I tried to change it with

client.focused          #4c7899 #285577 #ffffff #2e9ef4
client.focused_inactive #333333 #5f676a #ffffff #484e50
client.unfocused        #333333 #222222 #888888 #292d2e
client.urgent           #2f343a #900000 #ffffff #900000

etc. But it shows me an error if i restart my config with that code. Why?

thanks.

you are using an old version of i3, consider upgrading to the latest version.

Take a look at http://i3wm.org/downloads/ to see if there is a package for your distribution. Or compile it from source.

@schischi: And my config etc. will be the same, or will it be deleted by installing new i3

There is no newer Version available. I3wm.org says the latest version would be 4.5.1 but when i download the package for my distribution, it says that its version 4.1.2 ..the same thats already installed on my machine.

What is the error message ?

Btw you can use a variable to store a color if you want:

set $white #ffffff
...
client.focused $darkgray $blue $white $white
