My Dotfiles
These are heavily inspired by DT And Luke Smith also other references: lain , awesome-freedesktop and awesome-copycats
these are two screenshots of my awesomeWM config.
The terminal in the screenshots is luke's build of st with minor changes to config.h
And The status bar is clickable, you can see them in the theme.lua for powerarrow-blue theme. every line that starts with an awful.button is defining the clicks on the icons in the status bar.
for example for volume icon:
awful.button({ }, 1,function () awful.spawn.with_shell(terminal .. " -e pulsemixer") end),
1 means left click, and if you click on the volume icon it will open terminal(st) with pulsemixer.
