Colourful i3 Config
My personal i3 Configs
Clone the following git repo and install the theme
addy-dclxvi/i3-starterpack
A simple guide (and example of configuration) to install i3 & its and essentials packages, then make them look eye candy.
(https://github.com/addy-dclxvi/i3-starterpack/)
Remove .urxvt .wallpaper.png and all other images from home directory after install.
Replace i3, i3status and bash configs with the below.
