i3 was created because wmii, our favorite window manager at the time,
|
|
|
|
|
didn't provide some features we wanted (multi-monitor done right,
|
|
|
|
|
for example), had some bugs, didn't progress since quite some time and
|
|
|
|
|
wasn't easy to hack at all (source code comments/documentation completely
|
|
|
|
|
lacking). Still, we think the wmii developers and contributors did a
|
|
|
|
|
great job. Thank you for inspiring us to create i3.

Please be aware that i3 is primarily targeted at advanced users and
|
|
|
|
|
developers.

This requires libev, yajl, and dmenu.

i3status and dzen2 are optional, but useful to provide a system status
|
|
|
|
|
bar.
