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.

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 Problem is, it seems to be quite outdated.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this fork is forked from (now that's a mouthfull) supports the same animations, and I don't even know if that one is outdated compared to regular picom.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.
