troubleshooting

My screen resolution changed and i want to revert it

Check in the repo folder, the i3 config file .config/i3/config, look for xrandr and replace the resolution and the output.

If you don't have any idea of that, simply run xrandr in your terminal and you will be able to see the available outputs and modes for your screen(s). e.g. - if you have a VGA monitor should be marked as "VGA-0" or similar, that's the output. For mode it's just the resolution e.g. 1360x768 so if you want to apply all that, simply put xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1360x768 in the i3 config.

I have another version of picom.

Simply remove that version and install the ibhagwan's version. Kill the process (pkill picom) before do this. If you're in Arch simply do yay -R picom and then yay -S picom-ibhagwan-git.

It looks different on my screen...

If you have any problem installing the dotfiles, open an issue and don't forget to provide logs and your machine info (use neofetch or similar), you can provide screenshots if needed!
