[SOLVED]urxvt - black lines - i3

Draucia · 2011-09-01 12:54:26

My urxvt leaves some weird black lines on the terminal. I don't have this problem in dwm, only in i3. I don't know why, I don't run urxvt with any special flags or anything like that. Here is a screenshot:

I read urxvt 7 and it said it's because of the font. I tried running it without the terminus font (URxvt*font: xft:terminus:size=8) and it still shows the black lines.

Here's a way how you can solve this: http://i3wm.org/docs/userguide.html#_changing_colors

Umm isn't that for the color of the window decoration?

Sorry, I meant the second thing there, the one with client.background color, see

If you use a color other than black for your terminals, you most likely want to set the client background color to the same color as your terminal program’s background color to avoid black gaps between the rendered area of the termianal and the i3 border.

I missed that part. Thanks a lot. I'm loving this wm sooo much. So better than dwm. I have one question:

Is it possible to remove the window decoration of windows and make the window name appear on the bar? Maybe through dzen2?

You can change the decoration with this http://i3wm.org/docs/userguide.html#_bo … ew_windows In your case, use "none".

Well it only has an option for a 1px border. Is there a way to change that? And is it possible to get the current window name in dzen2?

If you want no decoration at all, use "none", which behaves like 0pixel. That's what you want, right? No window borders at all?
About the current window name in the bar, I don't know about that. It might be scriptable... I don't know how, sorry. Maybe ask in the i3 thread, there are people there who know i3 a lot better than I do, especially the new version, which I don't use (I still use v3.e_bf3)

Well I kinda want a pixel border on all windows (no matter if they are selected or not) and a different color pixel on windows currently selected (because right now two terminal windows look like one). I will ask on the i3 thread, thanks.

Oh that, well that's what you see here http://i3wm.org/docs/userguide.html#_changing_colors! Just read it and you'll get it.

Yeah I've read that. You can only changes the top and bottom line/border (I think) with those. The thing is, it doesn't GIVE a border to unactive windows (unless on new_window normal, but then it displays that window decoration).
