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


Obtaining:
    Download the tarball of the latest tag, or get the development
    code with git. Git access is provided over http, you can clone the
    repo with:

    $ git clone http://git.sysphere.org/vicious


    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
        Richard Kolkovich, a FreeBSD user, published his vicious-fbsd
        branch. You can find his work here:
