Option to have normal borders

[bonnee]

Hi, would it be possible to add an option to enable normal window borders?

Hi Bonnee,
What is meant by "normal window borders"? Could you attach a screenshot of expected result?

[bonnee]

This is my expected result (all my other programs open like this):

But by default swayimg opens like this:

I was wondering if there's a way to set the default border behaviour without going through the sway config. My use case is that I want to use swayimg in a redistributable script that can be used with minimal external configuration, and having no borders results confusing

Window decoration, I will think about it =)
As a workaround you can add a rule for the swayimg window, but you have to use static appid:

swaymsg for_window "[app_id=swayimgapp]" border pixel 10
swayimg --class swayimgapp photo.jpg

@artemsen Have you considered libdecor? It could be an optional dependency just like some image formats.

I'm still waiting for the xdg-decoration protocol to become stable.
Or maybe I’m just lazy, the original idea of the program was to embed itself into a terminal window, so I don’t use the decoration myself =)
Anyway, thank you for pointing, I haven't seen libdecor before.
