Is this an efficient way to do system monitoring?
Welcome to AW! A few points that may come in handy. * Read awesome-git API documentation first. There are a lot of points about it. * Do not use io.popen https://awesomewm.org/apidoc/libraries/awful.spawn.html * Encapsulate business logic to user custom library and re-use code for your widgets. Remove it from rc.lua. * You can use producer-consumer pattern to create signals and add graphical widget listeners to it. https://github.com/raven2cz/awesomewm-config/blob/master/fishlive/status/archupdates.lua https://github.com/raven2cz/awesomewm-config/blob/master/themes/multicolor/theme.lua * nvidia: nvidia-smi --query-gpu=temperature.gpu --format=csv,noheader,nounits * Other basics mem, net, etc. looks here, sometimes is better to use library: https://github.com/lcpz/lain/tree/master/widget * optional: try to divide GUI graphical components (theme parts, and your custom libs) and business logic layer (rc.lua). After a few months, you won't know why and where you implemented it, and you need to keep it in order. Especially the initialization order of the components. Lua requires a strictly sequential order.

How to get battery notification and change wibox theme background in awesome wm
Probably you're using some widgets made by someone else. I see you have a require "lain" in your rc so it's safe to assume you're using lain's widgets, found here: https://github.com/lcpz/lain I'm not familiar with them and currently I am not at the PC but in this file in the repo: https://github.com/lcpz/lain/blob/master/widget/bat.lua You can find this piece of code: bat_notification_critical_preset = { title = "Battery exhausted", text = "Shutdown imminent", timeout = 15, fg = "#000000", bg = "#FFFFFF" } Check out how it works and maybe add your own presets. Good luck.
