wibar battery widget for laptops with multiple batteries.
Then I improved its reactivity and batteries detection using (lua-dbus-proxy)[https://github.com/stefano-m/lua-dbus_proxy] and (lua-upower-dbus)[https://github.com/stefano-m/lua-upower_dbus]. Usage is the same as above, except for the batteries parameter which is now useless.

Unable to start pulseaudio for dbus-launch awesome in lightdm
I should have clarified what the issue is for PulseAudio more clearly: I'm using an Awesome module to access Pulseaudio via a widget. That widget does so by creating a DBus proxy, but when it attempts to access that proxy, it fails with a "GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown" error, which states that "the name org.PulseAudio1 was not provided by any .service files." Obviously, this isn't very helpful since I'm not using systemd so I don't have any .service files. This error goes away when I call start-pulseaudio-x11 either before or after Awesome starts up.

Widgets: which are the alternatives?
I'm trying to get the most out of my OS (Arch with X11 and Awesomewm), but I'm stuck with the widgets. I would like to create/use some utilities like an interactive calendar, small TODO list, dropdown menu, etc. but using the awesomewm widgets is too difficult and limiting. I found eww but it seems as difficult as the former widgets.

How do I get the batteryarc-widget to work properly?
Hello, I am new to Linux (using Mint rn) and very new to Awesome. I installed Pavel Makhov's awesome-wm-widgets pack since that seems very cool and widely used. While the arc portion of the widget works perfectly fine, the actual charge isn't showing in the middle of the arc. Here's what I mean.

Widget help.
I am a noob to awesome wm, and have tried several times to get the widgets from https://github.com/streetturtle/awesome-wm-widgets to work. I am not understanding the directions, and whenever I try it always throws me errors that i cannot figure out. Can anyone give me detailed instructions on how to setup these up?

Were can I study aligning widgets on wibar (or writing awesome widgets in general)?
Check tips & tricks section here, there are two tutorials on widget creation: https://pavelmakhov.com/awesome-wm-widgets/ You can also have a look at the source code of https://github.com/streetturtle/awesome-wm-widgets

Get Off My Desktop Windows Needs to Stop Showing Tabloid News
> What widgets are you referring to that you found to have leaks?
I'll cite myself here: https://github.com/streetturtle/awesome-wm-widgets/issues/11...
I've had similar issues wherever GTK interacts with awful.spawn . Hence my GTK + awful.spawn.easy_async = extremely leak-prone
Here's another affected library [1]: https://github.com/deficient/volume-control
[1]: No bug under the main repo because they're considering it as a framework bug. See here for discussion: https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/issues/3584#issuecommen...

Awesome WM customizer/configurator
u/BaigGam3rss I still have some work to do to make my own widgets but you probably start with the documentation [1][2]. And then look at some other projects that use Awesome API to build widgets (ex: [3][4][5][6][7]).
