This is my fork of Romockee's Powerarrow theme, implemented for Awesome-WM 3.5 This project is now in a stage where 80% of the widgets work and I am still working on fixing up the libraries.

At the moment, I did not include the enormous right-click menu that Romockee has. Not because it is difficult to implement, but the fact that I don't have 99% of the software, books and applications he had. If you need it, I will be more than happy to figure it out for you.

You will need this updated library of "blingbling" for some of the Awesome-WM widgets: https://github.com/cedlemo/blingbling

Lua-oocairo: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lua-oocairo/

Vicious: http:https://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/Vicious#Getting_Vicious

Add to the top of your runtime configuration file:

• local cairo = require("lgi").cairo
• local blingbling = require("blingbling")
• vicious = require("vicious")

Beware, some of the hotkeys/key-bindings are from my rc.lua, so if something that you are used to pressing doesn't work, check my global keys

• The layout in general (powerline)
• Clock
• Wireless icon and data sent/received indicator (improved)
• Battery
• Volume (improved)
• CPU widget
• MEM widget
• Mutt Mail widget (improved)

(I am using wicd for my network client, if you are not using that, you should edit out the wicd field, otherwise you will get errors)

• Took out the binary clock, due to the fact that it takes me way to long to read.
• Added on a clock widget and icon
• Added a "netstat" drop down menu using the 'blingbling' library to indicate what processes are currently using the Internet
• "Sensors.lua" is not in the new Vicious library
• Volume icon instead of the core temperature.
• Working wifi-signal strength indicator. The bars now go up or down, depending on your computers wifi signal strength, rather than a static icon that doesn't change (see screenshots for example)
• Working volume level indicated in the form of a speaker. The icon shows the sound level as a speaker (see screenshots for example).
• Mail how has mutt and a notifier with gmail integration (see screenshots for example).

• In your home directory, created a file named .netrc
• In this file you will put your login details, it should

look like this: "machine mail.google.com login [email protected] password yoursecretpassword" (without the quotations of course)

• Looking to implement a calendar by turning the date textbox into a button
• Will implement a battery widget that actually corresponds to the amount of battery you have left. (I am huge fan/advocate of icons that are dynamic, can change and ones that reflect on current status)

• you got mail!

• you have no mail.

• volume level high

• volume level medium

• volume level low

• volume icon muted

• wifi signal low

• wifi signal medium

• The desktop so far
