Can't set notification borders with `theme.notification_border_width` and `theme.notification_border_color`

[lyh970817]

Output of awesome --version:

awesome v4.3-1588-gb54e50ad6 (Too long) • Compiled against Lua 5.4.4 (running with 0.9.2) • API level: 4 • D-Bus support: yes • xcb-errors support: no • execinfo support: yes • xcb-randr version: 1.6 • LGI version: /usr/share/lua/5.4/lgi/version.lua • Transparency enabled: yes • Custom search paths: no

How to reproduce the issue:

Copy the default theme.lua in /usr/share/awesome/defaults to ~/.config/awesome, and add the following lines after -- Variables set for theming notifications::

theme.notification_border_width = 6
theme.notification_border_color = "#000000"

Modify the beautiful.init(...) line in rc.lua to beautiful.init("~/.config/awesome/theme.lua").

Run notify-send "test" in terminal.

Actual result:

No border appears for the notification window.

Expected result:

The notification window would have a black border.

I configured these properties for notifications which works by spec:

https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/blob/master/lib/naughty/notification.lua#L668

Example in theme.lua.

  --------------------------
  -- NAUGHTY CONFIGURATION
  --------------------------
  naughty.config.defaults.ontop = true
  naughty.config.defaults.icon_size = dpi(32)
  naughty.config.defaults.timeout = 10
  naughty.config.defaults.hover_timeout = 300
  naughty.config.defaults.title = 'System Notification Title'
  naughty.config.defaults.margin = dpi(16)
  naughty.config.defaults.border_width = 0
  naughty.config.defaults.position = 'top_middle'
  naughty.config.defaults.shape = function(cr, w, h)
    gears.shape.rounded_rect(cr, w, h, dpi(6))
  end

Thank you so much for responding! This appears to make margin work which originally also wouldn't work (but I didn't mention it), but border_width doesn't seem to work still - evident in no border seen after setting in theme.lua:

naughty.config.defaults.border_width = 5
naughty.config.defaults.border_color = "#000000"

I tested this settings now

  --------------------------
  -- NAUGHTY CONFIGURATION
  --------------------------
  naughty.config.defaults.ontop = true
  naughty.config.defaults.icon_size = dpi(32)
  naughty.config.defaults.timeout = 10
  naughty.config.defaults.hover_timeout = 300
  naughty.config.defaults.title = 'System Notification Title'
  naughty.config.defaults.margin = dpi(16)
  naughty.config.defaults.border_width = 20
  naughty.config.defaults.border_color = "#111eee"
  naughty.config.defaults.position = 'top_middle'
  naughty.config.defaults.shape = function(cr, w, h)
    gears.shape.rounded_rect(cr, w, h, dpi(6))
  end

and this is a result.

This is what it looks like for me. It appears to have an effect of increasing the gap between the notification window and the border of my screen.

@lyh970817 please provide link to your full awesome dotfiles. It has to be something else in different place.
