This is the awesome window manager configuration of Derek Taylor (DistroTube)
- My YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/c/DistroTube
- My GitLab: http://www.gitlab.com/dwt1/
My awesome window manager configuration. Keep in mind, that my configs are purposely bloated with examples of what you can do with awesome. It is written more as a study guide rather than a config that you should download and use. Take what works for you; leave the rest!
- Simple enough for beginner’s but flexible enough for the power user.
- Extremely customizable, maybe more so than any other window manager.
- Configured in Lua.
- A documented API to configure and define the behavior of your window manager.
These are Lua modules that we must import so that we can use their functions later in the config.

Check if awesome encountered an error during startup and fell back to another config (This code will only ever execute for the fallback config)
if awesome.startup_errors then

do

We can have multiple themes available to us and set the one we want to use with chosen_theme.
local themes = {

It’s nice to assign values to stuff that you will use more than once in the config. Setting values for things like font, terminal and editor means you only have to change the value here to make changes globally.

You can set wallpaper with awesome. This is optional, of course. Otherwise, just set wallpaper with your preferred wallpaper utility (such as nitrogen or feh).
