Change your xinit to point to the i3 binary you just built. EG:
exec ~/i3/i3
Add the following to your i3 config
enable_alpha_channel yes
new_window inset 4
Well, but the gap between two windows seems to twice as much as the outer gap on your screenshot… Is this intended behaviour?

Not intended, but there's no way around it as far as I know. It's a 4px border on all sides, so when windows are next to each other it's 4+4.

If you don't have a docked client, it's fairly simple. You just need to change two lines:
src/randr.c: ln181
from
output->rect.y + output->rect.height - (font->height + 6),
to
output->rect.y
and in src/layout.c: ln 698
from
yoffset[cols] = r_ws->rect.y;
to
yoffset[cols] = r_ws->rect.y + (font->height +6);
This may not work if you are using external bar (most likely won't), but you can play around. I hope this helps!

Or, you can add this to your i3 config.

bar {
...
position top
...
}

Easy as pie.

Im not entirely sure if this is the normal process a virgin tiler goes through, but i3 is the first tiler ive tried that doesnt totally frustrate me in 15 minutes. I always figured id end up using Awesome if I used a tiler since everyone talks so highly of it.

Im surprised that i3 is so light on keybinds, and yet so good at dealing with a large number of windows (due to the tree structure/tabbing). I could seriously see having 40 windows open on one workspace and not being totally lost due to the tree structure (as its possible to organize by the container). There is just no way I can do that on a stacker or auto tiler. I always get into an overload situation where I just open a new workspace and start over (stacker), or open a new workspace every 4-5 windows opened (auto tiler).

Is there even any other tiler that uses i3's approach? I instantly dont think id use a tiler that does anything else. Im currently an Openbox/Pytyle2 user, so this is all a bit new to me. Quite a few tiling options, and according to the dynamic window manager arch wiki chart, i3 seems to be the only tree mode so unless im missing one..

Just picked up a new laptop and just finished up my Arch install & I3 set up. Still needs some love but making progress...

You can find the config on my dotfiles.

Has anyone made use of the new click events in the i3bar protocol? Check the docs (right at the end): http://i3wm.org/docs/i3bar-protocol.html

Sounds interesting, but I don't think it would work with conky (my current i3bar feeder).

Useless gaps are useless, a crosspost of a crosspost from the March screenshot thread. A lot of stuff inspired (blatantly stolen) from others. Featuring terminals, qt4(pcmanfm-qt beta), qt5(transmission-qt), gtk2(lxappearance) and gtk3(brasero) apps.

GTK theme: FlatStudioDark (Both Qts use this too)
Conky based on Ledti's: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 7#p1297897
Terminal colors from earsplit's repo: https://github.com/windelicato/dotfiles … rosionedit
Firefox with Classic Compact addon, and a little bit of playing around with it's Customize tool. The homepage was inspired by someone, but made by myself.

Gadileth · 2014-03-19 12:00:47

Is there any way you could give me your conky config? Not only the on it is based on?

But very clean and nice setup!

It's just a simple shell script you can download from here, for example: http://code.google.com/p/iterm2/source/ … /colors.sh

@ Mossepo :: ahh thanks... i did a ddg.gg search on color shell script and found a way to set it in xresources... gotta go post in ooh, nice soon cause this changes a lot and I need to set up all my console apps again but so far mocp looks great thanks for giving me a keyword to dig with I had been wanting to do this for some time

I resolved my previous issues with conky as a sidebar, by just adding this snippet to my config

bindsym $mod+t border normal
bindsym $mod+y border 1pixel
bindsym $mod+u border none

then I just $mod+u on conky and then it's (mostly) good. it's still a pain if I want to tile downwards

Thanks for that, just got a bit more retail space in my browser! I also really like the homepage, could you share it perhaps?

Still tinkering, but didn't find so many light color schemes here with a quick glance, so here's one:

The configs are on github: i3/conf and i3status.conf.

I took the colors from the Lucius vim/terminal color scheme.

Yeah, solarized is always nice, too, though it goes best with solarized colors everywhere.
