I've been playing around with colors and themes and I've realized I can't seem to not have an indicator. It follows the color of the background, which seems to contradict section 4.15 of the docs:

The indicator color is used for indicating where a new window will be opened. For horizontal split containers, the right border will be painted in indicator color, for vertical split containers, the bottom border.

I'd prefer it not follow that color (the background). Does anyone know a way around this?

info: I also have borders disabled.

UPDATE:

#colors:                border  backgr. text    ind.
client.focused          #007030 #007030 #ffffff #222222
client.focused_inactive #888888 #222222 #ffffff #222222
client.unfocused        #888888 #222222 #ffffff #222222
client.urgent           #900000 #900000 #ffffff #222222

#no window borders

Um, I am confused: if you have borders disabled how do you even see the indicator? Could you please post your border settings, too?

updated OP. It confused me as well. 3 possibilities jump out at me: 1, there is an extra command needed to hide the indicator. 2, one can't hide the indicator. 3, there is a defect wherein the indicator color setting doesn't work, and it gets shown when borders are disabled.

You should report this as a bug at http://bugs.i3wm.org/

i think you may misunderstand. setting the indicator color does absolutely nothing, it always follows the background. for me, its always following the window background color. changing the other colors does what the docs describe. the changes you described have no apparent change.

So if you have a red window, you get a red indicator and with a blue window a blue indicator?

yes, that is correct. It doesn't make sense to me...
