i3-config

A backup of my i3wm config.

All these files should be placed in ~/.config/i3

Dependencies

• Regolith (i3 for Ubuntu & Gnome)
• i3-gaps (a fork of i3)
• i3blocks (status bar)
• Rofi (app launcher)
• Compton (shadows & opacity)
• Dunst (notification daemon)
• Font Awesome (icons)
• Nitrogen (wallpaper manager)
• Starship (shell prompt)
• Snazzy (terminal color scheme)
• Dracula (dark theme for GTK)

Quick install

# Install everything on a fresh Ubuntu setup
curl -fsSL https://git.io/i3-config | bash

The command above will:

• ~~Install i3-gaps dependencies and build i3-gaps from source~~
• Build i3blocks from source
• Install Rofi, Compton, Dunst, Nitrogen...
• Install Regolith
• Download and install Font Awesome fonts
• Override i3 config with this repository
• Download and set the wallpaper
• Install Starship
• Install Snazzy color scheme for gnome-terminal
• Install Dracula theme for GTK
• Install Flameshot, Google Chrome, Sublime Text, and Node.js

The script should work on a fresh Ubuntu setup. For any other distro, I'm almost sure it won't work.

Using on a HiDPI display

You can set scale and DPI value like this:

# i3
echo "Xft.dpi: 125" >> ~/.Xresources

# Other apps (Chrome, Nautilus, Terminal...)
echo "export GDK_DPI_SCALE=1.25" >> ~/.profile

Or just use the dpi.sh script from this repo:

~/.config/i3/dpi.sh high # On HiDpi display

~/.config/i3/dpi.sh low # On regular display

sudo reboot
