Re: i3 desktop screenshots and config sharing

@WonderWoofy, yes, it feels like an oven. I stay indoors for a few ours, it's just too much.

Still pretty much the same as before. But again new status. Xcompmgr is out, too buggy. This time I tried to get some more monochromatic.

Re: i3 desktop screenshots and config sharing

I spent some time last night converting my conky config to one compatible with the json/i3bar format, which has perty colors. I followed some advice from this thread so I thought that I might as well contribute something back.

Yeah, it's pretty long, but it's a great base to work from if you decide to create your own.

Very cool man. The only thing driving me crazy is the changing of the width.
I had to do something like this for my own script which i don't like
{ "full_text" : "CPU: ${if_match ${cpu}<10} ${cpu}%${else}${cpu}%${endif} - ${loadavg 1}" , "color" : "\#ffffff" },

I don't think there's any way to fix that in conky. Using:

use_spacer left

... might mitigate it a little bit, but I'm not sure by how much.

Excellent!
Here is the volume block, modified from Ledti to have different colors on <25 <50 <75 >=75
The thing that worries me is that you can't save the output of an exec command to a variable in conky and you have to invoke pamixer many times...

# Volume:
{"full_text":"VOLUME","color":"\#888888","separator":false,"separator_block_width":6},\
{"full_text":"${if_match "${execi 1.5 pamixer --get-mute}"=="false"}"},\
{"full_text":"${if_match ${execi 1.5 pamixer --get-volume}<25}${execi 1.5 pamixer --get-volume}%","color":"\#AAF096","separator":false,"separator_block_width":6},\
{"full_text":"${else}"},\
{"full_text":"${if_match ${execi 1.5 pamixer --get-volume}<50}${execi 1.5 pamixer --get-volume}%","color":"\#F0DC64","separator":false,"separator_block_width":6},\

Re: i3 desktop screenshots and config sharing

@qinoche if you need any help with git let me know, it is a little difficult to start with but you soon get the hang of it. Exit script was a twist on one I found on forums, just added new options and made it look pretty.

Oooh, thank you for he offer Mr.Green, I could use some help with that yes. I do understand the concept, did a 'college' on youtube about it from; Jessica Kerr "Git Happens".
Have read a bunch of documents about git, especially the beginners guide. Created a github account, and created a repo called dots.
Now I managed to clone the empty git to my home dir. From there on it's become unclear, but that must be me.

Yes, I like the script, I can adjust, so it doesn't necessarily look like yours. I came up with the same idea about creating i3WM on a live cd.
Now this is coming together very nice already, and is running without problems so far. It's a x86_64.iso which I managed to keep well under 800M.
Maybe I should open a separate thread about that, not to pollute this one. And I wished git was already running, cause a am around build nr.40 for the ISO, mistakes are easy made...)

Re: i3 desktop screenshots and config sharing

Did not think anyone would be interested in them, working on my own desktop config at the moment once fine tuned I will link to github [sorry for multiple screenshots ]

Added to github....

@Mr Green, thanks a bunch for helping me out with git.
@Mr Green, again, I like your theme, it looks very beautiful & coherent

And now, present my GitHub at,https://github.com/qinohe/.i3

Re: i3 desktop screenshots and config sharing

After seeing i3 recommended time and time again, I finally made the switch from DWM a few days ago. Loving it so far; no more hand patching source code – hooray! Anyway, I'm beginning to get my set up the way I want it...

Re: i3 desktop screenshots and config sharing

Finally I decide to remove i3 status bar which is so ugly at all, so I replace it with the beautiful tmux-powerline. You can do this like me.

Thank for everyone witch have shared i3 here! I can not make so smart desktop without you.

You can find my config here.
