Hello 1) Transparency is managed by something called a "compositor". Awesome does not ship one by default. I suggest "Compton". Some KDE Plasma functions directly interact with KWin. You don't have KWin anymore, so that obvioustly wont work. Compton will restore some transparency, for everything else, just forget about it, you wont have it back.
2) You can set a "workarea" for each screen, see the Awesome API for details http://awesome.naquadah.org/doc/api/ Good luck On 23 September 2014 21:06, Max Görner <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi there, > due to my demand for eye-candy and some decent integration I used KDE > until very recently.
