Hi everyone,

I am very happy with i3 so far, and I am deeply grateful to the
developers for such a useful, clean, and well-documented piece of
software. I have however an obsession with maximizing  screen real
state, and I wonder if it is possible in i3 to do a couple of things.

First of all, I wonder if I can suppress the generic borders around
windows and have instead separators of fixed width between them (with
separators appearing only when it is necessary to delimit windows),
more or less like tmux does to separate panes (or like ion3/notion to
separate frames, for that matter). In such a situation, the separators
would not change color according to the state of the windows (only the
color of the window titles would indicate the state). My goal is to
show borders only when they are needed, and when that's the case, use
a 1px line.

Second, can I set the border between containers in a different color
than the background color? If I am not mistaken, the background color
sets both the background of the window title as well as the color
around the window, and I'd like to set them separately.

In case I didn't explain myself well, here is an image summarizing
what I'd like to achieve: http://postimg.org/image/csjo2oqjh/

Thanks a lot for your attention,

Dani
