# 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](https://tbrindus.ca/ricing-wsl/).
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](https://github.com/Xyene/wsl-dotfiles/blob/master/wsl.vbs)
**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).
