xborders

Active window border replacement for window managers.

Usage

git clone https://github.com/deter0/xborder
cd xborder
chmod +x xborders
pip install -r requirements.txt
./xborders --help

Dependencies

Make sure to install dependencies first! pip install -r requirements.txt

  • pycairo (Tested with version 1.21.0)
  • requests (Tested with version 2.28.1)
  • libwnck (Tested with version 40.1-1 sudo pacman -S libwnck3)
  • gtk
  • a compositor (picom is what I am using or you can use another compositor) although even compton with work, just something that supports transparent windows.

Note for compositor

If you don't want your entire screen blurred please add role = 'xborder' to your blur-exclude!

blur-background-exclude = [
  # prevents picom from blurring the background
  "role   = 'xborder'",
  ...
];

Config

Configuration options can be found by passing in the argument --help on the command line, or by specifying a config file with the argument -c. The config file is just a simple json file with the keys being the same as the command-line arguments (except without the "--" at the beginning).

Updating

cd into the xborders directory and run git pull origin main
