NOTICE: My configuration for AwesomeWM only works on the latest git master branch. On Arch based distros, all you would have to do is install awesome-git from the AUR. On others, you will have to build it manually.

Setup

This repository has submodules, so make sure you clone it correctly:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/JavaCafe01/awesome-config.git ~/.config/awesome

Common Questions

Where did I steal ears from?

It was taken from elenapan.

How are you getting anti-aliased rounded corners?

To start off, I do not round any corners with picom or any other fork. I round with AwesomeWM. If you round a widget and lay that ontop of another widget, the corners or anti-aliased (AA). Using this fact, all my panels and notifications are rounded widgets which contain a bottom transparent layer. For the clients, you do the same thing but with titlebars.

But how did I get shadows? Usually, when you add shadows, it shadows the transparent widget as well, like this:

In picom, if you edit the wintypes option by adding full-shadow = true for every window type you need, you will fix that problem:

wintypes:
{
# ...
    normal = {full-shadow = true;};
# ...
};

Here is the result:

Currently I don't have shadows, but I can easily just enable it in picom and still retain my AA corners.
