I would rather configure: 1) to hide after some period of time (few seconds) or 2) not to get focus at all (ignoring highlighting). Is this possible?Mon, 27 Aug 2012 08:54:53 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/385/bar-focusing-on-activity/https://faq.i3wm.org/question/385/bar-focusing-on-activity/?answer=386#post-id-386Configuring it to ignore highlighting is not possible currently. However, in the latest git version, this commit might be of interest to you: http://code.stapelberg.de/git/i3/commit/?h=next&id=875130e7e8e32ffbc3166388cfc81893ff6584d1 (it will hide i3bar automatically, but not based on a timeout).Mon, 27 Aug 2012 09:53:50 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/385/bar-focusing-on-activity/?answer=386#post-id-386https://faq.i3wm.org/question/385/bar-focusing-on-activity/?comment=402#comment-402Would you accept a patch adding configuration value to ignore bar showing on highlight?
