I found this link to remove the big black border around the window of deepin-terminal in KDE. How can I achieve it in awesome wm? Look at the screenshot...

i'm author of Deepin-Terminal

Git version of deepin-terminal has fixed this problem. Git version will remove shadow when it found window manager's composited is disable.

Compile git version please check: https://github.com/manateelazycat/deepin-terminal/

  • Small comment: Just because some big window manager's have a built-in compositing manager does not mean that it has to be this way. – Uli Schlachter Jun 04 '17 at 15:26

Blame GTK, but now that I am sure you complained loudly to them ;), here's the workaround

You have to edit the GTK3 CSS to remove these borders, more information here:

  • Deepin-terminal uses gtk2 if I'm right. Modifying ~/.gtkrc does not show any effect. In terms of gtk2, which workarounds do I have to do? – bambino307 Feb 22 '17 at 12:31
  • If it's GTK2, then they put great effort into making it look like GTK3, even to the point of reproducing the bugs. You can always fire a compositor like `compton` or use a different theme. – Emmanuel Lepage Vallee Feb 22 '17 at 18:24
  • Creating ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css and firing compton only make the border transparent but it's still present. In addition, albert [link](https://github.com/albertlauncher/albert) which uses Qt also shows an annoying border – bambino307 Feb 23 '17 at 07:39
  • In both case, they are client side border. Awesome isn't told or aware of them. They have to be fixed in the application. – Emmanuel Lepage Vallee Feb 24 '17 at 19:38
