Could you please share your dots? I am particularly interested at the poweroff rofi menu.

The power menu is a tweaked version of adi1090x's https://github.com/adi1090x/rofi/blob/master/power/card_circle.rasi
using the style of https://github.com/adi1090x/rofi/blob/master/launchers-ribbon/ribbon_left_round.rasi also by himb

I could imagine it was taken from that repo but I am interested in yours and not of that of somebody else ;P

Looks great!
Meanwhile I'm still struggling to change colours in i3 and set everything up. Baby steps...

you will get there. trust me

I've been slowly getting better, just be constant and you'll make it!

Thank you! <3
It's all thanks to adi1090x's dotfiles :P

A man of culture and kindness!!!

Mind uploading your rofi files? Since I'm unable to understand how you were able to tweak it to use coloured bars on the side
2
Hey there I got the style idea from here. https://github.com/adi1090x/rofi/blob/master/launchers-ribbon/ribbon_left_round.rasi
Basically you put all your borders to 0 except left border for the rofi menu and the container, then you make just the bottom corners round for those two (see around lines 31 and 92).

Thanks a lot
2
Innovative workspace icons. Love it.
2
Thank you! Did you notice how the main icon is a planetary mass with an orbiting saletllite? And the workspace names are the "phases" of this satellite! I couldn't resist to get inspired on the luna moth colors and markings since it's my favorite buggo!
2
Woah.. didn't know that. I was just looking at the "phases".

Looks awesome!!
Could you please share the dots?

I mostly took those ideas from the repositories I posted
I tweaked polybar from the polybar-2 folder in https://github.com/adi1090x/polybar-themes

Cool, thanks.. will try to use them
2
we should have more UIs with rounded corners....it looks so nice and pleasant
2
I'm waiting for the rounded/kawase blur picom fork to be merged since i3gaps-rounded was abandoned
1
You really like Sakanaction huh, cant blame Shin Takarajima is so good i listened to it on repeat
2
That was courtesy of shuffle play! but I do love them, kikUUiki is my favorite album from them!
2
how would you get those rounded corners? border radius? 9 split? something else?
2
Only on rofi, yes, with border-radius.
However there's a picom branch currently in review that would add rounded corners to all windows
2
gotcha. do you have any link or name of that experimental picom branch?
1
here it is https://github.com/ibhagwan/picom
1
thanks dude. will i have to use this branch, or has it been merged upstream into "main" picom?

Is it correct to install xfce first. Install i3 and remove all traces of xfce WM?
2
Yes, its simpler to part from xfce
2
This is super nice! I love the color scheme. Both bright and dark/sane.

Soooo, this theme is finally coming around together and I decided I should finally post it
Details:
xfce4+i3gapspolybaron toprofilauncher and power menuhermitfontTweaked Polybar theme from https://github.com/adi1090x/polybar-themes
And Rofi theme from https://github.com/adi1090x/rofi
Wallpaper https://imgur.com/a/xn0Q5R2 If anyone knows who the artist is please add it in the commentsss
Colors and icons inspired by the beautiful Actias Luna moth.
May I wonder, why use xfce4 with i3? I mean, why use xfce-session for that? Does it have any benefits?
If I am correct, OP replaced xfce's window manager with i3. By doing that you have the comfort of i3 but also you have other things automatically handled by xfce, like for example mounting an external harddrive or locking the screen etc. If you go full i3 you need to have a solution and add it to your i3 config
I've been slowly moving to i3 since the start of the year, tried just i3 first and I kinda felt something was missing so I've been slowly tweaking my themed tools to replace XFCE (rofi instead of whisker menu, polybar instead of xfce4-panel, some scripts to replace pavuconrtrol, etc. I'm sure I'll move outta the training wheels soon enough.
Is there any guide to do this? Xfce + i3?
I'ts fairly easy, just replace xfwm with i3wm, you can do this changing the xfsettings, you may or may not need to remove xfwm from the xfce session and startup application xfce app
xfconf-query -c xfce4-session -p /sessions/Failsafe/Client0_Command -t string -sa i3
This guide here is okay too
https://feeblenerd.blogspot.com/2015/11/pretty-i3-with-xfce.html
I've been on i3 for 2 and a half years. I still use pavucontrol. It didn't occur to me til now that I could use some scripts to replace it.
I took that from here https://github.com/marioortizmanero/polybar-pulseaudio-control I'ts pretty nice, now I don't have to open pavucontrol to switch audio devices
Apparently Adi1090x's rofi themes don't work well with version 1.6.0. May I know which version of rofi you are using? 1.5.4 or 1.6.0?
