windowchef does not respect wmutil's chwb #51

JLErvin commented 6 years ago

windowchef is advertised as

100% compatible with window management utilities (e.g. wmutils). Windowchef will update its internal state if programs attempt to manage windows. It also applies the correct window decorations when a program focuses a window. This makes it possible to use it as a "backend" with wm utilities

Howver, running chwb does not change windowchef's border settings.

For example, runnig

chwb -s 0 $(pfw)

Will move the window as if the border has been changed (this is documented in chwb), but the window border remains unchanged using both single and double borders.

Running wattr b $(pfw) shows that border size is unaffected.

I'm getting the same thing here running the latest git of windowchef. After setting border width to 0 using waitron wm_config border_width 0 and disabling borders using waitron enable_borders false - which according to the man page is supposed to enable the use of an external utility to set borders - the following commands have no effect:

chwb -s FFFFFF -c 1 0x1600006

-and-

chwb -s FFFFFF -c 1 $(pfw)

These commands also print no error message. So this bug appears to be confirmed.

Fixed. To modify borders with external tools you must disable borders first:

waitron wm_config enable_borders false
