windowframer

windowframer is a python utility that takes care of drawing border images compatible with the sway-borders project.

Currently only one frame type is implemented, though additional types can be implemented easily.

frame type	produces	supports shadow	window status indicator
rounded	- square corners - round corners - rounded square corners	yes	line all around the border

Each frame type has its own settings, use --help after specifying the type to list all available options.

installation

windowframer depends on python3 and the pycairo library.
After installing the dependencies, clone the repo and make the "windowframer.py" script executable.
