[ Clean shot, no windows ] [ Some terminals open, nothing unusual ] [ GVim running ] [ Vim running in gnome-terminar ]

Fonts:

• Droid Sans Mono

Software:

• i3 (dohh)
• dmenu
• conky
• nitrogen (optional, for easily changing wallpapers)
• i3lock (optional)

Keyboard shortcuts:

• $mod+Shift+Return launches gvim
• $mod+Shift+F1 launches icedove
• $mod+Shift+F2 launches dwb, an excellent lightweight, vimified Webkit browser
• $mod+Shift+F3 launches iceweasel, which is the Debian version of Firefox
• $mod+Shift+p shows a quick htop via gnome-terminal -e htop
• Print for taking screenshots via ksnapshot (customize as you wish)
• $mod+Print calls a dirty hack for locking the screen (a custom xflock4)
• $mod+Shift+F5 calls a custom script named camshot (included)
• $mod+Shift+Delete calls a custom script named toggle_touchpad (included)
• XF86AudioRaiseVolume calls volnoti-handle.sh up (included)

First, find them in the scripts/ directory. Then symlink them to /usr/bin/ or /usr/local/bin/ or in whatever is in your $PATH variable. Take a look at it in your terminal: $ echo $PATH.

ln -s $HOME/.i3/scripts/toggle_touchpad /usr/local/bin/toggle_touchpad

• toggle_touchpad is a small script that uses synclient to toggle the touchpad state on and off
• camshot uses fswebcam to take a quick picture with your webcam and save it (useful in various situations)
• volnoti-handle.sh is a volnoti wrapper to quickly adjust the volume with lightweight dependencies. Since I rely on Kmix for some time now, I disabled it, but it's still a great option for the resource freaks.
• my version of xflock4 is a hack, since I use the power manager from Xfce and it relies in xflock to lock the screen. I simply uninstalled the thing and replaced it with a custom made i3lock wrapper (check the source). Then again, adjust as you wish, maybe fork and improve it since it's just a hackish prototype for now. The i3lock wrapper wasn't my idea, but I can't remember who I should credit for it :-(

• NetworkManager, via nm-applet - can't live with it, can't live without it...
• nitrogen, because I like the easy wallpaper switching and multi-head options
• (optional, disabled) background setting via feh, using a custom NG PotD scraper available via GitHub. The scraper is called via cron, downloads the image and forces a symlink for feh to grab and set as wallpaper.
• Kmix (only suitable for people with heavy KDE deps installed too)
• Redshift, which does wonders for the eyes at night
• Xfce power manager daemon, lightweight and efficient
