Hello, I have just started using Awesome (having switched from running
ion for years) and I am attempting to customize it to the way I like.
I run gkrellm to monitor my system, and I would like it to run in its
own "frame". Further, in the main "frame" I would like all new
application windows to appear, and fill the frame.
I think in Awesome terminology what I need is a tiled layout, and two
tiles side-by-side. In one tile I would like it to embed a maxed layout
for all new applications. Also I would like the gkrellm tile to be
shrunk in width to just fit gkrellm.
So I think the first step in getting this configuration is to make
gkrellm not float. I have taken the default rc.lua and copied it into my
~/.config/awesome/rc.lua file.
I attempted to prevent gkrellm from floating by modifying floatapps like
this:
["gkrellm"] = false,
or
["Gkrellm"] = false,
or
["gkrellm2"] = false,
or
["Gkrellm2"] = false,
Also I have added my own hook:
awful.hooks.manage.register(function (c)
if c.name:find("gkrellm") then
c.floatting = false
end
end)
or
awful.hooks.manage.register(function (c)
if c.name:find("Gkrellm") then
c.floatting = false
end
end)
or
awful.hooks.manage.register(function (c)
if c.name:find("gkrellm2") then
c.floatting = false
end
end)
or
awful.hooks.manage.register(function (c)
if c.name:find("Gkrellm2") then
c.floatting = false
end
end)
And none of these works.
This works:
awful.hooks.manage.register(function (c)
c.floating = false
end)
As does modifying the default awful.hooks.manage.register function to
-- if floatapps[cls] then
-- awful.client.floating.set(c, floatapps[cls])
-- elseif
-- awful.client.floating.set(c, floatapps[ints])
-- end
awful.client.floating.set(c, false)
Of course these two changes affect all applications. I'm just trying to
get gkrellm to not float.
The relevant parts of xprop for this application are:
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "gkrellm", "Gkrellm"
WM_NAME(STRING) = "gkrellm"
I'm running Awesome 3.2.1. Any assistance is appreciated.
