My i3wm configuration

Things to install

To make it work, we need to install some tools.

The Window Manager

Well, everything is setup inside the i3wm, so it's required.

    sudo apt-get install i3wm

The Background tool

Used to change the background each minute, if you don't want this, remove it on config file.

    sudo apt-get install feh

Monitor tool

This tool can be used to change the monitor\display. It's just a wrapper for xrandr, may help you to get used with this.

    sudo apt-get install arandr

Custom bar / LemonBar

I'm not using this, but if you want, you can install a custom bar.

    sudo apt-get install libxcb-xinerama0-dev
    sudo apt-get install libxcb-randr0-dev
    git clone https://github.com/LemonBoy/bar.git lemonbar
    cd lemonbar
    make
    sudo make install

Bluetooth utils

bluetooth-wizard

Install font awesome

This is used on the i3bar, to add custom icons, if you don't want custom icon on the bar remove it from the config file.

    mkdir ~/.fonts
    wget https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/raw/master/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.ttf
    mv fontawesome-webfont.ttf ~/.fonts/

File Explorer

If you're not used with terminal to explore file, you can use Thunar to do so. It's pretty similar to gnome file version.

    sudo apt-get install thunar
    sudo apt-get install gnome-icon-theme-full

FireFox Theme

Just a firefox theme https://github.com/horst3180/arc-firefox-theme

GTK Appearance tool

This tool changes all GTK applications appearance, to apply this, you need to do it manually.

    sudo apt-get install lxappearance

    unzip YosemiteSanFranciscoFont-master.zip
    mv YosemiteSanFranciscoFont-master/*.ttf ~/.fonts/
    rm -rd YosemiteSanFranciscoFont-master
