awesome-wm-nice VS dotfiles-awesome

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

In case you are interested I use this and this to generate colorschemes, awesome config and a matching wallpaper

@OP I just spend yesterday generating the same icons as you use. I saw in your dotfiles, you are using .png's for the titlebar icons. You can also instead just generate them in place using awesome itself like this It looks pretty much the same, with the added benefit that you can set colors and variants programmatically in the code.
