Justin Sure, but i don't have dot files on git or anything...is it ok to paste it here? It isn't too long.

      Justin Would you mind sharing your configs or how to set this up

      Sure, it depends on what you want to setup by the way... i3 itself is as easy as a eopkg it i3, but it needs more tools to have common desktop goodies. Of course I'll share my i3 config if you need...

      Here are the programs I use with i3 WM:

      • Rofi as launcher (see first screenshot)
      • Compton for decorations
      • Dunst for notifications (see first screenshot in this post)
      • Nitrogen for wallpaper
      • i3-status for the discrete status bar (bottom right on desktop)
      • Glava for audio visualisation
      • A bunch of terminal tools (ranger...) and home made scripts 🙂

      Justin Also what apps are they

      Common gtk apps like gedit and nautilus with csd buttons disabled to suit i3 visualy (see screenshots in this post), striped firefox as webbrowser since I do all searches and launch website from the terminal (see second screenshot in this post). The bookmarking website in my previous post is home made webapp, the google window is also firefox.

      Justin How do you move the floating windows? With mouse or keyboard shortcut?

      Both by the way, it's your choice in i3, pure keyboard or keybord+mouse, in my case I move window by pressing Super key and dragging it. Gtk+3 apps with headerbar like nautilus can be moved regulary in floating mode.

      i3 is not in tiling mode on the screenshots because I use floating mode by default and individualy tile apps when I need, for writing or coding...

      Here is a screen to demonstrate simple tiling session with firefox and gedit:

      Also the gtk theme is my own (a work in progress...), made to suit my minimalistic-psycho-mind 😮

      Feel free to ask for any config, script or advice... (I wrote useful script for managing brghtness, volume, touchpad... for i3)
      And have fun 😃

              Staudey Yeah it's pleasure to use this setup...

              Keep in mind that I've added some tweaks to i3 defaults, like gtk theme, firefox via userchrome.css, disabled gtk csd buttons and custom scripts to manage global i3 behaviour that you can't see on the screenshots...

              I'm a big fan of budgie, but I admit I really enjoy i3 flexibility and speed. This stuff is really fast! And heavy terminal and keyboard usage is a huge time saving for my daily tasks...
              Feel free to ask for any advice...

                Monsieur_Caillou Thank you! So many times you ask a user how the configured i3 but get nothing, this is great, detailed and screenshots too. I'll be spinning this up and testing it out on a VM (have borked my main work/primary machine too many times now).

                    Justin It a courtesy credit for the graphic art he/she may be spent hours to create it so i just linked it.

                        viyoriya They're linked in the post so they're already given credit.

                          Monsieur_Caillou Hey. I'm new to Linux, and for the first time I chose solus os. I was very attracted by the screenshots of your desktop, everything is minimalistic, as I like. Could you fully describe the installation and configuration process? currently using budgie desktop


                              Loved it so much on my desktop that I threw it on my laptop. Honestly should have been the other way around. Something about Budgie on a screen with a much higher DPI looks killer. Now I want a 4k monitor.

                              dug where is it ? where is it ? where is it ?....lol

                                dug

                                Yeah! This is the Spinal Tap "Black Album" Wallpaper!
