It seems that Pantheon applications mess with i3 by adding a huge gap between windows/frames like in the screenshot below.

enter image description here

Is there a way to use Pantheon applications in i3 without that border/margin? I guess it's the shadows of Pantheon applications that cause this, so is there a way to disable them?

(I'm running Elementary OS 0.4 x86_64 with i3 v4.11. My previous desktop manager was lightdm v1.18.3, which is still installed.)

Here's what did it for me:

  • cd into ~/.config/gtk-3.0 (create it if it isn't there)

  • touch gtk.css or append to gtk.css if it already exists

  • In your favorite text editor add the following:

    .window-frame {box-shadow: none; margin: 0;}

Save it, logout, log into i3wm and you should be good to go.
