Given my last post related to upgrading awesome to the 3.4 version, I figure it’s only fair to give credit where it’s due. I subscribed to the user mailing list hoping for some help. I got it.
Quick … kudos to the mailing list guys.
The documentation is, unfortunately, lacking in this area. However, when creating a progressbar widget, which is all the my battery indicator is, the widget itself has a default layout of leftright.

pb = awful.widget.progressbar({ layout = awful.widget.layout.horizontal.rightleft, … })

So there you have it. Thanks to the mailing list for helping me out with this stuff.

Are YOU going to be upgrading to W7? Good luck with that.
