4 years ago Same for me! It's really annoying, as I can't get clear feedback which window is focused in my setup. For me though it does not only happen for graphical applications. But perhaps only consistently for graphical applications and randomly for terminals. I'm on Arch Linux, using compton and relevant config:
for_window [class=".*"] border pixel 8
smart_gaps on
gaps inner 3
gaps outer 2
hide_edge_borders both
# ...
# class border backgr. text indicator child_border
client.focused_inactive #333333 #5f676a #ffffff #B2C6E6 #CEE6B200

Current Behavior
Borders around applications including Firefox, Nautilus, Spotify, Chrome (pretty much everything except URxvt) appear as black when set to transparent.
Expected Behavior
Borders should be transparent on all applications.
I am using compton, and transparency is working for my polybar, the background of my URxvt terminals and their borders.
