Make a client show in every tag at a specific position on screen and on top of all windows


Pretty much what it says on the tin. I'm trying to get a small graphic to stay at a specific position on screen, regardless of which tag I'm viewing, and for it to always be on top. Unfortunately I don't even know where to start other than setting a rule for the client to be floating, so far. It would also be nice if the window's title didn't show in Awesome's task bar.


Solution

  • What you want is called "sticky". You can do "sticky = true" in a rule, the same way that you can set clients floating.

    And for the taskbar: "skip_taskbar = true"
