  • so i finished up the transition to Awesome3 tonight, after seeing that it was out in AUR.  took me about an hour, mostly because it now uses the global configuration file in /etc and i was editing the one in ~/.config, so nothing was changing.  after i figured out that simple fact, i started making some progress and got everything worked out.  so far it looks pretty much the same as awesome2.  there are some slight changes, perhaps the most obvious of which is an integrated systray, which means i can dump trayer.  also the theme system accepts an argument for setting the desktop background, which removes yet another line from my .xinitrc file.

    and now it is very late and i have stayed up for far too long.  it is bed time.
