png")
then -- Its either fedora or provides same functionality
os_icon:set_image(beautiful.icon_fedora)
naughty.notify({ preset = naughty.config.presets.critical, title = "Its fedora", text = err })
else -- Probably Arch
os_icon:set_image( beautiful.icon_arch )
naughty.notify({ preset = naughty.config.presets.critical, title = "Its arch", text = err })
end
-- Show the menu entry with icon
mylauncher = awful.widget.launcher({ image = beautiful.os_icon,
menu = mymainmenu })
There was an unrequired tailing ) at the theme definition in the source which caused the icon to be not displayed (and other things, i didnt count to this).
So for obvious reasons, you could not find an issue, for which i want to appologize and thank you for the read.
On the other hand, if you'd like to apply this to your AwesomeWM & Vicious widget theme, go ahead, its working.

Hello
Allthough i dont know LUA, despite its name, i do love the window manager that was created using that language.
By now, I'm enough familiar with LUA so i could adapt (most of) the recent changes so i have vicous widgets working again - by the means of no error messages on start up.
I... (1 Reply)
Heyas
I'm a fan of AwesomeWM, but i had failed to learn lua, though, i'm quite satisfied with the cofniguration i have by now.
Either way, i'd like to know if i could 'call' those XDG_XY_DIR variables which are located on my linux ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs.
While to call scripts i use... (0 Replies)
