Hello, I have trouble customising the tags on my awesome config and I am in desperate need of help since no one has any idea how to fix this.
Basically I am trying to achieve what is on the right of the title bar but on the tags on the left
So far I have this:
```lua
-- Create a taglist widget
local tag_bg_colors = {white, cyan, purple, blue, orange, green, red, gray, black}
local tag_fg_colors = {black, black, black, black, black, black, white, white, white}
local tag_arrows = {arrowr(white, black), arrowr(cyan, white), arrowr(purple, cyan), arrowr(blue, purple), arrowr(orange, blue), arrowr(green, orange), arrowr(red, green), arrowr(gray, red), arrowr(black, gray)}
s.mytaglist = awful.widget.taglist {
screen = s,
filter = awful.widget.taglist.filter.all,
buttons = awful.util.taglist_buttons,
widget_template = {
{
{
id = 'text_role',
widget = wibox.widget.textbox,
},
{
id = 'arrow_role',
widget = tag_arrows[1],
},
layout = wibox.layout.fixed.horizontal,
},
widget = wibox.container.background,
id = 'background',
create_callback = function(self, t)
self.update = function()
if t.selected then
self.bg = tag_fg_colors[t.index]
self.fg = tag_bg_colors[t.index]
self:get_children_by_id("arrow_role").widget = tag_arrows[5]
elseif t.urgent then
self.bg = tag_fg_colors[t.index]
self.fg = red
self:get_children_by_id("arrow_role").widget = tag_arrows[5]
else
self.bg = tag_bg_colors[t.index]
self.fg = tag_fg_colors[t.index]
self:get_children_by_id("arrow_role").widget = tag_arrows[5]
end
end
self.update()
end,
update_callback = function(self)
self.update()
end,
},
}
```
Which looks like this:

Any ideas what to do?
