no windows transparent why? about voidrice

You're probably lacking the required dependencies. polybar must be installed for the status bar and transparency requires compton.

Same issue over here, compton already installed, and also polybar.

Edit: I have found the source of the transparence issue: compton is not starting with startx neither with a Shift+R. However if you type compton -b (demonize) then is all fixed. This is very strange, I think there is a problem with the parsing of the i3 configuration file, because other features (like changing the font in the terminal) are also missbehaving.

[LukeSmithxyz]

Yes, that's intentional in the sense that now that I don't really use transparency, I don't really use compton, so it doesn't autostart in my i3 config. You'll notice there's a commented out line to start it in the i3 config.

On the font resize issue, do you have urxvt-resize-font-git installed?

[Panadestein]

I fixed the problem. It was just a matter of edit the file ~/.Xdefaults and add the corresponding entries for for urxvt transparency and enabling compton in the i3 config file (see for instance this forum post) . With respect to the font size, what I meant is that it is not longer customable from ~/.config/i3/config but using ~/.Xdefaults instead.

Additionally (and I am sorry, this should be another thread) there is a conflict between two alias in the generated ~/.bashrc, for instance v makes reference to alias v="cd ~/Videos" and to alias v="vim", which I solved changing one of them.

Right now I am actively testing the rice created using the amazing LARBS in a fresh Arch Linux install, as can be noticed. Things that I would like to fix in addition to the previous issues:

• Lagging in urxvt when using vim with large files

• My PS1 have lost the colors when in tty.

• Sometimes executing $mod+Shift+Esc log me out but enters in a loop of searching email address. Probably related with mutt config?

And that's it by now, thanks again for the wonderful job Luke. I will keep using it and having fun!
