Awesome Horizontal: Change application icon theme

If I understand correctly, the icon theme your using for the application icons is decay-icons? If so, how can I change it to, say, Papirus?

Dashboard not working properly with Firefox Browser.

Hello, I am using horizontal awesome wm rice and when I play and youtube videos in Firefox browser dashboard ui gets buggy. First image is when firefox is not running. second shows bugs while playing videos in firefox. Also such issue doesn't occur in brave browser. Third image shows when videos played in brave browser.

some applications open with a disproportionate size and without respecting the layout tile in awesomewm verical

Hi, all is fine, I'm resolving all issues on my own but i can't resolve that one. When I run Firefox with keybinding or not, it opens with different size and all the other issues in the tittle, here an image...

I know it's all black too but it have a little space between the bar and the Firefox window and it doesn't respect it.

Awesome Horizontal: How to move bar to top?

How do i move the bar from the bottom to the top?

attempt to call a nil value (field 'append_global_mousebindings') [awesomewm-vertical]

nice config, but for some reason it just doesn't work for me. i decided to install this config on a void linux vm and i got this error

sorry if i'm not providing enough info, i have no idea what i'm doing

Configuration part showing error.

In the configuration part it says the value of awful.mouse.append_global_mousebindings is null and then it is not working at all

toggle-network.sh does not toggle because it's adding

Literally nothing happens when I click on the network widget.
I ran the script with this error:

Error: 'Wifi_Name --' is not an active connection.
Error: no active connection provided.

Where is it taking this -- from? Well, when I take off the sed pipe from the command in the else clause, I get this:

wlp2s0          wifi       connected               Wifi_Name     
p2p-dev-wlp2s0  wifi-p2p   disconnected            -- 

So sed here is picking up this second row, with the --.

Thus, a simple workound (for my setup) I had to do was simply pipe that to cut:
wifiname=$(nmcli d | grep wifi | sed 's/^.*wifi.*connected//g' | xargs | cut -d ' ' -f 1)

And then it works.

I have not modified anything in the config.

Disabling notification for media

Any way to disable the notification for media that pops up when watching a video or music? The notification is useful for system stuff but it can get quite annoying for media so I'm wondering if there's any way to disable it.
