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. Obtaining: Download the tarball of the latest tag, get the development code with git or install the package from your operating system provider. 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.
