No window titlebars

[RossComputerGuy]

Rules:

awful.rules = {
        { rule = {}, properties = { titlebars_enabled = true } }
}

Nice init:

nice{
        titlebar_font = 'DejaVuSansMono Nerd Font Mono 10'
}

I did awful.rules.rules instead of awful.rules and now I get this error:

@RossComputerGuy Looks like you are using the branch of nice meant for awesome-git version but are actually using awesome stable.

@mut-ex, you're totally right! ...it didn't cross my mind to check that beforehand what you wrote in the readme. sry
