I have no real idea how to do that (and if it's possible) either. I

Hi,
you should really look at the i3 logs, as often windows change their
titles and such *after* they are mapped and afaik firefox is a
prime example of this. So the state of the window when you run Xprop is
really no indication as to what you should put in your i3 config (as

Hi,
I think the easiest way would be, to have a perl-script, that gets the
currently active output over IPC and sends the command "workspace
$1_{output}", when called with "scriptname n", then put into your config
file something like this:

Hi Karl,
nice idea, but I don't really understand why you not just draw on
i3lock's window? That way you don't have to maintain a fork, we keep the
number of forks to a minimum (so… 0 hopefully ^^) and still everyone
gets to implement their favourite thingy as a wrapper. You can use
"xwininfo -nam

Hi all,
there has been people who want to display time and similar statistics in
a locked screen. In fact there has already been a fork [1] to do such
things.
If you want something similar, but don't want to follow or maintain a

though not really i3-specific, there were a few people in the

I just stumbled upon this comment in i3-dump-log. I assume, this is what
was intended, as we obviously have to read.
Also, a few lines later, the comment again refers to O_RDWR, though
there it should actually be PROT_WRITE.

how about

or (if you don't want to restart the whole of i3)
$ i3 reload

$ killall i3bar
And then execute every line of $BARS again (I'm not that good in

if I'm not totally mistaken, the new command-parser of -tree was
