To lock the screen on suspend

1. Save the Scripts folder in your /home/%username/ directory.
2. Modify the %i in user and path in "[email protected]" file in Scripts.
3. Move the [email protected] in /etc/systemd/system.
4. Make it executable

$ chmod +x [email protected]

5. Then enable it for your user.

$ systemctl enable lock@<username>.service

This should do the trick.

To show low battery alert

1. Install feh by:

sudo apt-get install feh

2. Make the batter-low.sh script executable by

chmod +x battery-low.sh

3. Edit the config file to run the script on every reload

exec_always /home/shisui/Scripts/battery-low.sh

To remove screen tearing

1.Install compton by :

sudo apt install compton

2. Edit ~/.config/compton.conf or wherever you keep your config files

# basic configuration
backend = "glx";
vsync = "opengl-swc";

glx-copy-from-front = true;
glx-swap-method = 2;
xrender-sync = true;
xrender-sync-fence = true;

# transparancy settings for i3
opacity-rule = [
  "0:_NET_WM_STATE@:32a *= '_NET_WM_STATE_HIDDEN'"
];

or this variation

backend = "glx";
glx-no-stencil = true;
paint-on-overlay = true;
vsync = "opengl-swc";

Choose what is working for you. 3. Now you can start compton with that config file to test if it solves the problem for you:

compton --config ~/.config/compton.conf -b

4. If that work for you, you can place it in your i3wm config file, so it will be loaded on startup –

exec --no-startup-id compton --config ~/.config/compton.conf -b

Adding live volume measurement in i3status

1. Edit /etc/i3status.conf and add:

order += "volume master"

2. Also add the volume function:

volume master {
        format = "♪: %volume"
        format_muted = "♪: muted (%volume)"
        device = "pulse"
}
