r/i3wm

Hi! this is my first rice (ever). Feel free to comment.

>Note: The demo video is best viewed on a desktop in fullscreen.

I built i3title, a lightweight tool that makes it easy to pipe arbitrary data into i3bar.

I’ve been using it myself for a long time, and recently decided to polish it up and share it publicly.

By default, i3title uses the empty space in your bar to display the current window title and the active i3 mode side by side.

You can also pipe anything you find useful into it from your scripts or the command line.

Setup is just:

status_command i3status | i3title

It’s a lightweight enhancement to i3’s default status bar setup, turning otherwise unused space into a dynamic, highly customizable information panel.

Feedback, questions, and suggestions are welcome!

Hey everyone,

I know this sub is dedicated to our beloved i3wm, but I recently spent some time building a clean, Samurai-themed lock screen for Hyprland (`hyprlock`) and wanted to share it with the

ricing community here for some aesthetic inspiration.

I've always loved the minimal, functional styling that you often see in i3 setups, so I tried to bring that same philosophy to this lock screen:

* **Kanji password dots:** Every keypress renders a Japanese kanji character (桜 - Sakura) instead of standard circles.

* **Japanese date format:** Rendered cleanly as `2024年08月14日`.

* **Fully transparent input field:** No borders or outlines, just floating characters.

* **Clean overlay:** A large, minimal clock overlay with muted green tones over a dark katana wallpaper.

I know `hyprlock` isn't usable on i3 directly (since we have tools like `i3lock` and `i3lock-color`), but I'd love to hear what you guys think of the design, or if anyone wants to

adapt this visual concept into an `i3lock-color` script!

**Repo if you want to check out the code/assets:** [hyprlock-samurai on GitHub](https://github.com/basantbansal/hyprlock-samurai)

If you like the aesthetic or want to adapt it for your i3 setup, a ⭐ on the repo would be incredibly appreciated!

my own status bar called orbit-status my own run launcher called orbiter and finally my own speedtest utility called realspeed-cli

[OC] rizzoo - a cross platform color generation tool implementing Material 3 Expressive.

https://github.com/plgbrlism/rizzoo

good day, i introduce yet another color palette generator from images using the updated Material 3 Expressive Scheme/Style generation. It also includes few cli feats such as url or via link image color extraction as well as cross-platform wallpaper wrappers for setting in any environment, preferred source color picking, scheme/style blending as well, and more. The templating engine is very usable as well but it still on its early stage, but the configuration capability offers more interesting capability its just im still lacking a proper documentation site and its one of my roadmaps. The workflow will be very familiar as the inspo of this project is very mature. A very promising material palette generator, i hope for new ideas and fellows to talk about this project more technically as i have big plans integrating this theming tool for my future projects.

Fiz um rice no i3wm juntando um monte rice e mudando eles pra ficar algo que chegue perto de uma config que gosto. Alguma dica pra eu melhorar esse rice?
