Hello, First, if you use 3.4, please upgrade to something newer. 3.4 is 7 years old and is _not_ supported anymore and hasn't been since 2012. The git version of Awesome is currently recommended, the official release is 3.5.9 (from 2012 + bug fixes until ~2017).
Then, please don't use io.popen. Awesome is single threaded and this block/lock your whole X11 session (all application and mouse/keyboard events) while the command is being executed. Newer Awesome version have either LGI async API or, in case of the git version of awesome, awful.spawn async functions. 1) Get system messages / “wall” notifications to display as a popup (naughty.notify) naughty.notify is the correct API 3) Is “iif” supported? [if so, what have I done wrong] Yes, there is: local result = condition1 and object_when_true or object_when_false local first_non_false_or_nil_object = object1 or object2 or object3 or object4 lua syntax is very consistent and small, but, beside switch(), everything is there for sequential, object and functional programming 4) Graphical (possibly using Bashets as suggested by Riccardo) The Awesome 3.4 graphical API has been replaced. The current API documentation is here http://new.awesomewm.org/apidoc/documentation/03-declarative-layout.md.html 5) Suggested improvements?
