i3

i3 configuration.

The goal of this configuration is to be versatile and easily adaptable for different setup so :

  • Common settings are shared between computers
  • Specificities can be easily specified with minimal modification
  • Keep git branch and history management radically minimal

This is still a work in progress (WIP) and structure can change according to future needs.

Bar

We use Polybar for a bar. To launch, the i3 configuration expects the presence of a launch.sh script in the directory ~/.config/polybar/launch.sh. This file has an entry in .gitignore to avoid accidentally adding it as it's shouldn't be tracked. It's a machine specific file.

Background

Background uses feh for display. A script .feh-bg is expected to exists at the root of the user's home directory. The script is simply launched at i3 startup.
