Hi. Recently, I found out about the uzbl browser[1]. This application is unique in that it tries to follow the UNIX philosophy as closely as possible. As a result, it does not provide tabs, but leaves the problem of multiple pages up to the window manager (which is how I think it should be done).
First of all, I tried using it by setting the layout to max so that every client would be maximized. The advantage of this is that the names of the pages would still appear at the top, so I knew how my "tabs" were organized. However, this method fails when trying to place another application on this tag or showing two or more tags at the same time. So, I started looking at tabulous to see if it would solve this problem. After searching the web, I added some parts to my rc.lua which used tabulous to solve this issue. The problem with using tabulous, though, is that there is no graphical indication anywhere about the other tabs. Only the current tabulous tab gets a spot on the top bar. Basically, I'm looking for a way to have a titlebar (similar to awful.titlebar) which will list all the tabs in a current tabulous tab set. I have not used Ion, but from screenshots that I've seen, it seems to do exactly this. Is there a way to model this behavior in awesome as well?
