Hi,
If I correctly understand what you want, I think you should try a
tilebottom layout then adjust your master window size with Mod4+h/Mod4+l.
Then you can fix your settings in your rc.lua:
a snippet to a 0.75 ratio on all tags:
for s = 1, screen.count() do
-- Each screen has its own tag table.
tags[s] = awful.tag({ 1, 2, 3, 4 }, s, layouts[1])
for t in ipairs(tags[s]) do
awful.tag.setmwfact(0.75, tags[s][t])
end
end
And then a rule to have one of your app being slave by default:
awful.rules.rules = { ....... { rule = { class = "Vlc" }, callback =
awful.client.setslave }, .......}
Hope this helps
