From 8e2bcf9a083bed87bdcd00862f0e7a36c4a0c1db Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mikaela Suomalainen Date: Mon, 18 Feb 2019 12:32:45 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] i3: stack by default, centerize titles & add compton comment I seem to be unable to find happiness with default and often after opening multiple windows my first thing to do is moving to stacked or tabbed layout. Stacked layout seems easier to split than windowed which is still easy to reach and centerized titles probably benefit windowed layout the most. The compton example makes everything transparent and is horrible. --- conf/i3/config | 9 +++++++++ 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+) diff --git a/conf/i3/config b/conf/i3/config index e98f8ba2..f7c65940 100644 --- a/conf/i3/config +++ b/conf/i3/config @@ -112,6 +112,13 @@ bindsym $mod+a focus parent # focus the child container #bindsym $mod+d focus child +# Default to stacking layout as it should be easy to make a grid and I +# probably have too small monitor to benefit from "default", +workspace_layout stacking + +# Centerize window titles +title_align center + # Define names for default workspaces for which we configure key bindings later on. # We use variables to avoid repeating the names in multiple places. set $ws1 "1" @@ -242,6 +249,8 @@ exec --no-startup-id pasystray --notify=all # ~/.wallpaper as wallpaper exec --no-startup-id feh --bg-scale ~/.wallpaper exec --no-startup-id xcompmgr -c -n +# Make everything a bit transparent, you don't want this. +#exec --no-startup-id compton --active-opacity 0.95 --inactive-opacity 0.95 -m 0.95 -e 0.95 # CHANGEME - weird autostart options that may not be suitable even for my other devices # Centre of Lauttasaari
