You're right, Sean. I hadn't noticed that changing the layout to
vertical requires me to use set_left and set_right. I changed the whole
thing to just set_first, set_second, set_third, which seems to work with
both orientations.
However, the taglist, tasklist and systray continue to grow only
horizontally.
I liked the old way, where the whole bar was just rotated. Is there a
way to have that in 3.5?

Couple of ideas:
First, make sure you change the line where you declare the wiibox. It
should say "mywibox[s] = awful.wibox({ position = "top", screen = s
})" by default (I think). Change the position to left.
According to this
<http://awesome.naquadah.org/doc/api/modules/wibox.layout.align.html> page,
vertical layouts have a top, bottom, and a middle. So instead of
left/right, you have top/bottom. If you change all of this it should
work (I didn't test it).

Hi list,
I use just the laptop monitor most of the time, which has a
resolution of 1366x768. Vertical space is a premium, and so, up
until 3.4.13, I had the default wibox oriented "left". I tried to
do the same with the 3.5 release, and changed its 3 components to
vertical:
local left_layout = wibox.layout.fixed.horizontal() -- 1
local right_layout = wibox.layout.fixed.horizontal() -- 2
local layout = wibox.layout.align.horizontal() -- 3
Making line 3 vertical crashes awesome completely -- I cannot even
login after that. The function exists, so I don't see why it
should crash like that.
Has anyone else here been able to make the vertical status bar
work in 3.5? Or can someone point me to a way of fixing it?
Thanks!
Prash
