So I used xrandr –dpi in order to adjust the dpi of my HiDPI screen on i3wm on Arch (antergos). It seems to have worked well for i3 itself and other apps like Chrome and Telegram, but all the Gnome apps (such as Terminal or Calendar) are not affected by this change and still look … Read more
.. and what can I do about it? When you try to get some information about the currently focused window you’re often told to just run xprop -root _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW to get the window id of the currently active window. But sometimes – e.g. when a terminal window is on top – I get 0x0 as … Read more
Sorry for the long title. Wanted it be a little specific. I have an issue with my urxvt (rxvt-unicode) terminal emulator that’s using a themed fish shell. The problem is that when I launch urxvt with mod+enter the line wrapping messes up causing the datetime part to wrap onto the next line. Furthermore, when i … Read more

Answer Answering my own question; I was misunderstanding the documentation of i3-msg. It is possible to wait for some window event as follows: $ i3-msg -t subscribe ‘[ “window” ]’ In my … Read more
I currently use Gnome, but it has the peculiar tendency to sometimes focus on a window that’s not on the foreground, and often not even visible (because I mostly maximize my programs). So my question is, is there a window manager that explicitly disallows this kind of behavior, or explicitly ‘puts on top’ any window … Read more
I’m trying to get scratchpad to work on my i3wm setup. I’m following some directions I got off YouTube with it’s corresponding code. Even after my edits I can’t get it to work. I’d like for i3 to launch the application and then move it into the scratchpad so I can bring it back and … Read more
