[customizing window manager (i3)]

Thanks, I basically have the same view. I like i3 because it is simple and it does exactly what I want, without unnecessary animations, declarations, etc.

I was just thinking about usefull 'helper' programs people use with i3 (or other lighweight wms) e.g. dmenu, conky, feh, xscreensaver or lxappearance.

 

I have thought about using lxpanel or xfce4-panel with i3 but for now I do not feel the need for it.

 

I am looking foreward to hear what programs people use to enhance their desktop experience.

[customizing window manager (i3)]

Hi everybody,

 

as everyone I want to have an awesome desktop. I recently switched back to i3 from xfce. I replaced i3status with conky+JSON and changed the default window colors. I am quite happy with my setup now. And I am looking foreward improving the desktop even more. 

I have read the 'Screenshots' thread and noticed that you all have very nice customized desktops.

 

So I would like to hear what software tools you use and prefer.
