About:
    Vicious is a modular widget library for window managers, but
    mostly catering to users of the "awesome" window manager. It was
    derived from the old 'Wicked' widget library, and has some of the
    old Wicked widget types, a few of them rewritten, and a good
    number of new ones.

    awesome 3.3:
        Vicious tag v1.0.11 was the last release compatible with
        awesome versions prior to 3.4. However, bug fixes and
        improvements were backported and last recommended release to
        use with older awesome versions is v1.0.11.4.

    Wicked
        Switching from Wicked to Vicious is straightforward. There are
        small differences in the API:
        * Caching is entirely controlled by users.
        * Using a string widget type is not allowed.
        * Padding is not provided by vicious helpers.

    BSD
        Rudi Siegel, a FreeBSD user, published his FreeBSD branch. You
        can find his work here:
