Predefined border colors from the README.md do not work with Plasma 5.22 #173

There's nothing much more to say, I edited the ~/.config/kdeglobals according to the README.md, but I could not make the borders really look like those classic blue/white colors. Window borders now just look... dark grey.

I am using Breeze Dark, by the way.

dunno if it will work for you, but I had the same problem and I fixed it by deleting the blocks shown here https://github.com/esjeon/krohnkite/issues/148#issuecomment-786734048

I faced the same problem, and here's my workaround to make it work:

  1. Window Decoration > Theme and edit your theme
  2. Window Specific Overrides > Add
  3. Regular expression to match: .*
  4. Border size: Tiny
  5. Check hide window title bar

There are some apps that still do not have the borders though, like Firefox.

https://github.com/esjeon/krohnkite/issues/148#issuecomment-786734048 seems strictly necessary for the Breeze Dark theme and others based on it. Spotted no side effects of the change.

Further, you may need to temporarily switch and apply your Appearance/Global Theme/Colors to something else and then re-apply back in order to have the color change take effect.

Personally I just set the global window border size to Normal in the Window Decorations settings rather then applying a global override.

The readme sould mention you need to not have checked remove borders of tiled windows in Krohnkite settings if you want the border color to change. Might sound obvious, but if you checked it two months ago and forgot about it, it is tedious to figure out why the border color does not change.

Further more, it would be amazing if it actually were posible to set up focus border color even with this option. I like not having the titlebar and it also prevents me from de-tiling the windows. But I do miss the focus border. It is the only feature I miss in this great tileing manager.

Or If you could add the option to remove the top bar, but leave the window borders. That would be awesome.
