Options aren't working

First of all, thanks for JankyBorders! This is exactly what I was looking for!

My issue is that seemingly no matter what I put into the bordersrc file it has no affect on borders.

  1. I've installed JankyBorders (1.6) via Brew and I run it with brew services start borders.
  2. I've created a bordersrc file under ~/.config/borders/ and updated the hidpi and width values.
  3. Restarted borders with brew services restart borders (tried stop and start as well) and I can see no change in borders width or hairiness whatsoever.
  4. I expected the width and sharpness to be updated after the restart of the service.

Hey, exact same versions as you and working for me.

Some things you could check are the log files(mine are empty but maybe you have something):

/opt/homebrew/var/log/borders/borders.err.log
/opt/homebrew/var/log/borders/borders.out.log

Can you share your config file?

Can you verify your config file permissions, here are mine:

$ ll .config/borders/bordersrc
.rwxr--r-- 173 ldenny 10 Sep 14:22  .config/borders/bordersrc

Hopefully something there helps, one last thing is maybe you ran borders manually outside brew in another terminal and that instance is what your seeing.

Hey @lewisdenny,

Thanks for the reply!

It was the file permissions. Changed to 754 and borders is working as expected. My issue is solved now.
