I've scoured Google, this site and the docs, but I can't figure out how to make it smaller. It used to be just 1 pixel or something, now it's more, and the dividers between the i3status elements are wider as well. This makes the bar take up more vertical screen space than necessary. Anyone know how to fix this problem? My version of i3 is 4.8 (2014-06-15, branch "4.8").

So if you have a screen with a resolution well above the common 96 dpi ("Retina", "Ultra-HD") i3 may use two pixel for these borders instead of one.Wed, 29 Oct 2014 16:10:15 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/4882/thicker-workspace-button-border-in-i3bar/?comment=4884#comment-4884Comment by Maarten for Hi, Since I upgraded to Ubuntu 14.10 I have a thicker-than-before border around the workspace buttons in my bar (see screenshot below).
