I cannot figure out why i3bar is not accepting the settings I am entering for the colors. My bar section in ~/.i3/config reads (I was using red for testing): bar { output default status_command i3status workspace_buttons yes tray_output none colors { background #ff0000 statusline #ffffff } } But the i3 bar background is black. When I enter green (#00FF00) for the background color, the i3bar background is yellow. In general, any i3bar color I specify (except black and white) are not showing up as expected and I don't know why. Colors for my terminal application (urxvt) are displaying fine and as expected (as read from ~/.Xresources).
