Not really. That's evolution: adapt or die. And that's how every part of awesome's code works. I'm sorry that people feel sad when their code disappears or is being modified and so, but awesome is still a moving target. Don't misread me, I don't want to be rude. I know you have paternity over most of this code, and I (and many people using this widgets) thank you for that. :-) For pbar and graph, I've been saying that their API is bad designed since the 3.1 version of awesome at least, as it's written in my "3.2 version TODO". And it has not been done by me, well, because it has been low prio until now. Until I felt the widget layout stuff coming from Gregor and that we did not need their things like "draw on top of each other", and so that they could be rewritten in a couple of hours. Which I did. I've adapted the 2 widgets in most parts, so old forms can go away. There's no reason to keep this both in the C core. Not at all. Rewritting them in Lua make them: - better documented; - more maintainable; - more evolutive; - more error proof. And remove various code duplication, actual and coming. > I actually meant the C code would be much faster compared to lua, Probably under extreme condition you are right. But I do prefer being pragmatic when I can.
