WUT? Unity needs LESS screen space then AWESOME WM or something similar because of it's global menu. Look! http://screencloud.net/v/zB84 http://screencloud.net/v/zB84 How much more vertical space would you have in awesome?
And, as someone mentioned, left panel can be hidden, but I prefer to use it.
- lake99 14y agoAwesomeWM can be configured to make the statusbar vertical. I have seen a few people on the mailinglist who prefer it that way. The titlebar that you see for firefox, in the link you provided, AwesomeWM does not waste space on that: you'll find the title in the statusbar/taskbar. These bars can be hidden in AwesomeWM too. How big are your window borders in Gnome/KDE? With one line of configuration, I set my borders to 1 pixel.
- k_bx 14y agoNo, I'm talking about menu like "File, Edit, View ...". It's just not visible because you have to put your mouse on that panel to see it. It's not that it's "unity thing", it's just that I'm not sure if you can do that in Awesome WM.
