i3 set costum screen layout as default

Writer Emily Wong

How do I set my screen layout so that I don't ever have to do it again? Here is what I have so far:

  1. $ arandr
  2. set the layout I want (for 3 monitors)
  3. [save as] screen_orientation.sh
  4. (Now what should do?)

Present situation is that if I exit i3 and re-login, then I lose the layout and I have to set it again. How do I set it indefinitely?

You have to configure this in your i3-config file. Something like

exec ~/screen_orientation.sh
