There's a way, but I don't see why we would need it. awesome just knows about its basic objects, it does need to call any other method that you may have added to the basic class, or to a subclass of a basic class. > The userdata is just really awkward to work with in Lua, you'll end up > needing to implement this and that in C to get what you need in Lua... Well, no offense, but that's more than a feeling that any objective point. You need to bring fact ang real arguments or criticize something that is currently done in awesome, rather than "it's awkward". :) > Yeah, it wouldn't 'reset' things.

Default config is probably the last thing I'll ever wrote for awesome, because, seriously, everyone gotta have his own idea about it. > I've thought about having modules too, but maybe its not needed, and > maybe it could case problems... some parts of the config are (or could > be for some users) interconnected. It could cause problems too. Again, you need real arguments and/or examples. > Sure, I thought of that too, just didn't think its even worth mentioning :) > I think all of the attributes should have defaults if possible, so that > ideally constructor can have no arguments.

That's how basic objects are implemented. -- Julien Danjou // ᐰ <[email protected]> http://julien.danjou.info // 9A0D 5FD9 EB42 22F6 8974 C95C A462 B51E C2FE E5CD // There is nothing under this line.
