Lain is a Lua module providing alternative layouts, asynchronous widgets, and utility functions for the Awesome window manager (4.x). It is the successor of awesome-vain and extends Awesome WM's desktop customization capabilities.
Use cases
- add system monitor widgets to my awesome wm statusbar
- get extra tiling layouts for awesome window manager
- show music player or weather info in awesome wibar
- asynchronous widgets that don't block the awesome wm event loop
- customize my linux desktop panel with lua
When to choose
- you use Awesome WM 4.x and want more widgets, layouts, or utilities
- you want a well-established, community-maintained extension module for awesome
When to avoid
- you use a different window manager or desktop environment
- you need a GUI toolkit or standalone application rather than a WM module
