Re: i3 desktop screenshots and config sharing

The computer i used in my last entry gave up on me, bought a new in March and here's the picture so far.

It's a pretty default setup, usually on dual monitors but now I'm in the middle of moving so...

Re: i3 desktop screenshots and config sharing

Huh, so here is mine. My first time using i3 and i must admit i spend whole day (still counting) for tweaking this beast. Usually is use KDE but this is not so bad smile

Clean:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-UMoB … sp=sharing

Dirty:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-UMoB … sp=sharing

I use compton with this

compton --vsync opengl --glx-use-copysubbuffermesa -b 

because opengl and glx make window moving really slow but xrender backend is somewhat tearing. Kwin is much better at compositing.

See ya

Re: i3 desktop screenshots and config sharing

Hey guys, first post 'cos I've been browsing through for a bit but would like some info on a few of your setups.

I'm using manjaro openbox but planned to use i3 in the end anyway (I just wanted an easy setup) so sorry if these questions aren't relevant:

- Everyone here has this Arch logo in the command line followed by info thing e.g. http://i.imgur.com/ndGL1Tc.jpg , what's this all about? (Top right of screenshot)
- What terminal emulators are everyone using? They all look similar (sorry if they're completely different, but you seem to have gone for the similar looks), I especially like Pacha+ 's and GSF1200S 's transparent terminals which look like one big window, any tips on how to do this? GSF1200S you have gnome-terminal as your $mod+enter in your config but I can't seem to configure my gnome terminal to look like yours.
- Manjaro has some pretty gross default colours, but the colour guide on their wiki talks about gtk themes which I don't appear to have. How can I change the colours highlighting, text, etc.
- Some people appear to have "widgets" (sorry if this is wrong, best word I can think of) on their desktop? How is this possible in i3, is it conky?
- it may just be the style of editor, but a lot of you appear to be using a command line text editor: which are you using?

Thanks, sorry for the barrage of questions, I promise to share my screenshots once I set it up smile

You'll find everything you are looking for, with a little bit of effort searching. But I'll answer your questions, since I am feeling bored wink

- Everyone here has this Arch logo in the command line followed by info thing e.g. http://i.imgur.com/ndGL1Tc.jpg , what's this all about? (Top right of screenshot)

As you can see in the screenshot itself, it is called archey. Archey and similar tools give a nicely formatted output of your system configuration. Here are a few of them: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sc … tion_Tools

- What terminal emulators are everyone using? They all look similar (sorry if they're completely different, but you seem to have gone for the similar looks)

Most Arch users use urxvt. But most terminal emulators can be made to look like each other wink

- Manjaro has some pretty gross default colours, but the colour guide on their wiki talks about gtk themes which I don't appear to have. How can I change the colours highlighting, text, etc.

It depends on the terminal emulator and the application. You'll need to research it, as extensive information is available on this subject.

- Some people appear to have "widgets" (sorry if this is wrong, best word I can think of) on their desktop? How is this possible in i3, is it conky?

Are you referring to the bar at the top (or sometimes at the bottom) of the screens? If yes, then firstly i3 has an integrated bar which can display information gathered from different applications including i3status, conky, etc. Then there are standalone bars such as bar or dzen2, as well.

- it may just be the style of editor, but a lot of you appear to be using a command line text editor: which are you using?

From what I have seen, most Arch Linux users use Vim, though many use emacs and others as well.

Thanks for your very quick reply, sorry for not responding as fast but I wanted to make this post count by attaching some screenshots.

I think I may have fixed the green manjaro colours by simply applying the numix theme in lxappearance, and thanks for pointing me to archey, I'm now using it for screenshotting.

I sure can tell why everyone uses urxvt, it didn't strike me as particularly great at first but with a bit of searching I've found it's extremely customizable, extremely fast (it takes no time to cat huge txt files) and has an extremely small memory footprint, so thanks a lot for that recommendation too.

I was talking more specifically about the windows and bars which appeared to be part of the desktop, but I think lots of these are conky as you say but lots of users here have remove i3 borders and window title bars which tricked me into thinking they were some kind of widget when in fact they were just floating a window.

Thanks for notifying me of this, I'll be sure not to post anything manjaro specific.

Anyway, here goes. I've used some bits and pieces from this thread so thanks for that:

I'm not up to the CLI wizardy of most of you here so I've been using nano so far, I'll learn vim when I have the chance. Also I'd only just installed MC, don't actually know how to use it yet. This thing still needs some tweaking, I used a bit of a mix of colours so although I quite like most of the pastel theme I've got going on, there are some bits which just don't work (text unreadable) or don't look that great (the MC colours a bit too "nice" for me at the moment).

Re: i3 desktop screenshots and config sharing

i3 solarized to the death. Really proud of it, just switched from awesome and could configure i3 in less than a day in the same way as my old awesome setup. Desktop shows random(!) Ari Gold quotes, just so you know, haha.

Oh man could you share yours configs. I'm searching about how to put "icons" in my I3bar.

Tks,

Re: i3 desktop screenshots and config sharing

Sure, will do as soon as I'm having a real internet connection again. I usually backup my config on github anyway. It's just a bit tedious over usb tethering right now, but I will post them here in a couple of days.

Until then: The icons are actually a special symbolic font (i think it is even in the i3 arch wiki page), you can see the available icons in evince in one of the screenshots. I use py3status as a status bar. Works really nice and it's real easy to write your own modules. But as I said I will upload my custom ones soon and post them here.

Thank you man! I'll try do the same and understand how the py3status works.

Re: i3 desktop screenshots and config sharing

Here's my most recent - It was time to change up my color scheme.

I had a real stooge moment this morning.  It took me ~5 months of using i3 to realize that the reason I couldn't get multiple workspaces on my laptop screen was because I hadn't added the appropriate keybindings to the config file roll
