Description of the bug

Using i3, trying to get a vertical bar on the left side of the screen. Setting the wm-ignore variable to true works as expected, switching to false and reserving the space causes the bar to taka up all the screen.

Reproducing the issue

1. eww daemon
2. eww open bar

Minimal config:

(defwindow bar
    :monitor "DP-0"
    :geometry (geometry :x "0px"
                        :y "0px"
                        :width "30px"
                        :height "100%"
                        :anchor "top left"
    )
    :stacking "bg"
    :focusable "true"
    :reserve (struts :distance "40px" :side "left")
    :windowtype "dock"
    :wm-ignore false
"e"
)

Expected behaviour

The correct amount of space is reserved for the bar, and the bar itself is displaying as defined by the geometry in the config file.

Same issue on i3-gaps I didn't have this problem, until I switched from bspwm to i3

Same issue, also on i3-gaps.

I don't use a vertical bar normally, but I can confirm the example config indeed does give me a fullscreen bar.

i3 here too.

I had this problem too, try setting :wm-ignore true

I had this problem too, try setting :wm-ignore true

I'm experiencing the same. This does make it display correctly, but is not a solution for me, as parts of windows handled by i3 end up behind the bar.

I also have xfce4-panel installed. Interestingly, it behaves similarly (fullscreen) when configured vertically.

This is not an issue with eww, but i3, see here.

This is definitely i3's problem. It can't handle vertical bars at all. You can try my i3-vertical fork if you want i3 with vertical bar support.

This should be closed as unsolved.
