moving i3 bar to top of screen

[chaseydog]

I'd like to move i3 bar to the top of the screen. I tried modifying ~/.config/i3-regolith, and then reloading i3, but the bar remains on the bottom bar { position top ...existing bar config }

[chaseydog]

Looks like I should have been editing ~/.config/i3-regolith/config-4.16-labuntu18ppa10 and not ~/.config/i3-regolith/config Working now as expected

Yep, you got it @chaseydog . If you have any ideas to make it more obvious which file is the one to be edited, please let me know. :smile:

[chaseydog]

Thanks Ken,

Now that I've moved the bar to the top I need to preposition Conky. I tried editing /etc/conky/conky.conf but that didn't work. What file do I need to edit?

/etc/xdg/conky/config is the file you want. It's mentioned here: https://regolith-linux.org/internals.html

However you could also find it (not easily, granted) by seeing this in your i3-config file: exec --no-startup-id /usr/bin/regolith-ftue.sh. This script shows this get launched: /usr/bin/conky-toggle.sh. That script shows conky gets run: /usr/bin/conky -q -c /etc/xdg/conky/config

[chaseydog]

Thanks. Funny thing is I almost looked at regality-flue.sh. Guess I should have followed through. I’ll take a good look at the intervals page as well. Thanks again for the help.

I just installed Regolith on Ubuntu 22.04 and would like to move the bar to its natural place too. However, there is no file like the one referenced above. In fact there is no i3-regolith folder inside .config.

$ aptitude search regolith-desktop
i   regolith-desktop            - metapackage for Regolith desktop envi
v   regolith-desktop-meta       -                                      
v   regolith-desktop-session    -     

$ ls ~/.config/i3-regolith/config*
ls: cannot access '/home/lads/.config/i3-regolith/config*': No such file or directory

$ ls ~/.config/i3-regolith
ls: cannot access '/home/lads/.config/i3-regolith': No such file or directory

Regolith 2 has it's config under .config/regolith2. It also uses i3 partials now so please check the documentation!

[ldesousa]

Thank you @ferdinandyb for the swift reply. There is no config file in the folder you mention:

$ ls -la .config/regolith2
total 16
drwxrwxr-x  3 lads lads 4096 dec 10 16:02 .
drwx------ 12 lads lads 4096 dec  9 21:54 ..
drwxrwxr-x  2 lads lads 4096 dec  9 21:52 flags
-rw-rw-r--  1 lads lads  104 dec 10 16:02 Xresources

The documentation page mentioned above thred is no longer available (https://regolith-linux.org/internals.html). There is a configuration section in the manual but it does not reference a config file.

Please read this section on how to configure regolith with i3 partials: https://regolith-desktop.com/docs/using-regolith/configuration/#i3-features

Especially the part below the table.

[ldesousa]

I finally located the i3 bar settings in Regolith 2, they are in /usr/share/regolith-look/default/i3-wm, outside the partials folder. What would be the canonical way of costumising these?

[kgilmer]

For configuration elements like these, Xresources is the primary way of specifying values. The xrdb command can be used to view existing settings and discover keys. Ex

$ xrdb -query | grep bar
...
i3-wm.bar.position: bottom

So to put the bar on top, we would add a line to your user Xresource override file to specify an alternative value:

$ echo "i3-wm.bar.position: top" >> ~/.config/regolith2/Xresources

Similar to how one might make the bar be hidden by default, documented here: https://regolith-desktop.com/docs/howtos/hide-i3-bar-by-default/

If you prefer, you could also make this change at the i3 config level. This page describes the details there, but it essentially amounts to coping the default values into your user directory and uninstalling the base package (to prevent conflicts).

[ldesousa]

Thank you Ken, that worked.

Dear all,

reading the manual I understand the user can definite its own key bindings by copying and modifying one of the config files in /usr/share/regolith/i3/config.d. I tried a couple of custom bindings (see below) but even though the config reload reports no errors, none of the bindings thus defined function. What would be the correct method of doing so?

Thank you.

$ cat ~/.config/regolith2/i3/config.d/10_user_bindings ###############################################################################

User key bindings

###############################################################################

Launch // Firefox // <> x

set_from_resource $i3-wm.binding.firefox i3-wm.binding.firefox Shift+x bindsym $mod+$i3-wm.binding.firefox exec --no-startup-id gtk-launch firefox

Hi all,

this morning a workspace 11 appeared on the status bar. What is it? How can I access it? Never seen something like it on i3.

Thank you.

Dear all,

the past few days the keyboard layout is being modified automatically. It mostly happens when returning from sleep mode or from a locked screen, but it has also happened changing workspace.

I can reset the layout with setxkbmap, but it would be preferable to disable alternative layouts, and/or fix the layout I am used to. However, I cannot find how to this on the Regolith DE. What am I missing?

Thank you.

Regolith 4.3 on Ubuntu 22.04

@ldesousa could you please open a new issue for unrelated problems?

[ldesousa]

Hi Bence,

are you trying to reply to my e-mail about the keyboard layout (sent some minutes ago)? Somehow your reply is appearing in an old thread closed months ago, not in the new thread.

I don't want to open an issue, at this moment I can't say if this is bug or not.

Thank you.

You are replying to a github issue via email, so it is still on the same issue: https://github.com/regolith-linux/regolith-desktop/issues/81#issuecomment-1794677057

Regolith doesn't have a mailing list, for discussions there is the github discussions (https://github.com/orgs/regolith-linux/discussions) and slack, with possible a matrix room coming up.
