13 * $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/awesome/rc.lua
14 * $HOME/.config/awesome/rc.lua
15 * XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/awesome/rc.lua
19 The *rc.lua* file contains configuration informations for *awesome*. It can
20 be used to configure the behaviour and look of awesome in a variety of ways.
21 It can be assimilated as a Lua program/script run at startup by *awesome*.
22 Therefore, it should use the awesome Lua API described in the API section.
23 This file is read at startup.
27 Documentation for the Lua API can be found in the luadoc directory.
31 Colors format in *awesome* are either standard X color names
32 (blue, darkblue, lightred, etc) or hexadecimal formatted colors (#rrggbb
34 By using hexadecimal format, you can also specifies an alpha channel:
35 that means that #00ff00 will draw pure green, but #00ff00aa will set the
36 alpha channel to `aa' and will blend the green with the color under it.
40 You can use and mix Pango markup and awesome markup in text string.
41 This allows to format the text rendered in widgets.
42 Pango markup documentation can be found in the Pango documentation at
43 http://library.gnome.org/devel/pango/stable/PangoMarkupFormat.html.
