i3-config

Template based multihead i3wm configuration

Installation:

via curl:

$ sh -c "$(curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DrSpeedy/i3-config/master/scripts/install-config)"

manually via git:

$ git clone https://github.com/DrSpeedy/i3-config.git ~/.config/i3

Enviornment Variables:

Add these to the top of your bashrc/zshrc configurations

export I3_CONFIG=/path/to/config
export PATH=$I3_CONFIG/scripts:$PATH

Basic usage:

Currently these configs/scripts are designed to go under $HOME/.dotfiles/i3, this can easily be changed but all scripts must be updated.

Generate new config:

$ genconf

Generating a new config will automatically compile all files under i3/template/* together into i3/config based on priorety numbered priorety.

Choose new theme:

$ gentheme <path to theme>      # Apply the colorscheme to the 09-colors.conf template
$ genconf                       # Regenereate the config
$ i3-msg restart                # Restart i3

An example theme can be found under i3/themes/. This script was inspired by acrisci/i3-style as a way to continue using his themes with the template system.

Multihead mode:

The configuration is already set up to display workspaces 1-5 on $mon1 and 6-10 on $mon2 so long as the system is actually displaying on them. Use: Option 1: docked workstation mode; Option 2: undocked mode; Option 3: TV mode

$ multiheadmsw <option>

This script was put together to switch back and forth between docked/undocked mode on my laptop.
