How to reproduce the issue:

This issue is taken from a stackoverflow question https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69626893/is-it-possible-to-make-tasklist-automatically-switch-to-different-layout/69637336#69637336

It is not currently possible to let a tasklist with a fixed layout wibox.layout.fixed.horizontal() switch to wibox.layout.flex.horizontal when the tasklist is full.

Actual result:

The only current way to do this is "ugly".

Expected result:

Unapplicable.

I have the patches. I will make the PR "soon". That wont include the style properties, but wont monkey-patch the layout object anymore.

Here is the new doc https://elv13.github.io/widgets/awful.widget.tasklist.html

compared to the old one

https://awesomewm.org/apidoc/widgets/awful.widget.tasklist.html

As you can see, since this question was posted, I refactored the tasklist to no longer monkey patch the input layout. Rather, it is now a proper widget on its own. However, this is a breaking change, so I need to write a lot of tests to make sure I emulate enough of the old behavior so nobody notices.

I also added a ton of new documentation code example and images. I am halfway done doing the same for the taglist. This is mind crushingly boring...
