The easiest way is to use ranger, navigate to the file you want as your background, and press \f(CWbg\fP.
|
The i3 configuration will always read the file \f(CW~/.config/wall.png\fP as the wallpaper.
|
||||||
To be specific, i3 will always be looking to the file in \f(CW~/.config/wall.png\fP for the wallpaper, this ranger command copies the given file there and reruns feh to update it.
|
The script \f(CWsetbg\fP, if run on an image will set it as the persistent background.
|
||||||
So if you want a persistent wallpaper, move/rename it to \f(CW~/.config/wall.png\fP.
|
When using the file manager, you can simply hover over an image name and type \f(CWbg\fP and this will run \f(CWsetbg\fP.

.HEADING 2 "How do I update LARBS?"
|
||||||
|
.PP
|
||||||
|
LARBS is deployed as a git repository in your home directory.
|
||||||
|
You can use it as such to fetch, diff and merge changes from the remote repository.
|
||||||
|
If you don't want to do that or don't know how to use git, you can actually just rerun the script (as root) and reinstall LARBS and it will automatically update an existing install if you select the same username.
|
||||||
|
This will overwrite the original config files though, including changes you made for them, but this is an easier brute force approach that will also install any new dependencies.
