I quite like the idea of customization via awful rules, but I think that we still should treat the titlebars as another wibox as then one could have progress bars in the titlebars (not sure weather it would be of any use though :p)... I agree with Andre's selection but as I previously have mentioned, I want hackability, so that by using task list in the titlebar I can have tabbing support in awesome. This would be the awesome way (one of several) of grouping windows. But this isn't easy to implement I suppose, so we can do it later.. :) I think that we only need a couple of launchers which would do the window management thingy (kill, minimize windows etc.) and one tasklist item to show an icon and a title. And some mechanism to customize the buttons or their layout according to awful.rules. Probably unnecessarily lengthy post... Cheers, Ignas -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [email protected].
