The paper deals with settings of a custom scripts and graphical bars in the new version of Awesome Widgets (2.1).
Introduction
For a start it is highly recommended copy file $HOME/.kde4/share/config/extsysmon.conf after widget update before you open widget settings, because old and new script settings are incompatible. Also I should note that these features can be configured from graphical interface, but I will describe how it can be done by simply editing the desktop file.
General
Items are stored in the two directories: /usr/share/awesomewidgets/%TYPE%/ and $HOME/.local/share/awesomewidgets/%TYPE%/ (path may be differ in depend from your distro). Settings in the home directory have a higher priority that global ones.
