Installing on Funtoo

Latest versions of Qtile are available on Funtoo with Python 2.7, 3.3, and 3.4 implementations. To install it, run:

emerge -av x11-wm/qtile

You can also install the development version from GitHub:

echo "x11-wm/qtile-9999 **" >> /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords
emerge -av qtile

Customize

You can customize your installation with the following useflags:

  • dbus
  • widget-google-calendar
  • widget-imap
  • widget-keyboardkbdd
  • widget-launchbar
  • widget-mpd
  • widget-mpris
  • widget-wlan

The dbus useflag is enabled by default. Disable it only if you know what it is and know you don’t use/need it.

All widget-* useflags are disabled by default because these widgets require additional dependencies while not everyone will use them. Enable only widgets you need to avoid extra dependencies thanks to these useflags.
