Awesome WM 4.0: Layouts glitch


I'm having glitching layouts in awesome wm i'm just a beginner with awesome, so don't know if this is a bug or totally my fault (probably the latter). This happens both when using the key-combinations as the buttons.

Solution

  • There is many possible causes

    There is no client and no wallpaper.

    When there is no client and no wallpaper, it got glitchy. This is fixed in git-master, but not in 4.0

    There is a thin line under terminals

    This is done on purpose to keep the terminal size a multiple of the character height. This can be disabled by changing the honor size hints default. See the FAQ

    There is real glitches

    Wither start a compositor such as comton or start awesome with --no-argb. Some buggy video drivers and hardware combination are known to cause this. Either solutions should work.
