Too few arguments for command note!
Usage: .note <name>
subtle halo
what
earnest peak
if you read the manual, gaps is a configuration option
subtle halo
so i have to add it to the config
earnest peak
it's literally under the configuration section, yes
i3 also allows commands at runtime, but this isn't the same as the terminal
subtle halo
do i have to exec it
earnest peak
if you want to set the gap, set it in the config, the only point of doing it at runtime is to test settings out
pretty much all your questions here can be answered by reading the i3 manual
if you question is regarding i3-gaps vs i3, they're the same thing now
code was merged, and the manual will reflect that
earnest peak
not upstream IIRC
there is this:
https://github.com/jbenden/i3-gaps-rounded
much less maintained, I don't suggest using that unless you want to personally fix things
otherwise you would have to do it in the compositor, picom might have an option?
subtle halo
this is fine
how do i make terminator transparent, i set the setting but it isnt working
earnest peak
you need a compositor, picom also fixes that for you
i3 is a X window manager, but it does not compose windows. If you use X without a compositor, the default behavior is to have no alpha channel blending w/ the xorg driver.
if you install and run picom you will see transparency instantly function
picom also has a bunch of other stuff, shadows, etc.
