Awesome WM customizer/configurator
u/BaigGam3rss I still have some work to do to make my own widgets but you probably start with the documentation [1][2]. And then look at some other projects that use Awesome API to build widgets (ex: [3][4][5][6][7]).

Newbie to window manager, why use awesome over other dynamic wm ?
Awesome is very different from other window managers...It's a framework window manager! Through its API you can create widgets that are not possible in other WMs (ex: [1],[2],[3].[4]). Furthermore, AwesomeWM can be used as a tiling window managers and as a stacking window managers (like XFCE).

animations
KwesomeDE - as well as implementing what seems like his own animations and reinventing a few more wheels than I think will practically ever work outside his own system, though thoroughly interesting.

Poor performance animation (no compositor, with very questionable monkey patch of awful.layout)
I wrote a wrapper for rubato to provide a similar API to replace c:geometry(geo).

Noob Questions about Customizing AwesomeWM (Tagging, Animations)
As far as compositing and animating, Awesome itself is NOT a compositor. You will need a separate compositor like picom for things like shadows, background blur, and true transparency. There are forks of picom that also implement window animations but I have not personally tried them. Simple animations can be implemented in Awesome with libraries like rubato or awestore but it's a fairly manual process of changing a window's x and/or y coordinates on a regular interval.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing KwesomeDE and rubato you can also consider the following projects:
