+normal+. Note that default_floating_border applies only to windows which are starting out as
floating windows, e.g., dialog windows, but not windows that are floated later on.
+Setting border style to +pixel+ eliminates title bars. The border style +normal+ allows you to
+adjust edge border width while keeping your title bar.

order on the bar according to its number without displaying the number prefix.
When +strip_workspace_numbers+ is set to +yes+, any workspace that has a name of
-the form "[n]:[NAME]" will display only the name. You could use this, for
+the form "[n][:][NAME]" will display only the name. You could use this, for
instance, to display Roman numerals rather than digits by naming your
workspaces to "1:I", "2:II", "3:III", "4:IV", ...
When +strip_workspace_name+ is set to +yes+, any workspace that has a name of
-the form "[n]:[NAME]" will display only the number.
+the form "[n][:][NAME]" will display only the number.
-The default is to display the full name within the workspace button.
+The default is to display the full name within the workspace button. Be aware

Note that swapping does not work with all containers. Most notably, swapping

combination with +--add+ (see below) as any other marks will otherwise be
removed.
-By default, a window can only have one mark. You can use the +--add+ flag to
-put more than one mark on a window.
+The +--replace+ flag causes i3 to remove any existing marks, which is also the
+default behavior. You can use the +--add+ flag to put more than one mark on a
+window.
Refer to <<show_marks>> if you don't want marks to be shown in the window decoration.
unmark <identifier>
----------------------------------------------
+You can use +i3-input+ to prompt for a mark name, then use the +mark+
+and +focus+ commands to create and jump to custom marks:
+
+*Examples*:
+---------------------------------------
+# read 1 character and mark the current window with this character
+bindsym $mod+m exec i3-input -F 'mark %s' -l 1 -P 'Mark: '
+
+# read 1 character and go to the window with the character
+bindsym $mod+g exec i3-input -F '[con_mark="%s"] focus' -l 1 -P 'Goto: '
+---------------------------------------
+
+Alternatively, if you do not want to mess with +i3-input+, you could create
+separate bindings for a specific set of labels and then only use those labels:
+
*Example (in a terminal)*:
---------------------------------------------------------
# marks the focused container
[class="(?i)firefox"] unmark
---------------------------------------------------------

[[pango_markup]]
=== Window title format
Because i3 is not a compositing window manager, there is no ability to
display a window on two screens at the same time. Instead, your presentation
software needs to do this job (that is, open a window on each screen).

+=== High-resolution displays (aka HIDPI displays)
+
+See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HiDPI for details on how to enable
+scaling in various parts of the Linux desktop. i3 will read the desired DPI from
+the `Xft.dpi` property. The property defaults to 96 DPI, so to achieve 200%
+scaling, you’d set `Xft.dpi: 192` in `~/.Xresources`.
+
+If you are a long-time i3 user who just got a new monitor, double-check that:
+
+* You are using a scalable font (starting with “pango:”) in your i3 config.
+
+* You are using a terminal emulator which supports scaling. You could
+ temporarily switch to gnome-terminal, which is known to support scaling out of
+ the box, until you figure out how to adjust the font size in your favorite
+ terminal emulator.
