Summary

Setting the border_colours inside the .json file does nothing.

  1. Change the colour
  2. Save the file
  3. komorebic stop
  4. komorebic start --whkd (also --config "path" does not work)
    doesn't do anything.

If I change the color using a cmd command (komorebic border-colour 255 244 189) it works until I restart the app. Then it goes back to default.

Idk if it has anything to do with it, but changing border_implementation to "Windows" also does nothing.

Output of komorebic check

No KOMOREBI_CONFIG_HOME detected, defaulting to C:\Users\zbign

Looking for configuration files in C:\Users\zbign

Found komorebi.json; this file can be passed to the start command with the --config flag

Found C:\Users\zbign.config\whkdrc; key bindings will be loaded from here when whkd is started, and you can start it automatically using the --whkd flag

Themes take priority over user-set borders colors - if you want to specify your own border colors, make sure to remove the theme configuration
