If on x11, you can use redshift. While there is also a gtk version, as well as configuration to have it auto-switch like flux, I just use the manual way. redshift -O will set a desired color temperature, and -x cancels. I bound it to Mod+audio keys, but the choice is yours. text/html 2022-06-03T20:49:06+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://wiki.tonytascioglu.com/scripts/i3/kill_program?rev=1654289346 End All Use of Program in i3 Need to quickly shut off chrome to save RAM before it crashes? bindsym Control+Mod1+q exec "killall chromium && killall firefox" Though calling xkill is also a classic.

If you have more then one display, it will mess with the aspect ratio. The solution is simple. If you are on X11, this can be done with xinput. You can also use xsetwacom with libinput. text/html 2022-06-03T20:47:20+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://wiki.tonytascioglu.com/scripts/i3/mouse_acceleration?rev=1654289240 Disable Mouse Acceleration in i3 I don't like mouse acceleration usually, and prefer to use a linear model. On full DE's like KDE, there is always an option to set this. In i3, we can set all mice to disable acceleration using libinput and xinput exec_always for id in $(xinput list | grep "pointer" | cut -d '=' -f 2 | cut -f 1); do xinput --set-prop $id 'libinput Accel Profile Enabled' 0, 1; done text/html 2022-06-03T20:54:51+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://wiki.tonytascioglu.com/scripts/i3/notifications?rev=1654289691 Notifications in i3 Instead of each program using notifications, an easy solution is to use dunst.
