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 think the dude ' s dots you want to use is using the git master version and you are using the stable version ? Maybe. The stable version is too old. And the Git master version some new Api's. up to date. So try using the git master version.

Found it here https://github.com/elenapan/dotfiles/tree/master/config/awesome/themes/amarena/titlebar

Otherwise you can just use the prethemed ones for instance this and this
