i3bar border cannot get rid of

Hello!

On the i3bar area (I'm using i3status with it), there is this little black line underneath it. It sits in between the titlebars and the bar itself. I was wondering, is there anyway to get rid of this thing? It's been driving me crazy.

To get "no border" when making block with background I use i3blocks

in file ~/.config/i3blocks/config above any [BLOCK] put:

separator_block_width=-16
markup=pango

example:

separator_block_width=-16
markup=pango
[SOME_BLOCK]
full_text=<span bgcolor='#ff0000' >LOL</span>

some blocks are too short then - so I put spaces at the end of full_text (after </span>!)

value -16 probably You need to corelate with i3bar font size (bar section in ~/.config/i3/config )

You can also use normal i3status and then put two needed lines in every block so it could be "borderless"
