i3 arch linux dotfiles for a cat named george

hi, I'm LetsHaveKiddos and these are my arch linux i3 dotfiles for a cat named George.

I highly recommend using redshift with your theme or using some kind of blue light filter. It's a light theme, protect those eye balls!

i3's borders are somewhat crucial. I'm not sure if other window managers allow for creating borders on the fly but 1 px border with this color #201723 is how I have my i3 conf setup.

Picom isnt' really required here but I do have fading enabled. /shrug

Optional

Picom (aur/picom-ibhagwan-git or archcraft/picom-ibhagwan-git)****

Requirements

Kitty (terminal emulator with gpu acceleration)

Dunst

BetterDiscord

Polybar

Rofi

Nerd Fonts Complete Mono (aur/nerd-fonts-complete-mono-glyphs) Required by polybar, feel free to change fonts, I just really like dejavu sans.

edit: if requested I can upload colorscheme for alacritty as well or most/all terminals.

NOTES

You may want to change vsync or refresh rate option in picom. I have shadows disabled in this particular rice because it felt more cohesive --kind of pen and paper-esque. Just felt right. Feel free to tinker to your likings however.

I use i3lock & betterlockscreen in place of a logindm. The power menu will call to a betterlockscreen script.
