NAME

       awesomerc - Configuration file for the awesome window manager

SYNOPSIS

       awesome looks for a configuration file in this order:

       •   $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/awesome/rc.lua

       •   $HOME/.config/awesome/rc.lua

       •   $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/awesome/rc.lua

DESCRIPTION

       The rc.lua file contains configuration information for awesome. It can be used to
       configure the behavior and look of awesome in a variety of ways. It can be assimilated as
       a Lua program/script run at startup by awesome. Therefore, it should use the awesome Lua
       API described in the API section. This file is read at startup.

AWESOME LUA API

       Documentation for the Lua API can be found in the luadoc directory.

COLORS FORMAT

       The color format in awesome is either a standard X color name (blue, darkblue, lightred,
       etc) or a hexadecimal formatted color (#rrggbb or #rrggbbaa). By using the hexadecimal
       format, you can also specify an alpha channel: that means that #00ff00 will draw pure
       green, but #00ff00aa will set the alpha channel to ‘aa’ and will blend the green with the
       color under it.

TEXT FORMAT

       You can use Pango markup in a text string. This allows formatting the text rendered inside
       widgets. Pango markup documentation can be found in the Pango documentation at
       http://library.gnome.org/devel/pango/stable/PangoMarkupFormat.html.

       A Pango markup example: <span weight="bold" foreground="#336699">...</span>.
