This not a config per se but Window Managers that can set the window borders properly can have transparent window borders via compton ( dwm, swm, xmonad and few more can do this and i3 is not one of them ).
For transparent window borders, start compton with
compton -e 0.1 ( 0.1 for the highest level of transparency and 1.0 being fully opaque ).
Now for the Useless gaps in
dwm set the size of window borders to your preferences and voila!
Example:
Code: Select all
static const unsigned int borderpx = 10;
Shitty.webm or it didn't happen.
If you can do it go ahead and do it, if you can't do it then don't even criticize it. - gingerdesu

Fantastic; I have been wondering how to integrate compton better on swm. Thanks stark!

@Dr You're Welcome :)
@wux I'm not used to useless gaps either but it feels nice though.
