wsl-dotfiles

My dotfiles for running an i3-based environment within WSL, working as of Windows Fall Creators Update (version 1709).

I wrote a bit about this setup here.

Included are configuration files and scripts for:

• i3-gaps
• rofi
• terminator
• polybar
• time-of-day dependent wallpaper switcher
• script to launch VcXsrv and i3 from Windows

When running with a HiDPI display, make sure to override VcXsrv.exe's default scaling settings to application-controlled (Compatibility tab of Properties). Otherwise, Windows will incorrectly scale it, capping your X server to around half the resolution it should be displaying at (e.g. 1600p instead of 4K).
