Notifications are too low, cannot seem to figure out what is causing it
This "notification" from the screenshot looks very similar to the pop-up produced by this network widget https://github.com/pltanton/net_widgets. With a quick check in you rc file, I can confirm you indeed use a wifi widget, and the code is also very similar to what the readme says.

Network manager?
I'm looking for something to select wireless networks from the wibar. Had a look at Eyedeekay's awesome-network-manager, but the instructions look a bit outdated (from my very limited understanding). Tried to adapt them - no errors, but nothing shows up in the wibar. Also tried Planton's Network Widgets, but that seems to be suffering the same fate. I'm aware I can run Network Manager's applet, but I'm hoping for something a bit more aesthetically consistent.

How do you guys handle network/bluetooth?
Has anyone has made a widget that functions similarly to DE network interfaces? I found this widget, but afaik it only shows the network you're connected to. I haven't been able to find much of anything for bluetooth, so any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks in advance for any help.

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]).

Newbie to window manager, why use awesome over other dynamic wm ?
Awesome is very different from other window managers...It's a framework window manager! Through its API you can create widgets that are not possible in other WMs (ex: [1],[2],[3].[4]). Furthermore, AwesomeWM can be used as a tiling window managers and as a stacking window managers (like XFCE).

animations
KwesomeDE - as well as implementing what seems like his own animations and reinventing a few more wheels than I think will practically ever work outside his own system, though thoroughly interesting.
