We wil have [1][1:irssi][2][2:iceweasel]

I fixed it by using some vars in the config:

set $1  1: browse
set $2  2
set $3  3: irc
set $4  4: mail
(...)

bindsym $mod+1 workspace $1
bindsym $mod+2 workspace $2
(...)

# move focused container to workspace
bindsym $mod+Shift+exclam      move workspace $1
bindsym $mod+Shift+at          move workspace $2

# move and follow focused container to workspace
bindsym $mod+Control+1 move workspace $1; workspace $1
bindsym $mod+Control+2 move workspace $2; workspace $2

If you want to create workspace names on the fly, you should also focus 'em with a i3-msg command:

i3-msg workspace 2: irssi

Thanks a lot. I will test it.

Here it's the bug I have

joepvd · 2012-06-26 12:15:19

It is not a bug, but a mis[configuration|understanding]. Show your config, and tell what you do exactly.

Hint: Before posting, do some close reading of some of the comments. You might be able to figure it out yourself

Part of the User Manual

Note that the workspace will really be named "1: mail". i3 treats workspace names beginning with a number in a slightly special way. Normally, named workspaces are ordered the way they appeared. When they start with a number, i3 will order them numerically. Also, you will be able to use workspace number 1 to switch to the workspace which begins with number 1, regardless of which name it has. This is useful in case you are changing the workspace’s name dynamically.

I tried it and this feature does not work. I tried i3-wm and i3-git.

Do we have to guess what you put in your config?

n3b · 2012-06-26 17:30:24

I had to reboot. The i3 restart was enough. Thanks joepvd it's work!

But still the behaviour described in the manual does not work.

joepvd · 2012-06-26 19:58:47

For me it works as described:

i3-msg workspace number 1

focuses the workspace with the name 1: www. A wild guess: You missed the word 'number' in the manual.

Edit: I sent a patch to the devopers to stress the fact that a config change is needed for this behavior, as this is easy to overlook.

I execute "rename workspace 2 to 2:www".

But when "workspace 2" is executed, I still go to workspace with the name "2".

joepvd · 2012-06-26 20:28:58

Please. Read. Precisely.

Dont do: "workspace 2". Do instead: "workspace number 2".

Here's a previous desktop when I was using i3. I thought I may as well share.

could you share your i3bar config if it uses conky and dzen ?

Here's my latest

@Starfall, what is displaying the volume, heart (battery I assume), and time on the bottom of your terminal window? Is that tmux or is that part of your prompt?

Anyway, I like it. Typically I am attracted more to dark setups, maybe because they are just easier (physically) on my eyes, but your pastel extravaganza in pretty sweet.

sime · 2012-12-05 15:21:58

@Starfall Xresources please?

Yup! That is indeed tmux

Yeah, I usually stick to dark themes, but I fancied a change. Thanks for the kind words!

Assuming you want the colours; here ya go

Could you also share the relevent section of your tmux config?

What's the magic word?

I'm just at work at the moment so I can't get the configs (really need to get my dotfiles on Github...), but I just have little shell scripts for each 'widget' which I then reference in tmux's right status section. Was it the scripts in particular you're looking for (battery/volume)?

**EDIT**

I just wrote up a blog post on this, all the configs are at the bottom, so go give it a read

Soon i will try to set up better colors. Inspired maybe by Sunburst or Solarized (lot's of idea here http://wiki.macromates.com/Themes/UserSubmittedThemes )

I gues I kinda missed the boat on the please thing, so I will try my best for redemption, and say "Thanks for the link! I'll give it a read."
