A simple text based layout widget for awesome WM.
textlayout-widget { tile = "[]=" }
The rightmost widget is the tile layout symbol ([]=) used in DWM.
Copy widget file in your config files using:
cd ~/.config/awesome git clone https://github.com/nullbyto/textlayout-widget widgets/textlayout-widget
cd ~/.config/awesome curl https://github.com/nullbyto/textlayout-widget/textlayout-widget.lua --create-dirs -o widgets/textlayout-widget.lua
In your rc.lua or where ever your bar configurations are:
local textlayout-widget = require("widgets.textlayout-widget") -- Your widget can now be used
Add it to your wibox (without customization):
-- Add widgets to the wibox s.mywibox:setup { ..., { -- Left widgets ..., textlayout-widget {}, }, }
If you want customization, you can just add a specific layout name as argument to the constructor:
-- Add widgets to the wibox s.mywibox:setup { ..., { -- Left widgets ..., textlayout-widget { tile = "hello", floating = "i float", }, }, }
alternatively you can do that in a variable:
local textlayout-widget = require("widgets.textlayout-widget") -- Your widget can now be used local textlayout = textlayout-widget { tile = "hello", floating = "i float", }
and then down here, you just pass the variable:
-- Add widgets to the wibox s.mywibox:setup { ..., { -- Left widgets ..., textlayout, }, }
tile = "[]=", fairv = "==", max = "[M]", floating = "><>", dwindle = "[\\\\]", spiral = "[@]",

- Any layout not set as default nor manually customized by the user will just use the name of the layout from the above list.
- Tested only on Awesome 4.3 (probably works on 4.0+)
