Rxvt Has the Most Hideous Border #4

Closed bookercodes closed 8 years ago

bookercodes commented 8 years ago

For some reason, rxvt has the most hideous border:

I made the border green to highlight the problem:

Urxvt.bordercolor: #00ff00

I have already tried the following settings:

URxvt.internalBorder: 0
URxvt.externalBorder: 0
URxvt.borderless: true

I also tried running urxvt -bl to make sure it wasn't an erorr in my configuration.

@airblader,

I am finding you .files to be very useful as I transition to Arch.

Might you have encountered this problem before?

Airblader commented 8 years ago

@alexbooker Does it have the same problem when you float it? If not, I would assume it's becaue urxvt defines a width / height increment (which is very typical of terminal emulators – they display only text, afterall).

I would suggest not defining your borders through the xrdb settings, but instead through i3. That way you use i3's borders, not the X11 borders.

Sorry, I misread your post. Maybe this is what you're looking for:

It might also be worth setting i3's client.background #000000 and seeing what happens?

Many thanks for your prompt response, @Airblader!

I managed to amalgamate all your information to form a solution:

Here is I ended up doing:

  1. I set both URxvt*borderColor and URxvt*borderColor to 0. This removed all all borders except the bottom one.
  2. I then set *`URxvtborderColor` to the same colour as the shell** background.
