I've recently update my machine to find that chrome's window border (orange on all my other windows) is now transparent. I noticed that Google have added their new Aura graphics stack instead of GTK+ https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!topic/chromium-dev/Zpu9801p..., and I'm wondering if this is not playing nicely with xmonad. Downgrading to Chrome stable solves the problem. But I'm guessing that once the stable version gets updated, I'll get the same issue again.
Is anyone else seeing this? Is there anything I can do to confirm that this is the problem or fix it somehow?
One drawback of using server side borders is that the transparency behavior is defined by the application, since the border is technically part of the application window and not a frame window. It may be possible to specify the border color as RGBA (e.g. focusedBorderColor = "#ffa500ff") instead of RGB... but this may then break (i.e. cause BadMatch X11 errors) windows which are *not* RGBA. (The #xxx format for colors may not work for RGBA; it may need to be "rgba:1/0.65/0/1".) -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
