Comment #5 on issue 277 by wirtwolff: Red border on two windows http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=277 Can confirm intrepid (ubuntu 8.10) does install xmonad-0.8 rather than 0.8.1, however those differences only apply to x86_64 ghc-6.10 users, and intrepid's on 6.8.2. Still can't reproduce this here. Dist upgraded ubuntu box to intrepid. Tried with clean install of xmonad package only: Could not reproduce using either the XMonad gdm session or .xsession method of replacing metacity. Ensured default installed binary was used. I.e. had no ~/.xmonad, much less xmonad.hs (also no xmonad.conf xmonad-light config.) Then installed libghc6-xmonad and libghc6-xmonad-contrib and tried with no xmonad.hs, with default xmonad.hs, and with a basic Config.Gnome xmonad.hs similar to the attached xmonad.hs, but borders behaved normally with these, too. Yes, don't see how the xmonad.hs has anything to do with this, would have to set both focused and unfocusedBorderColor red to get this effect by normal means. All the explanations I can think of are pretty bizarre. Explicitly setting the border colors should work regardless. If even that doesn't work and the xmonad.hs is truly getting recompiled, (check with 'xmonad --recompile' in terminal if any doubt), then I guess maybe time to look at bizarre ideas. , focusedBorderColor = "green3" , normalBorderColor = "gray10" -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
