x11-border-color.nvim

Neovim plugin to change the border color of your terminal to indicate what mode neovim is in.

Inspired by chwb from wmutils. This uses LuaJIT FFI to call some C functions from XCB directly to change the window's border color. This is made to work with bspwm, but can probably work with other X11 WMs.

Requires: ^{_{(You probably already have these installed)}}

• libxcb
• xcb-utils

Install

use 'Kody-Quintana/x11-border-color.nvim'

Configuration:

require("x11-border-color").setup({
  normal_color = "#2cba1f",
  insert_color = "#e21855",
  --restore_color = "#FFFFFF",  -- If using bspwm, the default restore_color is the output of 'bspc config focused_border_color'
})
