to me seeing the full ssd name on the bottom bar is less attractive and clutters the space. I comment the #[net] #label=SSID: etc part in the i3blocks.conf to remove it.
probably useful too to uncomment the exec blueberry-tray to see bluetooth too.
Thanks for the eos tweaked version and efforts, I really like that wm!
The right keyword is gaps not gap.
Thats a tiny typo. Uncomment the lines, and change “gap” to “gaps”. Your config will work…
Outer gaps are the distance of windows from monitor edges. Inner gaps are the empty distance around all windows. At the edges, total gaps is inner+outer. I set my outer gaps to 0, and inner to 4px. Of course, personal preference. Set it to anything that suits you.
Gaps shows a bit of the background. It also lets you see the window borders and easily identify which is the active window. (with zero gaps, just open a bunch of terminal windows and try figuring out which is active currently). The way I like it is to set a small gaps just enough for the window border to be visible. (4px gaps, and 1px border). Again, set the values to whatever suits you.
A tiny suggestion (if you need it):
Add the following to your i3 config to have gaps when multiple windows are open and no gaps if only one window is open
That is actually not the issue. I reported this this morning. There was an error in the script that called for i3. The new default is i3-gaps it also works as intended without commenting out those lines. They are in the config becuase of the change.
Yesterday I pulled from github (to be on the same page), not another branch. Just saw you are right, I actually have “gaps” and not “gap” in the config file, was asleep this morning, typo… tried to run it again but get the error in i3 config file red bar.
@joekamprad 's github drops right on top of KDE plasma. Been a long day. I will play more later. I just switched the environment at sddm login to i3 after running the commands in the readme.
