Perhaps it would make the border coloring more visible if it took all the space between windows instead of just half of itSat, 14 Jun 2014 17:43:25 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/3981/different-width-for-each-border/?comment=3982#comment-3982https://faq.i3wm.org/question/3981/different-width-for-each-border/?answer=3983#post-id-3983Short answer: No, the border widths on all sides are always equal. Long answer: There's an option, "hide_edge_borders" (mentioned in the i3 User's Guide) that can hide window borders around the edges of the screen, but the width of the borders can't be controlled, and it only applies to borders, not titlebars.

Pity, I don't see the point of those borders. I'll accept the answer and assume it's definitive. I'll change it if it turns out there's some waySat, 14 Jun 2014 19:07:11 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/3981/different-width-for-each-border/?comment=3984#comment-3984
