Setup for :
- i3, a great tiling windows manager
- In fact i3-gaps, to add padding between windows
- And i3-lock-color, an improved lock screen
- LightDM with custom GTKTheme and background
- Sublime Text 3
- Polybar, a great replacement for i3-bar with easy custom plugins
- Terminator
- ZSH with Oh My ZSH!
- Dunst, a great and lightweight notification daemon
- Random things (GTKTheme...)
Requirements
Configuration makes use of these things, just to record but not mandatory :
- oh-my-zsh
- fasd
- Pygments (with
pygmentize
command) - Powerline Fonts
sudo pip install --upgrade google-api-python-client
- SpaceFM
- PlayerCTL
- GTK Arc Theme
- Fonts : Noto Sans, DejaVu Sans, MaterialIcons, Symbola
What is this, Chosto ?
I used a lot Debian/Ubuntu with Gnome. So a full Desktop Manager with a stacking Windows Manager. A friend of mine showed me i3, a great and customizable tiling Windows Manager (i.e. no windows stack, just divide the scren and take all empty space).
With some customization and additionnal component (in this repo), I managed to get a functional and pleasant yet lightweight environment (for me, no brag).
So basically, what I like about this setup is that there is no useful menu bar anywhere and no border. Just windows with gaps between them when multiple windows are on the same screen.
I added to the classic Arch/i3WM :
- A notification daemon (urgency-aware), Dunst, controlled by shortcut (but possibly with mouse).
- A fancy lock screen, with optionnal suspend-to-RAM, either triggered by hotkey or when there is no activity for X minutes.
- A Display Manager (LightDM), for login and X starting.
- A great File Explorer (SpaceFM), with hotkey / command-line / screen-split / protocol handlers / events support.
- ZSH with Oh My ZSH and excellent community plugins (Git aliases, Docker autocomplete, FASD bindings, cat and man coloration...)
- Some mappings to control ALSA volume from dedicated keyboards buttons, to play/plause players compatible with MPRIS D-Bus Interface spec ; some changes to key speed (X settings) ; Smooth and dark theme for GTK and for Sublime-Text...
Usage
Please note : on my system XDG_CONFIG_HOME is $HOME/.config.
- Clone in bare repository :
git clone --bare https://github.com/Chostakovitch/dotfiles.git $HOME/.cfg
. A bare repository does not have a working tree (basically it is just.git
content). So we avoid conflicts with another git repository. - Create a working tree outside
.cfg
:/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.cfg/ --work-tree=$HOME checkout
. - Adjust
DEFAUT_USER
in~/.zshrc
. - Source
~/.zshrc
and use providedconfig
alias to pull. config config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no
to ignore untracked files in status (better as it is home dir).
