i3-config

My i3wm configuration files.

Introduction

I've been a i3wm user since 2016, but my workflow, habits, and configuration never stopped evolving.

Instead of re-configuring all my setup manually everytime I use a new computer, I use this repository to setup everything with a single command.

I also use it as a backup so I can always revert my configuration in case of mistakes.

Setup

This repository contains all the configuration files for the different tools I use daily.

It can be cloned anywhere you want, but you'll have to symlink each one of these to the right place:

Source	Destination
i3/	~/.config/regolith2/i3/config.d
bar/	~/.config/regolith2/i3rocks/conf.d
dunstrc	~/.config/dunst/dunstrc
Xresources	~/.config/regolith2/Xresources

Dependencies

• Regolith (i3 + gaps for Ubuntu & Gnome)
• Dunst (notification daemon)
• Font Awesome (icons)
• Starship (shell prompt)
• And more

Quick install

# Install everything on a fresh Ubuntu 22.04 setup
curl -fsSL https://git.io/i3-config | bash

The command above will:

• Install Regolith Desktop and some sub-dependencies
• Remove all default Regolith settings
• Build and install dunst from source
• Clone this repository in ~/.i3-config and create symlinks
• Install default i3blocks scripts
• Download and install fonts & wallpaper
• Install zsh, Starship, Google Chrome, Sublime Text, Node.js, rivalcfg, Flameshot...

The script should work on a fresh Ubuntu 22.04 setup. For any other distro, I'm almost sure it won't work.

Other

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
