The i3 thread

x-rix · 2013-01-29 06:13:10

Hi guys,

I just tried a general system upgrade and when it came to i3lock, pacman told me

(23/23) checking package integrity                                                                     [------------------------------------------------------------] 100%
error: i3lock: signature from "Thorsten Töpper <atsutane@freethoughts.de>" is unknown trust
error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

Anybody encountering the same problem?

Edit: Never mind, I found the bug report; it seems that I just have to upgrade archlinux-keyring first.

Thank you! Just stumbled upon the same error. Running "pacman -Syu" again solved it, as the archlinux-keyring already got updated the first time.

is it possible to have new workspaces default to be in floating mode?

The configuration does not make this possible, the only options are default,stacking and tabbed.

This option determines in which mode new containers on workspace level will start.
Syntax:
workspace_layout <default|stacking|tabbed>

Maybe it is possible with a for_window command that matches all windows, instead of xterm like here.
for_window [class="XTerm"] floating enable

Hey guys. I'm considering using i3 and I've played around with it a little bit already. I'm very used to dwm and awesome, but I want to give i3 a try.

I have 2 questions:

- Is there a way to get gaps between the windows, similar to dwm's "uselessgap" patch?
- Is there a way to get dwm-style window focusing behavior? e.g. If I keep hitting mod4+j, the focus behavior will wrap around to *all* of the windows in a clockwise direction. dwm and awesome both behave this way, and I really prefer it if possible.

If these features aren't built-in, are there any patches available that do this? Thanks.

I tried to tinker with it a bit, thought it might be possible to set the statusline color the same as background to 'hide' separators, and then ship the right colors inside JSON data, but then i found this inside i3bar's code:
set_font_colors(statusline_ctx, get_colorpixel("#666666"), colors.bar_bg);
Yep, separator is hardcoded to always be #666666 color regardless of any settings. Sigh.

if you use JSON-conky-output in the status line you can hide the separator by setting the background and statusline the same color.

# bar settings
bar {
    status_command $HOME/Scripts/conky_i3
    font pango:Tamsyn 9
    position top
    tray_output none
    colors {
        background #080808           
        statusline #080808             
        focused_workspace  #080808 #080808 #25db4f
        active_workspace   #080808 #080808
        inactive_workspace #080808 #080808 #9c9c9c
        urgent_workspace   #080808 #080808 #ed3764
        }

This is how it looks like. I didn't pass any color variable in my script, so the font defaulted to statusline color, and the separators are still visible (their color is #666666, probed it...).

in my case its working --> http://ompldr.org/vaGE5NA/bar.png

yesterday i compiled i3 with modified sourcecode with no effect (changed the #666666). my i3-wm-version is 4.4 build 2012-12-12.
my conkyrc:

#run in console out of X
out_to_x no
own_window no
out_to_console yes
background no
max_text_width 0

#behaviour
update_interval 2.0

# number of cpu samples to average
# set to 1 to disable averaging
cpu_avg_samples 2

# Add spaces to keep things from moving about?  This only affects certain objects.
# use_spacer should have an argument of left, right, or none
use_spacer left

# Force UTF8? note that UTF8 support required XFT
override_utf8_locale yes

# JSON for i3bar
TEXT

[ { "full_text" : "CPU ${cpu} " , "color" : "\#C89BDC" },
  { "full_text" : " RAM ${memperc} " , "color" :
      ${if_match ${memperc}<90}"\#25db4f"${else}"\#ed3764"${endif} } , 
  { "full_text" : "VOL ${execpi 2 amixer get Master | egrep -o "[0-9]+%" | head -1 | egrep -o "[0-9]*"}" , "color" : "\#ed3764"},
  { "full_text" : "EML ${execpi 300 python ~/Scripts/gmail.py}" , "color" : "\#ed3764"},
  { "full_text" : "BAT ${battery_percent BAT1}" , "color" : "\#C89BDC" },
  { "full_text" : "${time %A, %H:%M // %d}" , "color" : "\#25db4f"}
],

and my conkyscript:

#!/bin/sh

# Send the header so that i3bar knows we want to use JSON:
echo '{ "version": 1 }'

# Begin the endless array.
echo '['

# We send an empty first array of blocks to make the loop simpler:
echo '[],'

# Now send blocks with information forever:
exec conky -c $HOME/.conkyrc

I found out that the

font pango:Tamsyn 9

is responsible for this different behavior. Without the 'pango' setting or no font setting at all, separators default to the stock, #666666 colored ones.

Well in case you haven't noticed, most of the traceback seems to be referring to gtk-missing-image. So maybe search keeping that in mind.

Thanks for posting you config - it was very helpful - I wanted my workspaces to appear in an ordered way and your method was the only one that made sense to me and worked.

Is it possible to change or remove the i3bar border color?
edit: Also can someone point me in the right direction for moving the bar on top instead of bottom?

Last edited by toringe (2013-02-22 19:07:07)

BluMongoose · 2013-02-22 20:12:07

For the positioning of the bar, its set in the bar block towards the bottom of the config file.

bar {
     ...
     position top
     ...
}

Further information on the bar can be found here

For the bar's border color, I am not 100% sure what you are referring to as mine does not have a border color by default.

toringe · 2013-02-22 20:48:01

Thanks, I don't know how I missed that
as for the bar border, look here: http://ompldr.org/vaGsxbg/2013-02-22-21 … _scrot.png
(For demo purposes I set the bg to red)
There is a black border there

edit: found a patch here, need to manually edit the patch to get it working http://ompldr.org/vZmEwMQ

edit2: In case anyone is interested, I made a PKGBUILD: https://github.com/toringerottum/PKGBUI … no-borders

Hey guys, currently giving i3 a try on my laptop and loving it so far! I'm currently having some problems with my font configuration though, and I figured this is probably the best place to ask.

I have this line in my config:
font xft: tamsyn 8

My status bar and window list texts look great with tamsyn, but some other applications are using a strange font that I dont like at all, here's a picture:
http://i.imgur.com/Whz12ld.png

Anyone know how I can set those fonts in wicd to something more of my liking?
