7 awesomerc - Configuration file for the awesome window manager
11 *awesome* looks for a configuration file in this order:
13 * $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/awesome/rc.lua
14 * $HOME/.config/awesome/rc.lua
15 * XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/awesome/rc.lua
19 The *rc.lua* file contains configuration information for *awesome*. It can
20 be used to configure the behavior and look of awesome in a variety of ways.
21 It can be assimilated as a Lua program/script run at startup by *awesome*.
22 Therefore, it should use the awesome Lua API described in the API section.
23 This file is read at startup.
27 Documentation for the Lua API can be found in the luadoc directory.
31 The color format in *awesome* is either a standard X color name
32 (blue, darkblue, lightred, etc) or a hexadecimal formatted color (#rrggbb
34 By using the hexadecimal format, you can also specify an alpha channel:
35 that means that #00ff00 will draw pure green, but #00ff00aa will set the
36 alpha channel to `aa' and will blend the green with the color under it.
40 You can use Pango markup in a text string.
41 This allows formating the text rendered inside widgets.
42 Pango markup documentation can be found in the Pango documentation at
43 http://library.gnome.org/devel/pango/stable/PangoMarkupFormat.html.
45 A Pango markup example: <span weight="bold" foreground="#336699">...</span>.
