reducing i3 bloat...
Is there a way of getting rid of the window decor?
I have found info on border size, new_window and hide_edge_border - but not the window title on top.
Cheers.

Re: reducing i3 bloat...
few options here ....
set default
can also set keybindings for when using the cool i3 tab and stack functions
set default
Code: Select all
## new window default border
new_window 1pixel
new_float 1pixel
## set multi-pixel default border
#new_window pixel 2
#new_float pixel 2
Code: Select all
## change border style
bindsym $mod+t border normal
bindsym $mod+y border 1pixel
bindsym $mod+u border none

also one of the great things about i3 is the wealth of documentation

Thanks to your reply, it worked out with:
Code: Select all
## window style
new_window pixel0
new_float pixel0
Re: reducing i3 bloat...
good to hear. Since the thread title is generic for i3 config stuff, keep it open for other questions / ideas

Re: reducing i3 bloat...
turns out to be quite slick
no border + no title when floating, maxed or tiled
if tabbed or stacked a title is automatically added
happy

Re: reducing i3 bloat...
For Honey Users (or maybe a barebones i3 install);
on a related theme (pun intended) I wanted to go dark on the gtk side of things.
Not knowing which file to create, I installed gtk-chtheme, 117k later everything's set as I wished!
LXappearance did not apply the settings.
bacon has already included numix and flatlook so thats no prob.
one odd thing, on fresh boot, no i3bar -not even a blank space for it, hit Reload key combo - it pops up - weird.

Re: reducing i3 bloat...
you could change themes manually without the need of lxappearance
Code: Select all
[editor] ~/.gtkrc-2.0

Re: reducing i3 bloat...
while we're speaking of reducing i3 bloat, and I've mentioned this elsewhere at some point, but reduce i3 footprint by adjusting exec
In my .xinitrc, I have
check the before and after ;)

Re: reducing i3 bloat...
@lxappearance: there is a bug, and even the fix via siduction (-1.1) doesn't fix it. Apparently lxappearance writes to the wrong location. Ain't nobody got time for dat. Meanwhile, do as dkeg says and edit manually, or use gtk-theme-* to preview.
not really reducing the bloat but what I find a nice addition to xinitrc is
in case the default keybind to exit i3 is somehow misbehaving.
