AwesomeWM floating windows config

Just wanted to share a quick tip for those who use Awesome (a tiling window manager for Linux/Xorg). To avoid issues with floating windows like dialogs, modals, etc, add the following settings in your rc.lua in the awful.rules.rules section:

    { rule = { class = "Renoise" },
      properties = { titlebars_enabled = false,
                     placement = awful.placement.no_offscreen
      }
    },

    { rule = { class = "Renoise Plugin Server" },
      properties = { titlebars_enabled = true }
    },
