i3wm + GNOME

---

⚠️ Are you looking for your first contribution to Open Source?

We are looking for a new co-maintainer for this project. If you're a newcomer to Open Source we'll happily invite to help you get started.

This is the roadmap we have planned so far for this year:

• Welcome a new maintainer (specially if it's a newcomer).

• Improve the wiki. We can either set up a GitHub Page or improve the wiki section.

• Add packages for Fedora and Ubuntu. Currently, we have the AUR Arch Linux package.

If this sounds good to you then open an issue and on the title put: "I want to help on this project".

Allows you to use i3wm with GNOME 3 Session infrastructure.

What do I get by installing it?

• A way to manage GNOME things such as your cursor/icon, (GTK) themes and online accounts.
• A friendly bridge that keeps your stuff from GNOME in an i3 environment.
• Useful for people that are getting started with i3wm, but don't want to uninstall their current desktop environment.

Requirements

• i3-wm/i3-gaps
• GNOME (40.x)
• GDM (optional, but useful)
