This is a config files of my tuned developper desktop environment based on i3. Focused on performance, lightweight and efficiency. Thunar for file manager, urxvt for temrminal, conky, dropbox and some other awsome stuff. I currently run it on Arch Linux but also work on other distributions in difference of package names.
Clone the config
git clone https://github.com/j-san/i3-config.git ~/.i3
And install i3 and following packages. After that, reboot.
