Hello,
I'm posting in off-topic since this is not FreeBSD specific.
I decided to give a try yo x11-wm/awesome again and this time it worked greatly but there are few thing that some times drive me crazy. I suppose it has more to do with Lua programming than Awesome.
I prefer to use the procedural style than the declarative one, but sometimes I have to configure the same thing differently and this is not clear why.
For instance:
In here it work in this way:
But here I have to use this
I really would like to understand why?
Thank you.
[EDIT]
The whole configuration (at this moment).

For instance:
wibox.container.background
.In here it work in this way:
Code:
local _textclock = wibox.widget.textclock(" %A, %e %b " .. " %H:%M ")
local textclock = wibox.container.background(_textclock)
textclock.bg = beautiful.redbox
textclock.shape = roundedbox
local clockwidget = wibox.container.margin(textclock, 3, 3, 3, 3)
But here I have to use this
setup
thing:
Code:
local _mpd = lain.widget.mpd {
host = "10.0.0.10",
notify = "off",
cover_pattern = "\\.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif)$",
settings = function()
mpd_notification_preset.fg = "#f2f4f8"
artist = mpd_now.artist
title = mpd_now.title
if mpd_now.state == "pause" then
artist = "mpd:"
title = "paused"
elseif mpd_now.state == "stop" then
artist = "mpd:"
title = "stopped"
elseif artist == "N/A" then
artist = "mpd:"
title = "off"
end
widget:set_markup(markup.font(beautiful.altfont,
" " .. markup("#878d96",
artist) .. " " .. title .. " "))
end
}
-- local mpd = wibox.container.background(_mpd)
-- mpd.bg = beautiful.blackbox
-- mpd.shape = roundedbox
local mpd = wibox.container.background()
mpd:setup {
_mpd,
bg = beautiful.blackbox,
shape = roundedbox,
widget = wibox.container.background
}
local mpdwidget = wibox.container.margin(mpd, 3, 3, 3, 3)
I really would like to understand why?
Thank you.
