[Feature Request] Colored border as split direction indicator

Opened this issue · 2 comments

Currently, hy3 makegroup h/v indents the window (changing its size) to indicate the direction of a split. In comparison, i3/sway recolors that border, leaving the windowsize as it was.
Personally I much prefer the i3/sway style and would love to see it as a configuration option for Hy3.

Unlikely I'll add it for a few reasons:

  • it looks pretty weird with gaps and rounded corners
  • it involves replacing the border rendering code in hyprland which is nontrivial.

I've considered rendering a line similar to the tab bars in the space created by the existing split direction marker though, which is much more likely to come at some point.

I see, fair points.
Your alternative sounds good to me, I'll definetly use it when you get around to implement it (no rush).
