Vincent Bernat's awesome configuration

This is my awesome configuration. It does not exactly feature the same keybindings as the default configuration. I don't recommend using it by you can pick anything you need in it.

I rely on machine hostname for some configuration parts (see rc/start.lua) for the most important part.

Here some of the things you may be interested in:

• It is modular. I am using config as a table to pass different things between "modules".
• In rc/start.lua, there is a xrun function which runs a program only if it is not already running. Instead of relying on tools like ps, it looks at the list of the connected clients with xwininfo. Seems reliable.
• I use a light transparency effect to tell if a window has the focus or not. It needs a composite manager.
• I use a Python script bin/build-wallpaper to build the wallpaper to be displayed. There is a random selection and it works with multihead setup. It seems that classic tools are now able to change the wallpaper per screen and therefore, the script may seem a bit useless but I keep it.
• I am using xautolock + i3lock as a screensaver. Nothing fancy but I reuse the wallpaper built above.
• In rc/apparance.lua, you may be interested by the way I configure GTK2 and GTK3 to have an unified look. It works and it does not need gnome-control-center.
• I am sharing tags between screen with sharetags. I am also giving names to tags: I access them with something like config.tags.emacs.
