I've googled around and found only a suggestion to look for such functionality in the WM and not `xcalib` or other external tools. So, any ideas for i3wm? (I do use `xcalib -i -a` extensively, but I need more selective color inversion as well) Sun, 21 Dec 2014 16:40:35 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/5249/how-to-invert-colors-in-only-one-window/https://faq.i3wm.org/question/5249/how-to-invert-colors-in-only-one-window/?answer=5252#post-id-5252*i3* does not support this directly. You may have some success by using it together with a compositing manager like *compiz*. *compton* is supposed to work well with *i3*, but I do not know if it supports color inversion.Mon, 22 Dec 2014 10:57:03 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/5249/how-to-invert-colors-in-only-one-window/?answer=5252#post-id-5252https://faq.i3wm.org/question/5249/how-to-invert-colors-in-only-one-window/?comment=5278#comment-5278The guide is here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/134668/how-to-trigger-a-color-inversion-effect-for-one-windowMon, 29 Dec 2014 09:14:59 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/5249/how-to-invert-colors-in-only-one-window/?comment=5278#comment-5278https://faq.i3wm.org/question/5249/how-to-invert-colors-in-only-one-window/?comment=5277#comment-5277Thanks for your answer. I have found a guide on *compton* by which I created a working script and assigned a keybound it. That script works slightly different (but possibly useful) from what I intended: it inverts colors of the given *class* of windows, so all terminal windows get color-inverted.Mon, 29 Dec 2014 00:08:50 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/5249/how-to-invert-colors-in-only-one-window/?comment=5277#comment-5277
