i3wm, how to align multiple containers?

[Roman_Gruber]

I look for some advise regarding the following setup on my first virtual screen in i3wm, which should be done via config file on startup.

My wish:

********************
lilyterm | xclock
********************
lilyterm
********************



lilyterm, right to it, split horizontally and reduced a bit in size xclock to the right
Below another lilyterm.


Its rather difficult and I don't get the documentation how to set it up.

There are Splitv and splith and resize to do this job but I can't get it to work, probably I miss some of the hint in the documentation: http://i3wm.org/docs/userguide.html#_changing_the_container_layout


well if you want to autostart a lilyterm on the first virtual screen you add this to i3/config file.
