# 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.
