In Short
If you are running the i3 tiling manager on an eink screen, you might want to have a custom configuration file that is optimized for this kind of devices.
This configuration file has been tested on:
- Lubuntu 16.04 and 18.04
- i3 4.14.1-1
- Dasung Paperlike Pro
It should work just fine on any other 13.3' e-ink screen, such as:
- Onyx Boox Max 2
- Onyx Boox Max 3
- Onyx Boox Max Lumi
This configuration file is meant to be used in in conjuction with lxappearance => High Contrast, and other per-app settings.
Getting Started
$ sudo apt install i3
$ i3-config-wizard
```
Select the `modifier key ($mod)` you prefere - for ex. the Windows key.

$ git clone https://github.com/numbworks/i3_eink_config.git
