I do just have a first version of the ISO ready to try for you!
It has i3 as Live-Session and will install i3 in offline mode.
You can also install all other DE’s from online install like on the official ISO.
This is just a fun project i do, as some users asking to offer something like that, so i do try to simple change the Live-Session and implement another DE to test if it will work easily.
WOW thanks for that ISO @joekamprad, although I’m a window manager newbie i tried out the live iso and liked it A LOT. Only question i have is the default bar at the bottom for me the font is way to small, how do i enlarge the bar/font? Thanks!
So i could set it like this
font Ubuntu Bold : Ubuntu Bold 14
Try this it would be better:
font pango: Ubuntu Bold 14
Personally font size 12 as a standard would be cool, imho anyway.
don’t make angry the i3 coders, then 12 unfortunately would remove lot of space on your i3bar !
Let’s say 11 as standard is a compromise…then at the end you could adjust it as you want.
We know that we couldn’t adapt for everybody display, think about the ones who still use 1366x728px resolution. We suppose to stay around 1440x900 minimum now which we did also for Calamares…then for those who use huge display, they could adjust in consequence.
Awesome! Never tried i3, look forward to try a live usb. Would also be handy to create one for cinnamon
How does i3 wm cope with high dpi retina screens? Gtk vs qt app scaling, just wondering… also about laptop and external monitor with different resolutions.
Just tried out the i3 wm in a VM, it is tempting… Following the i3 wm userguide,
I realized two things, first the config file for EnOS has slightly different shortcuts keys than on the i3 doc website (which is ok). The second thing is that the .config file is missing workspace 1, it starts at 2. Don’t know if it is on purpose but that threw me off, was easy to fix but I am total newbie what concerns wm, literally the first time I tried i3.
