Question: is the normal i3 (not i3-gaps) supported?

Versions

%i3 --version
i3 version 4.20.1 (2021-11-03) © 2009 Michael Stapelberg and contributors

I've downloaded the prebuilt glimmer 0.0.2 from the release page.

Problem

I'm using the normal i3, not i3-gaps. When I try to use glimmer, I get the following error.

%./glimmer --styles ~/git_repository/glimmer/themes/example.css 
thread '<unnamed>' panicked at 'called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: Custom { kind: InvalidData, error: Error("unknown variant `machine`, expected one of `title`, `instance`, `class`, `window_role`, `transient_for`", line: 1, column: 727) }', src/actors/i3_ipc.rs:74:51
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace
^C

Is this error due to not using i3-gaps? If it is, can I submit a PR to replace all the occurrences of the word i3 with i3-gaps to remove the confusion?

Reproduction

1. Download the binary
2. Run glimmer
3. Change the window focus by moving the mouse cursor.

(BTW, i3-gaps is merged into i3 (PR). I think all the occurrences of i3-gaps should be replaced with "i3 with the gaps feature" or something.)

Hey again, sorry you've run into so many issues @toku-sa-n

i3 or i3-gaps should work, it might be the newer version of i3 that may be causing issues. Could you try compiling this branch #11 and let me know if works.

Thanks!

It works! Thanks for the quick fix!
