Hi. I’m on a rather fresh install of eOS i3wm, and I noticed gvim came pre-installed with some plugins and syling. So, I uninstalled it with pacman, then reinstalled it and unpacked my vimrc setup on it. As you can see, there’s now some border inherited from the OS defaults. Can you help me remove it? Thanks!
Hi @anis ,
Just to exclude sg, what is the output of
grep client.focused ~/.config/i3/config
?
grep client.focused ~/.config/i3/config
client.focused $lightblue $darkblue $white $mediumgrey $lightblue
client.focused_inactive $darkblue $darkblue $grey $black $black
Thanks. What exactly is ‘sg’?
sg = something, sorry. The rightmost element (5th) is the border color which is not $urgentred in client.focused line of config.
There is an /etc/i3/config as well, but it should not be active. I do not understand R3 install iso i3wm does not contain gvim. Still investigating.
I was using gvim because it was needed for one of the plugins I was using… Tried launching gvim and it started up a window without the deep blue borders but with a giant font. Uninstalled it, vim still behaves like this.
(I rebooted and everything, no change)
As far as I see you want to configure Gvim and i3wm simultaneously.
First open several terminal by Super+Return. Borders should change as it is in ~/.config/i3/config
after pressing Super+Shift+R.
In phase 2 ~/.wimrc should be checked and built up from a simple default one

I would use meld to compare your imported config to a default one. Make copies of the phases that are OK. Progress step by step. Sorry to write such clichés.
