Whats wrong with the picom?
I was using dwm and everything was perfect. Then I decided to go back to bspwm and I configured it a bit but this problem started occurring. It's kinda annoying tho... Also I am using pijulius' fork but I tried original source and its all same. Sorry for poor English, thanks in advance

Rounded Corners for ALL Windows
I know i could use a compositor to achieve this effect, but the one i'm using (Pijulius' Picom) does not support rounded corners, and i don't want to change it, since it is the only one with really smooth and somewhat customizable animations

Rounded Corners on Pijulius Picom fork
I'd like to ask if it is possible to have rounded corners in pijulius' picom fork. I'm using it because of the incredibly smooth animations, but i can't get the rounded corners to work...

Building and Installing i3-gaps-rounded
I understand, but the picom fork i'm using, pijulius' one, does not. I'd still like to use this for the buttery smooth animations it has
- Thank you Awesomewm, I really enjoy my current workflow.

What picom fork should I use?
I want my picom to have animations. I've found this fork of it, which some people say is really nice. Problem is, it seems to be quite outdated. I don't know if the fork this fork is forked from (now that's a mouthfull) supports the same animations, and I don't even know if that one is outdated compared to regular picom. Also neither of these is available on Arch's repos, nor AUR, which kinda puts me off since they wouldn't get automatically updated. What should I use? Thanks.

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]).

Network manager?

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).

Dropdown menu in awesome wm
Yes it is possible to do with Awesome API, some examples: https://github.com/rxyhn/yoru#ocean--gallery https://github.com/AlphaTechnolog/dotfiles/tree/awesomewm https://github.com/manilarome/the-glorious-dotfiles https://github.com/Kasper24/KwesomeDE

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.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing picom and KwesomeDE you can also consider the following projects:
