  • Notifications are too low, cannot seem to figure out what is causing it

    This "notification" from the screenshot looks very similar to the pop-up produced by this network widget https://github.com/pltanton/net_widgets. With a quick check in you rc file, I can confirm you indeed use a wifi widget, and the code is also very similar to what the readme says.
  • Network manager?
    3 projects | /r/awesomewm | 19 Feb 2023
    I'm looking for something to select wireless networks from the wibar. Had a look at Eyedeekay's awesome-network-manager, but the instructions look a bit outdated (from my very limited understanding). Tried to adapt them - no errors, but nothing shows up in the wibar. Also tried Planton's Network Widgets, but that seems to be suffering the same fate. I'm aware I can run Network Manager's applet, but I'm hoping for something a bit more aesthetically consistent.
  • What GUI would you recommend for NetworkManager?

  • How do you guys handle network/bluetooth?
    3 projects | /r/awesomewm | 30 Apr 2021
    Has anyone has made a widget that functions similarly to DE network interfaces? I found this widget, but afaik it only shows the network you're connected to. I haven't been able to find much of anything for bluetooth, so any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks in advance for any help.
