AWESOME(1) AWESOME(1) NAME awesome - awesome window manager SYNOPSIS awesome [-v | --version] [-h | --help] [-c | --config FILE] [-k | --check] [--search DIRECTORY] [-a | --no-argb] [-r | *--replace] DESCRIPTION awesome is a window manager for X. It manages windows in different layouts, like floating or tiled. Any layout can be applied dynamically, optimizing the environment for the application in use and the task currently being performed. In a tiled layout, windows are managed in a master and stacking area. The master area contains the windows which currently need the most attention, whereas the stacking area contains all other windows. In a floating layout windows can be resized and moved freely. Dialog windows are always managed as floating, regardless of the layout currently applied. The spiral and dwindle layouts are special cases of the tiled layout where the stacking area is arranged in a spiral for the former or as a rectangular fractal for the later. Windows are grouped by tags in awesome. Each window can be tagged with one or more tags. Selecting certain tags displays all windows with these tags. awesome can contain small wiboxes which can display anything you want: all available tags, the current layout, the title of the visible windows, text, etc. OPTIONS -v, --version Print version information to standard output, then exit. -h, --help Print help information, then exit. -c, --config FILE Use an alternate configuration file instead of $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/awe- some/rc.lua. -k, --check Check configuration file syntax. --search Add a directory to the library search path. -a, --no-argb Don't use ARGB visuals. -r, --replace Replace an existing window manager.
