Esta dica mostra como fazer uma configuração bem simples no i3-gaps e é basicamente uma continuação de uma dica anterior: Pós-instalação Simples do Slackware Current (2019) [Dica]

Após realizar os passos da dica anterior. Faça o seguinte.

Baixe o SlackpkgPlus em:

• Slackpkg+ - A slackpkg plugin for third-party repositories

Instale com:

# installpkg slackpkg+*tgz

Configure:

# nano /etc/slackpkg/slackpkgplus.conf

Adicione o repositório do alienbob:

REPOPLUS=( slackpkgplus alienbob )

...

MIRRORPLUS['alienbob']=http://bear.alienbase.nl/mirrors/people/alien/sbrepos/current/x86_64/

# slackpkg update gpg
# slackpkg update

Baixe o Sbopkg em:

• sbopkg : the slackbuilds.org package browser

Instale o Sbopkg, sincronize e depois instale o slpkg, o i3 e demais apps:

# installpkg sbopkg*tgz
# sbopkg -r
# sbopkg -i slpkg
# spkg update
# slpkg -s sbo i3-gaps i3status i3lock feh volumeicon rofi

Faça logout, depois:

xwmconfig

Escolha i3-gaps nas opções.

Ao iniciar o i3, pressione Enter nas duas perguntas.

A dica poderia acabar aqui, mas resolvi acrescentar algumas configurações pessoais.

Configure o arquivo do i3:

nano ~/.config/i3/config

Adicione o rofi no lugar do dmenu:

bindsym $mod+d exec rofi -show run #dmenu_run

Troque o terminal padrão pelo terminal do Xfce:

bindsym $mod+Return exec xfce4-terminal #i3-sensible-terminal

Mova a barra de status para o topo:

bar {
status_command i3status
position top
}

Por fim, adicione um bloco de comandos para habilitar o gaps (Super+Shift+g):

set $mode_gaps Gaps: (o)uter, (i)nner, (h)orizontal, (v)ertical, (t)op, (r)ight, (b)ottom, (l)eft
set $mode_gaps_outer Outer Gaps: +|-|0 (local), Shift + +|-|0 (global)
set $mode_gaps_inner Inner Gaps: +|-|0 (local), Shift + +|-|0 (global)

bindsym Return mode "$mode_gaps"
bindsym Escape mode "default"
}

E aplicativos que devem iniciar automaticamente com o i3:

exec --no-startup-id xcompmgr

exec --no-startup-id xfce4-clipman

exec --no-startup-id volumeicon

Salve e feche o arquivo.

Depois reinicie o i3 com Super+Shift+r.

Se quiser alterar o i3status, pode copiar o i3status do Manjaro:

cd ~
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oberon-manjaro/i3status-manjaro/master/i3status.conf -O .i3status.conf
nano ~/.i3status.conf

Faça as modificações que achar necessárias.

Depois reinicie o i3 com Super+Shift+r. E papel de parede? E estilos de cores do i3? E isso e aquilo? A intenção dessa dica foi oferecer uma configuração mínima e nada mais. Para qualquer outra dúvida, procure no VOL ou faça sua pergunta no Fórum do VOL.

Abraço.
