A simple desktop environment based on AwesomeWM framework and Gnome stack

• configuration and extensibility without mmodyfiing LUA code
• sane defaults, preconfigured DE for advanced but regular user
• freedesktop.org: autostart
• freedesktop.org: theming, icons
• multihead support
• plugins/extensions layer
• rule based widgets activation
• GUI: displays configuration
• GUI: panels and widgets management
• GUI: settings manager
• GUI: plugins/extensions management
• Widgets: native widget for NetworkManager
• Widgets: notifications area
• Widgets: laptop-specific widgets (battery, brightness)
• Widgets: cpu throttling widget (similar to https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/945/cpu-power-manager/)

• AwesomeWM is a more framework than complete desktop environment
• most of configs/themes available on the web, are built from scratch, incompatible, and have poor quality
• most of widgets available on the web have poor quality
• there is no complete DE built top of AwesomeWM - everyone must create own enviroment based on rc.lua variations
• Gnome3 delivers a good stack and utilities

• osd_cat
• nmcli (NetworkManager)
• xbacklight
• python (Python 3)
• python-gobject
• gnome-screenshot (Gnome Screenshot)
• convert (ImageMagick)
• notify-send (libnotify)
• pulseaudio-ctl (PulseAUdio, pulseaudio-ctl)
• xdg-user-dir (xdg-user-dirs)
