[SOLVED]Lookin for a WM similar to i3

Hi people, hope you are doing well.

What's missing and what's wanted:
I just discovered i3 and I'm still configuring it. It doesn't seem to fit.
The screen is not bright like in the pictures. The transparency is problematic, either the background comes in too much or it doesn't look aesthetic. It works a bit slow, the mouse movement doesn't recognize the active window immediately and not very well.

I couldn't adjust it comfortably, normally the focus should be selected from the keyboard, but it shifts with the mouse, etc. It immediately puts focus on the window that just opened and even if I move the mouse to the old window, the focus does not change. Not fast and effective

Maybe I did the resize part wrong, but still the terminals don't open bottom to bottom, I have to move it manually. And i dont know why but generall (every boot) i see loading mouse cursor. And its stay like it until opening firefox/terminal.

Summary
I'm looking for a full Arch WM in the i3 style. Fast, active, aesthetic. Keyboard managed. Manual (do-it-yourself mentality) bars etc. But KDE style will do, ready widgets + manual addition. Or I may need to switch to compton configuration.

If you have something in mind or a suggestion please share it.

Have a nice day.

Re: [SOLVED]Lookin for a WM similar to i3

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing wlroots (0.17.0-1) breaks dependency 'libwlroots.so=11-64' required by swayfx
:: installing wlroots (0.17.0-1) breaks dependency 'wlroots<0.17' required by swayfx

SOLVED: swayfx was problemetic even by installing, changed sway.
