My Dotfiles Part 3: i3wm and polybar

Disclaimer

Since writing I have redone my dotfiles and these are no longer maintaned. Check out my new dotfiles underhttps://github.com/peerlator/dotfiles.

What’s this?

In this blog post series I will tell you about how I created my dotfiles and how you can create yours. I will tell you about what I use, how I use and configure these programs and how I have made changing the configurations easy. The structure of the following blogposts will be: {% include dotfiles-table-of-contents.md %}

What’s i3wm

i3wm is a window manager, just like KDE, GNOME and Openbox. A window manager is basically a program with which you can manage the placement of windows. However i3wm is different to most of the mainstream window managers. i3wm is a tiling window manager, which can be controlled through only the keyboard. A tiling window manager has the advantage, that there is basically no screen space wasted as it the application windows maximise to the space on the screen, which is not used by other applications: https://opensource.com/sites/default/files/uploads/i3screenshot.png_

Pros of i3wm:

Complete customization
Minimal screen space wasted
High efficiency
Extremely beautiful setups
Floating support

Cons:

Takes time to get used to
Windows made for floating are often loaded into tiling, which can look ugly (For Example the pop up login windows in chrome)

I recommend, that you go ahead and learn a little about i3wm. Here are some resources

How we install and configure i3wm

dotfiles
├── i3
│   ├── install.sh (The installation file)
│   ├── reload.sh (Script to concatenate the configuration files)
│   ├── general-settings.i3
│   ├── general_keyboard_shortcuts.i3
│   ├── resize.i3
│   ├── startups.i3
│   ├── workspaces.i3
│   └── colors.i3
├── distro.sh
├── packages.sh
├── helpers.sh
├── special_installs.sh
└── install.sh

As we can see we now have the install.sh files, which means that we have to add a function to helpers.sh and execute in install.sh. Append the following code to helpers.sh:

function _run_install_files() {
  for filename in $(echo $HOME/.dotfiles/**/install.sh | tr " " "\n")
  do
    source $filename
  done
}

and then call this function in the install.sh file (The one in the root directory). Now we will have to create the i3/install.sh file:

_install i3-gaps # better i3wm
_install xorg xorg-init
mkdir $HOME/.config/i3/
mkdir $HOME/.config/polybar/ # needed for the script to run
source i3/reload.sh
echo "exec i3" > $HOME/.xinitrc # start i3 by running startx

As you can see we have multiple .i3 configuration files. However this is not the default method of configuring i3. The config is located in the ~/.config/i3/config file. When configuring i3 the config file can get 200+ lines long. That’s why I chose to simply concatenate the .i3 files. When changing the configuration I have a keyboard shortcut to run the reload.sh script. We will simply run cat on all of these files:

echo > ~/.config/i3/config && # empty the current config file
for f in $HOME/.dotfiles/**/*.i3; do (cat "${f}"; echo) >> ~/.config/i3/config; done && # cat every file and add a new line every file and append everything to the config file
i3-msg restart # Restart the window manager

Now we have everything set up to configure i3wm. Let’s start by learning about the basics

Basics of i3wm’s Configuration

The configuration of i3wm is luckily fairly simple once you get the trick. I recommend that you don’t desperately try to memorize these commands, as you can easily search online for the problem. Luckily the i3 community is fairly big. Some of the basics are:

Note: The comments(#) can only be used at the beginning of lines and not at the end of a line, like in the examples {: .notice}

Keybinding Configuration:

bindsym <keybinding>      <command>
Examples:                                               # The space between the keybinding and command aren't necessary
  bindsym	$mod+Return	    exec $term                    # $mod is short for Modifier key (Windows/Super) and $term is a variable set in the config file
  bindsym $mod+m          move workspace to output left # move let's you move a window to a different location
  bindsym XF86AudioStop   exec playerctl stop           # exec let's you execute a shell command

Variables:

set <variable name>       <value>
Examples:
  set $term 	            st                            # Sets $term to st
  set $mod	              Mod4                          # Sets $mod to the modifier key
  set $shutdown 	        sudo -A shutdown -h now       # You can also use variables as shortcuts for commands
With Xresources:
  set_from_resource <variable-name> <xresources-name> <default-value>
  set_from_resource $darkblack      color0	          #0000000

Modes:

# modes are "states", where different keybindings are used in comparison to the default mode
mode <mode-name> {
  <the keybindings>
}
bindsym <keybinding> mode <mode-name>
Example: See resize.i3

Exec:

exec <command> # execute command only when i3 is booted
exec_always <command> # execute command everytime i3 reloads (also boots)
Examples:
  exec_always --no-startup-id $HOME/.dotfiles/polybar/launch.sh # launch polybar everytime i3 reloads
  exec --no-startup-id compton # launch compton only when i3 boots

My Configuration

As my config is split up into multiple files. Many things are self explanatory. With the knowledge you currently have you should be able to figure out most of the meanings of each of the configuration by yourself. I will just give you the file name and content:

These are my configurations. These commands may seem like a lot of commands to remember, however I tried to make them very intuitive and in addition, you will use most of them frequently. Now we have an usable system, however the system does not look very nice. One of the features of i3 is, that the status bar can be changed. I chose polybar

What’s polybar

Polybar is a statusbar, which can be used in many desktop environments. Polybar supports multiple bars, which means you can have one at the bottom and one at the top (like me). The bars are then populated with so called modules. These modules simply display a text, which changes according to what you specify. In addition you can interact with some of the modules, like the date module. Polybar has many predefined modules, which can be customized, however you can also create your own. I recommend that you go ahead and look at some of the configs over at unixporn and some of the examples by the creator of polybar.

Basics of Config

As polybar already has an good configuration documentation, you can just browse through it and find relevant Information. The configuration use the INI file format and I believe are easily readable and understandable. I believe the best way to learn about polybar (just like almost any other program) is experimentation. I encourage you to just use my config or any other config and experiment

Installation of Polybar

dotfiles
├── polybar
│   ├── install.sh (The installation file)
│   ├── launch.sh (Launch Polybar)
│   ├── bar-bottom.polybar
│   ├── bar-top.polybar
│   ├── battery.polybar (Can be deleted when your computer does not have a battery)
│   └── general.polybar
├── distro.sh
├── packages.sh
├── helpers.sh
├── special_installs.sh
└── install.sh

As you can see, we will use .polybar files, which means, we will simply have to duplicate the code in i3/reload.sh and modify it. Append the following to the i3/reload.sh file:

echo > ~/.config/polybar/config &&
for f in $HOME/.dotfiles/**/*.polybar; do (cat "${f}"; echo) >> ~/.config/polybar/config; done &&
i3-msg restart

To install polybar you will simply have to install the package polybar. polybar/install.sh is sort of overkill, how ever it is necessary to have a modular system where you can simply delete a folder:

_install polybar

To launch polybar, we want to do the following:

Kill current polybars
Get all monitors
Loop through the monitors and load both bars

This translates to:

# polybar/launch.sh
killall polybar
for MONITOR in $(polybar --list-monitors | cut -d":" -f1);
do
	polybar --reload top &
	polybar --reload bottom &
done

The $MONITOR variable will be called in the configuration file. With all this we can now configure polybar to our likings and can avoid 300+ lines long config files.

My Configuration

This is what my config will look like Just like with i3 I will simply show you my config files and you can decide wether to use them or use other config files.

And with this we have finished Part 3 of my dotfiles series. I hope you enjoyed it and if you have any questions you can contact me via email or your platform of choice. After finishing this tutorial you should have a usable system. However note that you will have to install stuff like st and a browser, before using this setup. These configuration files still need many applications to function correctly, so if you want to use my configuration, you will either have to modify it to your likings or will have to install my dotfiles, where the other programs are included. In the next post I will present to you my zsh configuration and what I use to make my zsh experience better.
