First, I ran this to generate the config file:
```
$ i3-config-wizard
```

Here I chose Windows key as my mod key.

I made bindings to adjust volume and brightness.
```
bindsym $mod+F1 exec amixer sset 'Master' toggle
bindsym $mod+F3 exec amixer sset 'Master' 5%-
bindsym $mod+Shift+F3 exec amixer sset 'Master' 5%+
bindsym $mod+F5 exec xbacklight -0.5
bindsym $mod+Shift+F5 exec xbacklight +0.5
```

I increased the font size for window title and bar.
```
font pango:monospace 10
```

I added wallpaper.
```
exec_always feh --bg-fill +0+0 ~/Pictures/wallpaper.jpg
```

I changed tab bar font color because it is hard to see.
```
client.unfocused #333333 #444444 #ffffff #292d2e #222222
```

I changed the background color of bar.
```
colors {
  background #282A2E
}
```

I set the default terminal to alacritty.
```
bindsym $mod+Return exec alacritty
```

I added binding to scrot (screen capture).
```
bindsym $mod+F11 exec scrot -F ~/Pictures/SS/'%Y-%m-%d-%H%M%S.png'
```

For i3status, I set the color to false and set the interval to 5 second.
```
general {
	  colors = false
	  interval = 5
}
```

I used these modules: battery, memory, volume, and tztime.
