awesome-wm-nice VS dotfiles

for a few days now I've been trying to get Nice to work on awesome as it's supposed to. Whenever I get to this instruction and change my rc.lua file it just makes the titlebars empty and transparent.

As far as I know, double borders can be achieved with four title bars, one for each side. This is how it is done in the nice module (the screenshot above). This post and this GitHub issue also mention this solution.

Now I know this is possible in AwesomeWM (https://github.com/mut-ex/awesome-wm-nice), but I want to use KDE. Thank you in advance.

It's been a while since I switched over to nice for handling title bars, but iirc, the title bars are just widgets. Each side is a wibox, which supports everything wibox does. In that sense, you can simply set a height property if I'm not mistaken.

Here is a project with advanced use of titlebar. If I get it, you want to do something similar, so you can take a look at it, I guess https://github.com/mut-ex/awesome-wm-nice

I don't advise just running Mathias' config as is, but read through it and see if anything seems to be something you want in yours, make the changes, and save it somewhere for the next time you're setting up a Mac.

There's some stuff in there about speeding up certain animations (look for `# Speed up Mission Control animations`), and about not reordering "spaces" (desktops, full-screen apps, search for `# Don’t automatically rearrange Spaces based on most recent use`) based on use which I think may also affect cmd+tab ordering? Not sure, but it's a setting I always change anyway because the default doesn't make sense for power users.

About the trolling thing, sorry, I was genuinely not sure if you were arguing in good faith or just making stuff up, as most of the things you were saying were just plain incorrect or dishonest, from comparing desktop computer performance to low-powered laptops, to incorrect statements about features macOS truly excels at.

Another resource is the .macos script from Mathias Bynens' dotfiles, which is the repo from the person in the article who gave the method for uncovering such system settings.

initially borrowed from these dots and then tailored to my needs.

I added a PR to fix rsync, mosh, and some other tools, since they will be broken out of the box.

But it seems this project has fallen behind on PRs.

If you would like to have this fix, you can do this after cloning the repo:

  git clone https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles && cd dotfiles

Set some sane defaults for the OS. Browse through this script and pick and choose things that you may like.
