 Gang,

    I have recently become interested in using an alternative window manager
 and ended up stumbling onto awesome.  I began reading bits and pieces on it
 through websites and watching youtube videos.  It seems very interesting and
 I can't wait to start working with it.  The immediate question I have is how
 configurable is the taskbar (the bar at the top containing the awesome
 button, the tags, etc)?  For example, would I be able to add/remove tags,
 the awesome button, or the bar entirely?

Hello Dave,

Basically, you can do whatever you want with that bar. Take a look at default
rc.lua that comes with awesome source code and you'll have an idea.

Regards

Yes. You can even write your own.

Thanks for the replies!  Seems like awesome really is awesome! :)  With 
that question answered, I have one more that I'd like to ask...  Can 
effects be added to the taskbar such as fading in and fading out?  For 
example, could I make the bar hidden until a sequence of keys were 
pressed to show it while triggering a fade in effect?

Yes you can, the colors support an alpha channel, and the background is
a color. :)
