users. Is it possible (using exec in config) to start a couple of terminals on a workspace and resize them in tiling mode (using i3-msg?) when i3 starts?

If I do it manually (i3-msg resize shrink etc) it works, but putting it into an exec line in the config just starts the terminals and the resize command does nothing.

Any help would be awesome 😀

@paul run the terminal with an explicit command, then have the command drop down to a shell?

@SoniEx2 This is a good idea, I'm going to try this. Ta 👍

Ok, it looks like this is the way to achieve this:
