# Borders
|
|
|
|
komorebi puts a colored border around every window. It does not draw it: a KWin effect, KDE
|
|
Rounded Corners, draws the border outside each window, in the gap between the tiles, and komorebi
|
|
tells the effect how wide it is, how round the corners are and which color each window's border
|
|
has. The border around the window that has the focus is blue, and the border around every other
|
|
window is gray.
|
|
|
|
## Installing the effect
|
|
|
|
The effect is not part of KWin, and KWin finds effects when it starts: log out and in again after
|
|
installing it. On NixOS the flake's module installs it with komorebi, which is what
|
|
`services.komorebi.effects.borders.enable` does (it is on by default); the effect is built so that
|
|
KWin does not load it until komorebi asks.
|
|
[`installation.md`](../installation.md) has the module's options.
|
|
|
|
komorebi loads the effect when it starts and borders are on, and unloads it when it exits or the
|
|
borders are turned off. A machine that does not have the effect has no borders: komorebi says so
|
|
once in its log, and leaves no room for them.
|
|
|
|
## Turning borders on and off
|
|
|
|
[`komorebic border`](../cli/border.md) turns borders on or off. They are on by default.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
komorebic border disable
|
|
komorebic border enable
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Colors
|
|
|
|
A window's border has the color of what the window is to the layout:
|
|
|
|
| Kind | Window | Default |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| `single` | the focused window | blue, `66 165 245` |
|
|
| `unfocused` | every other window | gray, `128 128 128` |
|
|
| `unfocused-locked` | a locked container that does not have the focus | red, `158 8 8` |
|
|
| `stack` | a stack that has the focus | green, `0 165 66` |
|
|
| `monocle` | a monocled window | pink, `255 51 153` |
|
|
| `floating` | a floating window that has the focus | yellow, `245 245 165` |
|
|
|
|
[`komorebic border-colour`](../cli/border-colour.md) sets the color of a kind, from its red,
|
|
green and blue, each from 0 to 255; without `--window-kind` it sets `single`.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
komorebic border-colour 255 128 0
|
|
komorebic border-colour --window-kind unfocused 64 64 64
|
|
komorebic border-colour --window-kind floating 200 200 0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The stock KDE Rounded Corners has one color for the active window and one for the others. The
|
|
build the flake installs also takes a color for each window, which is what lets a locked, a
|
|
floating, a stack and a monocled window have colors of their own. With the stock effect every
|
|
kind is drawn as `single` or `unfocused`, whichever is closer, and komorebi says so once in its
|
|
log.
|
|
|
|
## Width and room
|
|
|
|
[`komorebic border-width`](../cli/border-width.md) sets how thick the border is, in pixels: 10 by
|
|
default. The effect draws at most 20 pixels, and draws the border only where a window has a shadow,
|
|
so a window with no shadow has no border.
|
|
|
|
While the borders are drawn, the layout leaves room for them: every tile gives up the width of the
|
|
border on each side, so that the border is drawn in the gap between two windows and does not fall
|
|
on the window next to it. [`komorebic border-offset`](../cli/border-offset.md) leaves more room
|
|
than the width, in pixels, which the effect draws nothing in. With borders off, or without the
|
|
effect, the layout leaves no room at all. A change of the width or the offset reaches the layout
|
|
the next time the workspace is tiled again, which [`komorebic retile`](../cli/retile.md) does.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
komorebic border-width 6
|
|
komorebic border-offset 2
|
|
komorebic retile
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## In komorebi.json
|
|
|
|
The same settings can be in [`komorebi.json`](configuration.md#borders): `border`, `border_width`
|
|
and `border_offset` are what the three commands above set, and `border_radius` is how round the
|
|
corners are, in pixels (10 by default), which has no command. The file sets them when the daemon
|
|
starts and when the file changes; a key it leaves out leaves the setting as it is.
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"border": true,
|
|
"border_width": 6,
|
|
"border_offset": 2,
|
|
"border_radius": 12
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`border_colours` sets the colors of the kinds of window above, each as red, green and blue or as
|
|
a hex color, and leaves out the kinds it does not name. A [theme](themes.md), which the
|
|
`theme` key of the file gives too, replaces them.
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"border_colours": {
|
|
"single": { "r": 255, "g": 128, "b": 0 },
|
|
"unfocused": "#404040"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## What is put back
|
|
|
|
The effect keeps its settings in the user's `kwinrc`, in the group `[Round-Corners]`. komorebi
|
|
writes them when it asks for the border, and when it exits or the borders are turned off it puts
|
|
back what the user had there, also after a crash: the next run puts them back when it stops.
