Awesome menu center align

Hi guys, just wondering if anyone knows if its possible to center align the awesome menu (mod4+w one).  I have looked everywhere and can't seem to find a solution.
Thanks!

Hello specialblend, and welcome on board. Could you elaborate what you mean with center align? Do you simply mean centering the menu on screen? That would be as easy as modifying /usr/share/awesome/lib/awful/menu.lua, at line ~320 (~144 in the git version), you could remove / comment out the lines marked with a "-" and add the lines marked with a "+":
_menu.x = _menu.parent.x + w + _menu.width > screen_w and
_menu.parent.x - _menu.width or _menu.parent.x + w
else
- if m_coords == nil then
- m_coords = capi.mouse.coords()
- m_coords.x = m_coords.x + 1
- m_coords.y = m_coords.y + 1
- end
- _menu.y = m_coords.y < s_geometry.y and s_geometry.y or m_coords.y
- _menu.x = m_coords.x < s_geometry.x and s_geometry.x or m_coords.x
- _menu.y = _menu.y + _menu.height > screen_h and
- screen_h - _menu.height or _menu.y
- _menu.x = _menu.x + _menu.width > screen_w and
- screen_w - _menu.width or _menu.x
+ _menu.x = (screen_w - _menu.width)/2
+ _menu.y = (screen_h - _menu.height)/2
end
_menu.wibox.x = _menu.x
_menu.wibox.y = _menu.y
The code in this sections checks whether the menu in question has a parent. If not (the else block), we assign the half the screen width, resp. height minus the menu width, resp. height to the menus x/y coordinates. Yours could look slightly different when you are using the stable package.
(To comment out a line in lua, preceed it with a "--")

    Have you tried adding the following css selector to your css file.
    .nav-bar a {
        text-align: center;
    or insert it in the <style> tag you have on the page:
      <style type="text/css">
      body {
        margin-left: 200px;
      .n {

  • Center Aligning a Webpage?

    For some reason, my webpage is center aligned in Firefox, but not in Safari or Opera.  I'm not sure about IE since I don't have it on my computer.  Whatever the case, I finally got the webpage to align the way I wanted it to (in the center), and it looked perfect in Firefox.  In Safari, however, it was left aligned, and in Opera, it was between the two... about 25% away from the left part of the screen.
    Is there any way to fix this problem?  Here's my code.
    <link href="../styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
    <div id="wrapper">
      <div id="container">
        <div id="header"></div>
        <div id="menu"><img src="../Images/home_button" width="160" height="43" alt="home_button"><img src="../Images/faq_button" width="160" height="43" alt="faq_button"><img src="../Images/newsletter_button" width="160" height="43" alt="newsletter_button"><img src="../Images/donate_button" width="160" height="43" alt="donate_button"><img src="../Images/contact_button" width="160" height="43" alt="contact_button">
        <div id="middle">
          <h2>Text Goes Here</h2>
    </div>
        <div id="footer">
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>

    As John says, without seeing your style sheet or preferably showing the page on a live website, it's impossible to say what the problem might be. However, I see that you have a wrapper div. The style for the wrapper should be something like this:
    #wrapper {    width: 780px;    margin: 0 auto;}
    That will centre your page and make the contents 780px wide. You can change the width to suit your requirements, but the div must have a declared width (it can be a percentage or measured in ems if you prefer).

  • Is there a shortcut to center-align all items of a certain type only?

    I know the title of this thread is poorly worded; I apologize. Let me try to explain.
    I design transit schedules, which I create in InDesign using tables. These schedules list arrival times for bus stops, but when the bus does not stop at a particular stop, this is indicated by an em dash.
    Example:
    The times are left-aligned within the columns (they are aligned on the colon). However, the em dashes are center-aligned. Currently, the entire table is left-aligned by default, and I manually highlight and center-align the em dashes. When there are just a few em dashes or when the em dashes are all adjacent to each other, it's no big deal.
    But I often have to work with schedules in which the em dashes are in every other row (like the top half in the example above) or scattered throughout the table, and in those cases, my very manual method is a real pain in the neck—I have to highlight and center each em dash individually.
    What I would LOVE to find is a feature similar to the Find and Replace feature, in which I could essentially ask InDesign to Find all em dashes within the document and center align them only. I've searched for such a feature to no avail. Am I overlooking something, or is this just not possible in InDesign? And if it's not possible, can you think of a better and more efficient way of center-aligning the em dashes than my current method?
    FYI, I'm still using InDesign CS3, though I hope to upgrade soon. If I learn that a Find and Align type of feature is available in CS5, well—that's just more motivation for me to upgrade ASAP!
    Thanks for your help and input.

    It can be solved through find and change itself. I think the below image will clarify your requirement.

  • How to put a tab space in a center aligned paragraph and have it remained centered?

    I am trying to put a tab spacing within a paragraph that is center aligned but when I press the tab button it pushes the paragraph to the left. How do I solve the problem? I have several lines I need to do this for so adjusting it one but one is a bit tedious.

    I don't use Captchas because they are not web friendly.  Humans have a hard time reading them which often leads to form submission failures and frustration.  I much prefer the Honeypot (hidden input field) method.  It traps spam bots who cannot resist filling in fields because they don't use CSS or JavaScript.  If the hidden field contains any characters, your form processing script can be set-up to flag that as spam and abort the submission.  Humans never see the hidden field, so it works seamlessly behind the scenes.   There's no limit on how many hidden form fields you can have on a page.

  • How to get my_text in the CENTER aligned on my_form?

    Hello
    I put  a text field (say, its name is 'my_field' 80 characters length) WITH OUT caption and NONE appearence (not Solid box, no Sunken box).
    And i am populating/filling this field with some value PROGRAMATICALLY. Pre-Populating value is vary in its lenght.
    For example in 1st case,  i am pre-populating this my_field with 'AAAAAAAAAAAAA'
    In some other case,  i am pre-populating this my_field with 'AAAA'
    In some other case,  i am pre-populating this my_field with 'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA'
    Fine.
    But i want print this text/value IN THE CENTER all the time / all cases, no matter How much lenghts's value i am populating, i mean, it shuld come CENTER in the micro soft word
    Pls. let me know how to get this formatting as CENTER ALIGNMENT
    Thank you

    You probably need to set the Align property of the Text field at design time..
    Select the Text Field and then in the Text formatting toolbar, choose the Align Center option to have the text displayed always in the center.
    Thanks

  • Defining a Center Aligned Table in a WebI Report ?

    I sure hope I'm missing something, but one of our developers has been struggling with this for days and it seems like such an obvious report building exercise.  I looked myself and couldn't see how to do it either... not even using something crafty.
    The basic problem is that we have some content that will change every time the report is run, so we put this data in a one row table with the "show when empty" feature disabled for the cells and "auto-fit width" turned on.  If we could just center align the resulting table we would be fine, but the only way to center align it is to select another item and then use the center align feature.  However, that is a one-time operation that simply calculates the offset given the current data.  If the report is run again with different prompts (for example) the table size may be different, but the center offset is not recalculated because there is no way to mark the table for center alignment.
    So we need the table to be center aligned (either to the page, report header, or another element would work for us) because it will have multiple (optional cells).  Also, FYI, we can't just put it all in one forumla and let the cell content be centered... because we're actually embedding multiple hyperlinks in those other cells... in a borderless table... to get a centered block effect on the results.
    Any suggestions?  Only thing we've come up with is to insert padding cells that we set to Fixedsys fond and then calculate a space Fill() on based on the other results... but that's really messy and seems like overkill for something that's normally a "bread and butter" report building feature.

    Hi Ray,
    As I understand you want to Centre align the table , but when you select the  table centre align feature is disabled and you can only align the text in the table.
    You can use Relative Positioning Feature to align the Table in relation to the Bottom, top, Left and right edge of the report and other block. This feature allows user to fix the position of the table even if data in the table changes and auto-adjust the table position when block data or another block data changes.
    You can manually drag the table to the centre of the report; set the alignment of the text to the centre, when your data changes the, WEBI wonu2019t change the position of the table nor it changes the text alignment.
    Please paste the report data here so that I can understand how you want to display the table data and your statement u201Cwe put this data in a one row table with the "show when empty" feature disabled for the cells and "auto-fit width" turned on.
    Do you have any other blocks of data in your reporting along with the table data that you want to centre align?
    I Hope this Helpsu2026
    Thanksu2026.

  • Pop-up Menu is aligned with the top of the window in IE7

    Using Fireworks MX I created a pop-up menu on an image I
    would like to put within a table not in the top of the window.
    If I view the page with Firefox, the menu is aligned with the
    image, but if I use IE7 the pop-up menu is aligned with the top of
    the window, far from the image.
    Can anyone help me to fix this problem, please?
    Thank you

    You'll need to place the menu in its final position in
    Fireworks, and
    then build your page around it in Dreamweaver. A better
    option would be
    to build the menu yourself from scratch. You can learn how to
    do that here:

  • Center alignment not working for all groups

    We are trying to center our visual within our blank white canvas, and we have multiple groups within the file. See image attached. When we select all groups then hit the center alignment button, only the bottom group becomes centered and nothing else. When we try to select all layers within the first group and hit it, everything moves except the color mask which stays in the original place.
    This seems to be a glitch or bug that it's not working automatically for everything.

  • Awesome menu not working?

    Hey!
    I installed Awesome,
    > sudo pacman -S awesome
    and then went about trying to get some sort of launcher up and working, in this case the built-in "awesome-menu", by following these steps.
    > mkdir .awesome
    > cd .awesome
    > touch menu
    > nano menu
    Then simply inserted these lines:
    leafpad
    firefox
    After that I edited ~/.awesomerc to the following (excerpt):
    key
    modkey = {"Mod4"}
    key = "p"
    command = "spawn"
    arg = "exec `cat ~/.awesome/menu | awesome-menu`"
    But when I launch X and Awesome, and press Mod4+p, nothing happens. I tried installing dmenu instead, and edited ~/.awesomerc once more, to the lines right below the awesome-menu entry in the FAQ linked to above. It works, when the key combo is pressed a light grey bar is displayed in the bottom portion of the screen. So how come the awesome-menu doesn't work?
    (I'm aware of the fact that I could use dmenu instead, but I'd rather explore the capabilities of the built-in first afore I go ahead with extra functionalities. The documentation of the both is rather lacking... not sure what the differences are.)
    Any ideas/suggestions/tips?
    Thank you in advance.

    The stable version of Awesome doesn't have awesome-menu. You'll need to upgrade to a development version. Try awesome-git from AUR.

  • Center-align iWeb pages?

    Is there a code to use to center align an iWeb page, as in vertically, so that no matter what screen size/resolution you have, the page will stay in the middle of the browser, instead of at the top?

    All objects on an iWeb page are fixed and do not move when a browser window is resized. The page itself is centered horizontally.
    iWeb does not support vertically centered pages. And from other forums I gather it is not easily done with custom code.
    But it can be done. Here's a custom page that centers and scales in all directions :
    http://www.wyodor.net/Centered/
    Study the code.
    To make it work in iWeb you need a JavaScript and knowledge of how iWeb creates its pages.
    Perhaps this page guides you in the direction you want. If you can resize the objects, you can resize the page vertically :

  • How to center align Alert.show() in flex

    Hello All,
    I have a tall Flex application that uses Alert.show( ) to display error/warning messages. This created problems when the error messages were centered on the screen, but not visible when the screen was at an extreme scroll position (top or bottom). is there any way that i can display the Alert in the center of the user's viewable page. I've tried the following, but didn't work.
    var errorMsg:Alert = Alert.show("Error message"); PopUpManager.centerPopUp(errorMsg);
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for your help, yes by using some javascript calls i'm now able center align the Alert.
    Here is the solutions for my problem.
    var viewPoint:Number = ExternalInterface.call("eval", "window.pageYOffset"); var browserHeight:Number = ExternalInterface.call("eval", "window.innerHeight"); //the following calculation finds the center y coordinate in user's viewable page. var viewableY : Number = ((browserHeight/2)+viewPoint-50); var alert : Alert = Alert.show("Error Msg"); PopUpManager.centerPopUp(alert); alert.move(400,viewableY);
    I hope this helps someone...
