Awesome wm 4 middle align does not work in horizontal layout

On my previous awesome installation (awesome 3.5) I wrote the configurations that do not work the same way in version 4 anymore. I would align a container within horizontal align like this: 

local center_layout = wibox.layout.fixed.horizontal()
local left_layout = wibox.layout.fixed.horizontal()
local right_layout = wibox.layout.fixed.horizontal()
-- Fill layouts with widgets


local layout = wibox.layout.align.horizontal()

layout:set_left(left_layout)
layout:set_right(right_layout)
layout:set_middle(center_layout)

but the center_layout is aligned on the left instead of center like this:

enter image description here

I also tried replacing the above code with 

local layout = wibox.widget {
    left_layout  ,
    center_layout ,
    right_layout  ,
    layout  = wibox.layout.align.horizontal
}

but it diddin't do any change

Solution

  • Set expand to outside for your align layout: https://awesomewm.org/doc/api/classes/wibox.layout.align.html#wibox.layout.align.expand
