NAME

6       awesomerc - Configuration file for the awesome window manager
7

SYNOPSIS

9       awesome looks for a configuration file in this order:
10
11       •   $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/awesome/rc.lua
12
13       •   $HOME/.config/awesome/rc.lua
14
15       •   $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/awesome/rc.lua
16

DESCRIPTION

18       The rc.lua file contains configuration information for awesome. It can
19       be used to configure the behavior and look of awesome in a variety of
20       ways. It can be assimilated as a Lua program/script run at startup by
21       awesome. Therefore, it should use the awesome Lua API described in the
22       API section. This file is read at startup.
23

AWESOME LUA API

25       Documentation for the Lua API can be found in the luadoc directory.
26

COLORS FORMAT

28       The color format in awesome is either a standard X color name (blue,
29       darkblue, lightred, etc) or a hexadecimal formatted color (#rrggbb or
30       #rrggbbaa). By using the hexadecimal format, you can also specify an
31       alpha channel: that means that #00ff00 will draw pure green, but
32       #00ff00aa will set the alpha channel to ‘aa’ and will blend the green
33       with the color under it.
34

TEXT FORMAT

36       You can use Pango markup in a text string. This allows formatting the
37       text rendered inside widgets. Pango markup documentation can be found
38       in the Pango documentation at
39       http://library.gnome.org/devel/pango/stable/PangoMarkupFormat.html.

41       A Pango markup example: <span weight="bold"
42       foreground="#336699">...</span>.
