is it possible to use border-bottom or border-top in --border=color,width? #132

Closed hfont closed 5 years ago

Hello, thank you for developing x11docker

I tested --border=red, 1 and works on xpra however bothering it to be applied has all the corners.

It would be possible to use an border-top or border-bottom (this one would look good on --xorg)

thanks

Sorry, that is not possible yet. x11docker uses xpra option --border. From man xpra:

--border=BORDER Specifies the color and size of the border to draw inside every xpra window. This can be used to easily distinguish xpra windows running on remote hosts from local windows. The BORDER can be specified using standard color names (ie: red, or orange) or using the web hexadecimal syntax (ie: #F00 or #FF8C00). The special color name "auto" will derive the color from the server target address (the connection string) so that connecting to the same target should always give the same color. You may also specify the size of the border in pixels, ie: --border=yellow,10.

There is no specification for one side only. However, you could ask the developer at www.xpra.org if he likes to extend the option to specify one border only.

this one would look good on --xorg

For other X servers there is no --border implementation in x11docker. I am not aware of a tool that x11docker could use for this job.

However, along with --xorg you can specify a window manager from host different from the one you are used to or one would expect. E.g. with --wm=fluxbox you'll always know where you are.

A decorative solution: some old-style window managers support x11docker option --xfishtank.
