Xephyr (and awmtt) can be used to develop and debug awesome wm.
Run a standalone xorg server in a window by running:
Xephyr :1 -ac -br -noreset -screen 1920x1080 &
Now by specifying the used display variable programs can be executed inside Xephyr:
DISPLAY=:1 awesome -c ~/.config/awesome/rc.lua
- taglist must be rewritten so svg stylesheets are applied and per tag font selection is possible
- systray is on the wrong screen, is possible to fix be restructuring wibar setup but more elegant solution might be possible
This is the default awesome-git rc.lua,
but structured for better customization and modularity. Initially, i did
it for myself, because i needed something to start with, and i decided to
share because i didn't find anything similar. None of the logic was touched,
but everything was reformatted to match the code style that i like.
Please note that this is for awesome-git and will not work with the stable release.
The main rc.lua file only load the modules it was split into.
Each module can have its own submodules, and they are all loaded from init.lua.
