I would like to disable border for those windows, without disabling the border for other floating windows. How can I do that?Mon, 15 Sep 2014 05:17:31 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/4627/disable-border-only-for-splash-screens/https://faq.i3wm.org/question/4627/disable-border-only-for-splash-screens/?answer=4628#post-id-4628The command to change the border to a thin line around the window is border 1pixel for_window [criteria] action runs action on all new windows that meet criteria example `for_window [window_role="^splash$"] border 1pixel` may do it if not the entire list of criteria is available at http://i3wm.org/docs/userguide.html#command_criteria to find out the criteria for a given window you may run xprop from the terminal and click on said window and examine the output. This will tell you what criteria you want to match on. Note ^foo means starts with foo and foo$ means ends in foo.Mon, 15 Sep 2014 05:40:17 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/4627/disable-border-only-for-splash-screens/?answer=4628#post-id-4628https://faq.i3wm.org/question/4627/disable-border-only-for-splash-screens/?comment=4651#comment-4651That’s a good general answer, but there is no criterion for the window type (yet), so you cannot match on the type being `_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_SPLASH`. Patches for that would be accepted, though.Fri, 19 Sep 2014 06:19:07 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/4627/disable-border-only-for-splash-screens/?comment=4651#comment-4651
