@joekamprad Downloaded your ISO from above and installed offline. Looks good.
One question though. If you press ‘Meta-key c’ it should close the active window.
However, when I bring up Rofi (F9) ‘Meta-key c’ doesn’t close Rofi, it just puts a c in the entry window. I did discover that clicking the desktop outside of Rofi closes it.

Is this by design I assume?

So far. other than that it works as expected. Just a matter of learning all the symlinks again.

this is related to rofi itself it does not behave as a window, it is more a menu :wink:

Thanks. That makes sense. I think the last time I used i3 I just pretty much used dmenu, but rofi is much better.

If I installed i3 on ARM from the current arm script, how much difference would there be from what I am seeing now on this x86 install? I am considering using i3 on an Odroid N2+ as my development setup.

EDIT:
Is there a way to set up a world clock on i3? Since I joined the Antergos forum and now on the EndeavourOS forum, I have become dependent on Gnome’s world clock.

or conky

the panel can output everything in letters and number what a script can produce :wink:

#!/bin/sh

PT=`env TZ=US/Pacific date`

echo "Santa Clara    $PT"

╭─joekamprad@empowered64 ~ 
╰─$ sh worldclock.sh

could be a script scheduling the different times from places you want

Yeah - but it’s handy when you’re ‘talking’ to people in those places… after all, you know whether it’s dinnertime for them, and you can gab about the weather too! I used to have a pic or 2 of those places showing too, but Macleay Island was too depressing at this time of year!
