Poor performance animation (no compositor, with very questionable monkey patch of awful.layout)
I wrote a wrapper for rubato to provide a similar API to replace c:geometry(geo).

Noob Questions about Customizing AwesomeWM (Tagging, Animations)
As far as compositing and animating, Awesome itself is NOT a compositor. You will need a separate compositor like picom for things like shadows, background blur, and true transparency. There are forks of picom that also implement window animations but I have not personally tried them. Simple animations can be implemented in Awesome with libraries like rubato or awestore but it's a fairly manual process of changing a window's x and/or y coordinates on a regular interval.

animations
Javacafe01 - evidently he has archived his repo, guess NixOS is getting to him. He is also the primary developer behind Bling which also implements Rubato, but in such a way as to take esoteric to new heights if you aren't used to making sense of the big foot scat that is awesomewm configurations.

What awesome wm "thing" do you think needs "noob friendly" documentation the most?
I would also recommend read through other ppls configurations on GitHub like Manilarome, JavaCafe or even mine which I think are pretty decent
- Is this awesome config version 4 or is it a lower version?
