NOTICE: My configuration for AwesomeWM only works on the latest git master branch. On Arch based distros, all you would have to do is install awesome-git from the AUR. On others, you will have to build it manually.
This repository has submodules, so make sure you clone it correctly:
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/JavaCafe01/awesome-config.git ~/.config/awesome⭐ bling ⭐
Bling brings extra utilities to AwesomeWM such as tabs, swallowing, layouts, and flash focus. Please check it out and give it a star!
Collision is great for window navigation. It is created by one of the AwesomeWM devs, and is a great utility for your configuration. Give this one a star as well!

To start off, I do not round any corners with picom or any other fork. I round with AwesomeWM. If you round a widget and lay that ontop of another widget, the corners or anti-aliased (AA). Using this fact, all my panels and notifications are rounded widgets which contain a bottom transparent layer. For the clients, you do the same thing but with titlebars.
But how did I get shadows? Usually, when you add shadows, it shadows the transparent widget as well, like this:
In picom, if you edit the wintypes option by adding full-shadow = true for every window type you need, you will fix that problem:
wintypes:
{
# ...
normal = {full-shadow = true;};
# ...
};
Here is the result:
Currently I don't have shadows, but I can easily just enable it in picom and still retain my AA corners.
