This branch is an attempt to move the entire config to the non-deprecated part of awesome-git api using as little editing as possible. Generally speaking simply dropping in the widget from the main branch should work, with a few exceptions. In particular, awful.wallpaper is a bit more complex (though the old gears.wallpaper method works), notifications are more complex and some things act a little weird (mpc widget for some reason displays "Loading mpc..." although it should drop once mpc is detected). Also, anything that uses the old awful.rules api should be made compatible with ruled api.
Reno is an evolution of my previous configuration, https://512mb.org/git/Yessiest/awesome. This time, this bad boy can fit 90% more configuration options, through the use of AWMTK2 (or RenoTK, never really decided on the name).
Through advancements in the ~~science~~ dark magic art of lua metatablery, AWMTK2 makes it possible to create complex and visually rich themes, while mainting relatively low memory footprint.
Thanks to the ethically questionable decision of employing JSON to Widget Layout conversion, this desktop allows for customization of panels, context menus, lock screens, and other widget containers of various sizes and shapes.
The installation process is not much different from the previous iteration, except this time the window manager does not crash if you don't install luapam. Instead, the lock widget will simply refuse to operate.
