just install plasma and i3. Copy my i3 configuration and the file ~/.config/plasma-workspace/env/wm.sh. Restart X (keep using plasma as session) and you have your DE+WM environment. Then just start playing with configuration and themes :)

When I try this, KWin runs on top of i3 blocking almost all of the screen except for i3bar. Is there any additional things you need to configure in order not to spawn KWin?

The answer is at the bottom of OPs i3 config file. 

## Plasma Integration
# Try to kill the wallpaper set by Plasma (it takes up the entire workspace and hides everythiing)

exec --no-startup-id wmctrl -c Plasma

for_window [title="Desktop — Plasma"] kill; floating enable; border none



## Avoid tiling popups, dropdown windows from plasma

# for the first time, manually resize them, i3 will remember the setting for floating windows

for_window [class="plasmashell"] floating enable;

for_window [class="Plasma"] floating enable; border none

for_window [title="plasma-desktop"] floating enable; border none

for_window [title="win7"] floating enable; border none

for_window [class="krunner"] floating enable; border none

for_window [class="Kmix"] floating enable; border none

for_window [class="Klipper"] floating enable; border none

for_window [class="Plasmoidviewer"] floating enable; border none
