hi..
finally getting more playtime with i3. it behaves marvellously fast on a
RaspberryPi with Arch Linux underneath. i try to build a very minimal
system there, so i3 runs directly from .xinitrc and my .Xresources just
contains two settings for xterm (locale and a font).
what i currently dont understand is that i3 doesnt use the RGB-values in
the bar{colors{}} section but seems to pick colors from a 8 or 16 color
palette.
e.g. using:
background #333333
draws the statusbar in a medium blue.
background #444444
draws the statusbar in a green.
other applications have no problems displaying full RGB content, so it
is not the driver/display.
any hints where to dig deeper are highly appreciated as i couldnt yet
find an answer in the userguide or the arch wiki.
cheers,
grubernd
