It's possible the component behaves differently or lacks certain features. Likely it should still function.
Change the background color of the window using --bg-fill. You can add this setting to your .xinitrc file for permanent effect or create a simple loop that picks a random one periodically. For icons in i3, you can use i3-wm-iconpatch from the AUR, or replace i3-bar with alternatives like lemonbar or lxpanel/xfcepanel which support macOS features. WPA_GUI works well for setting up Wi-Fi if the standard wifi-menu isn't sufficient. For AUR packages, a download helper is recommended to simplify updates when needed (I prefer packer).
I’ll check later. If so, I should perform better than my claimed speed. (I don’t understand why.) Great, thanks. Can I have a dock with an applet or statusbar together? And would it be possible to hide the dock only when another window is visible? Still want access when a window is open. If not, keep it hidden. I’m fine with giving up screen space but prefer not to. I just don’t know how to get an applet for this on i3. I was also curious about a settings panel, but I doubt that’s available right now. I’ll look for or create programs to adjust those settings and try to merge them into one window—something like a control panel on Windows or System Preferences on Mac. Can it update programs I built myself from the AUR? I’d rather compile them myself. Also, I tried installing the linux-lts-ck kernel last night but it couldn’t verify signatures for the linux tar file and another one (I’m not sure which). I installed the latest LTS kernel before trying to compile it since the wiki said the corresponding kernel must already exist. What should I do about this?
I work with nitrogen. Just add commands like "exec --no-startup-id nitrogen --restore" into your i3 settings. It also offers a helpful interface for choosing images. Many users are familiar with backgrounds that skip i3-gaps or use composite managers (so they only notice the background when idle or windows are minimized—lolwat). For file management, I usually prefer pcmanfm or Nautilus (Nautilus has an odd window limit but it’s okay). Everyone who’s into Mac-like looks uses Ranger. If you manage it well, share a screenshot.
I've managed to get most of it running. The LTS kernel resolved the Wi-Fi issue, but now the window manager isn't loading properly. When I run SDDM, it freezes and the cursor appears as an X. It loads on startup, though. Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?
