## Installation

You are encouraged to copy stuff you like to your own configuration files. If you want to copy my setup, you can use the script `install.sh` (that script is normally mostly for myself though).

Create a symlink to a background image in `~/.config/i3/background` or `~/.config/sway/background`, and to a lockscreen image in `~/.config/i3/background_lock` or `~/.config/sway/background_lock`.
