I3 configuration setup

I3-Setup

In this repository, I present my humble Linux i3 configuration. I use the following packages:

• i3-gaps-rounded: A fork of i3, a tiling window manager with rounded corners.
• kitty: A fast and customizable terminal.
• Rofi: A versatile window launcher, file browser, and more.
• Polybar: Primarily designed to help users create impressive status bars, it includes built-in functionality to display information about commonly used services.
• Betterlockscreen: An excellent lock screen that seamlessly integrates with tiling window managers.

Dependencies

Before getting started, ensure you have the following packages installed:

• i3-gaps-rounded
• kitty
• polybar
• betterlockscreen
• rofi
• feh image viewer
• blueman, a Bluetooth manager
• brightnessctl
• Maim for screenshots
• JetBrains Mono font
• FontAwesome
• Noto Sans Modi

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/Shinji13/I3-Setup

2. Navigate to the directory and provide execute permission to the setup script.

 cd I3-Setup
 chmod +x setup.sh

3. Run setup.sh and select a theme.

./setup.sh

This script will configure the files for you. Reload i3 with Win+Shift+R, and you're good to go.

Note

setup.sh will override your current configurations for the mentioned packages, so consider backing up any necessary files.

Unit Files

Some systemd unit files need to be added to your system.

betterlockscreen.service

This service manages screen locking on suspend and sleep.

1. Copy the unit file.

cp ./units/betterLockScreen.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/

2. Enable the service.

sudo systemctl enable betterLockScreen.service
