feature request: rounded corners

[zoefiri]

This is a feature which I've seen growing in demand in recent times, and can now be had in a great variety of tiling WMs like awesome, i3, and bsp. I find it to be very attractive myself and was wondering if something like this is on the roadmap atm?

No it's not on the current roadmap currently.

I'm also interested in this feature. Here is a fork that implements rounded corners: https://github.com/calvinhenderson/herbstluftwm/tree/round-corners

Here is the specific commit, doing a comparison it seems as if this will result in a merge conflict: https://github.com/calvinhenderson/herbstluftwm/commit/b8a78e7e77126bbc25369459827b1ba51154b466

Here is an example screenshot: https://i.redd.it/eg997tik5re31.png

Exciting! How does your fork interact with the other border settings? E.g. what happens if the border color and the background color of the window is not the same?

Thx for responding so fast. It’s actually not my fork. To be frank I haven’t played around with it yet, so I wouldn’t be able to tell you. Here is the reddit post where I originally found out about it: https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/comments/cmloix/herbstluftwm_r_o_t_u_n_d_corners/

I plan on giving it a run, but sadly it wont be anytime soon.

I've tested it today a bit and this is what it does: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/s8epoxb0sszscda/AABYALuIpOr7eOT2Xsh75N19a?dl=0

It seems to work good only with 0 borders. The best examples of errors with borders are (I think) 2020-04-15-170106_1680x1050_scrot.png and 2020-04-15-165205_1680x1050_scrot.png

I wonder if this could be easily implemented through the CSS implementation? Or if it is already? Gosh it would make me happy. I just switched to HLWM this week and I LOVE IT

[t-wissmann]

yes, I started the CSS implementation also because I wanted to achieve rounded corners at some point :-) , but it's not implemented so far.

Yay!! 🥰
