I had the same issue. I suggest changing the client.focused
indicator to $base0D
and child border to $base0C
. It makes more sense to me at least. In a dark theme, I also changed the separator color, of the bar, to $base03
from $base01
. It is barely noticeable with $base01
.
In the end, it looks like this:
# Basic bar configuration using the Base16 variables.
bar {
status_command i3status
colors {
background $base00
separator $base03
statusline $base04
# State Border BG Text
focused_workspace $base05 $base0D $base00
active_workspace $base05 $base03 $base00
inactive_workspace $base03 $base01 $base05
urgent_workspace $base08 $base08 $base00
binding_mode $base00 $base0A $base00
}
}
# Basic color configuration using the Base16 variables for windows and borders.
# Property Name Border BG Text Indicator Child Border
client.focused $base05 $base0D $base00 $base0D $base0C
client.focused_inactive $base01 $base01 $base05 $base03 $base01
client.unfocused $base01 $base00 $base05 $base01 $base01
client.urgent $base08 $base08 $base00 $base08 $base08
client.placeholder $base00 $base00 $base05 $base00 $base00
client.background $base07
I'll test out these changes with some of the other themes; do you want to make PR?
A got the same problem years later. The Meyer fix seems ok to me.
I dunno for you, but I'm still not totally pleased. I think the difference between regular focus border and focused child border too light. It is hard for me to see it...
Does anyone got the same feeling ?
I've been using the version I posted here. It's been almost 1.5 years and, for me, it works nicely.
I'm confused which colors you're finding too close - client.focused and client.unfocused seem easily differentiated to me; what's a good example of a layout that'd show the client.focused border and child border being too close? Maybe it's just the way I use i3, but I don't even know offhand a situation where I'd run into those being too close.
Here is what I got with base16-twilight and I got the same feeling with base16-default-dark and base16-dracula on other computers.
In this example, the child border target is the bottom one. The left and top border are a little bit truncated by my screenshot tool...
There is no way to tell which is the active border. It looks like the same color.
