Hi list,
I use Lain and vicious to display widgets in awesome and i have dual screen
setup; my notebook screen is used as secondary display and external, hdmi
screen is used as primary.
On primary and secondary monitors same wibox is displayed but only on
primary(external) monitor there is systray and i like it that way. But i
came across he problem with lain widgets - they are not updating on
external monitor.
My rc.lua is attached so you can see how i call the widgets.
other then that i had no issues and this rc.lua works great just in order
to refresh the widgets on main screen i need to restart awesome :)
Thx in advance,
