qtile-examples VS KwesomeDE

I have also combined this with some navigation over different focus/screens that I found here: https://github.com/qtile/qtile-examples/blob/master/traverse.py

Did you look at the linked examples in the official repo? I'm not aware of any other resource like that, except for some bits I found through this subreddit.

There is a qtile-examples repository, full of people's setups and tweaks.

basic notification system and example server

Most importantly, there are lines that define keybindings to start programs. I don't use qtile, but I think this example will help you figure things out. For instance, there is the # start specific apps section that explains that (with the given config) you have to press the mod key + n to start the browser or mod key + Enter to start the terminal.

Declaration for each 'theme'. (See qtile-examples for how to separate qtile into multiple files.)

I'm not completely dumbstruck, for example I can see that in this config the dev uses functions and hooks (idk what hooks are, sounds like a way to add event-driven functionality) to automatically set the window type to floating if the window name is equal to x.

You can find some example configs at qtile-examples but, note, some of those configs are quite old.

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]).

I found the wireless widget from https://github.com/Kasper24/KwesomeDE quite nice.

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).

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

Sorry looks like i misspelt the name, here it is https://github.com/Kasper24/KwesomeDE

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.
