Here you go:

I moved a VS Code window next to the browser, so that you can see the lovely gaps and that I've got a Solarized brain recently :D

Wow this looks pretty amazing! Thanks for sharing.

Right now I am convinced to change to i3.
Project for the next couple of days (of course with the same nice gap between the borders 😜)

Thanks!

If you want a reference, you can take a look at:
github.com/goyozi/dotfiles

The quality is obviously "just for personal use", but maybe you can pick up a couple of tricks.

There's also github.com/goyozi/playbooks , which sets up the entire desktop if you have a VM with fresh Arch installation to experiment on (the default user/pw is grzegorzz/changeme).

Wow that is full service! Thank you so much!
Will set it up this evening and play around with it a little bit. Maybe I will borrow some tricks :)

If you want to switch to i3wm, this is the best i3wm introduction ever: youtube.com/watch?v=j1I63wGcvU4&li...

This playlist is much as you need for initial configuration and knowing how to use and configure i3. I stand behind this tutorial because my friend, who was completely new to Linux, managed to learn i3 from this playlist.

If you want to peak into my configuration, I have multiple tricks in there, so here it is: github.com/Godje/dotfiles/tree/mas...

Feel free to text me some time if you want to understand what my config does, lol. I have comments here and there, but if you already know how to configure i3, you will understand how it works.
