awesome-status is a widget populating tool for the awesome window manager.
The best part is that setting up awesome-status is super easy. All you need is the libconfuse library (which should be installed if you're already using awesome and have the necessary headers), as well as glibc header files (named libc6 and libc6-devel in Debian-based distros). Then, just edit the config.mk file or run './configure' if needed, followed by 'make' and 'make install'.
If you need help getting started, there's an example configuration file included for you to work with. And the latest release now includes support for newsbeuter and liferea, as well as various bug fixes. Overall, awesome-status is a must-have tool for anyone who wants to get the most out of their awesome window manager.
