Description of the bug

I’ve been experimenting with Eww bars on different window managers. They display perfectly in XFCE4, OpenBox, and bspWM, but when I run them in i3wm, they appear stretched.

Someone reproduced the same issue on a PC running i3wm so it seems to be an i3wm related bug rather than environment specific.

Reproducing the issue

Eww bar should display at the correct size and proportions, not stretched, as it does in other window managers.

Expected behaviour

  1. Run i3wm

  2. Launch eww bar

  3. The config that I use

  4. The bar appears distorted or incorrectly sealed

Additional context

Those config that I use

Platform and environment

  • i3wm from Termux package on Android

  • Also reproducible on Debian 13 GNU/Linux (64-bit x86 desktop PC).
