How to make the selected-window-border invisible when the selected window is just the wallpaper?

[Fajar2k5]

Hi. Is it possible to make the selected-window-border invisible when the workspace is empty or in other similar situations (idk how to describe it)? I don't want to just boot up my device (or after closing all of the windows) and see my wallpaper with blue overlay on it. I just want to see my wallpaper in its true color. But I also don't want to completely make the border invisible because i need it to tell which window is active.

Sometimes it's also caused by suspending Ubuntu (or loggin in back from the lock screen) where the "Wallpaper only" part is moved to the middle like this

Agreed. the wallpaper is being treated as a window. A huge block of nothing between all the other open windows. Its a bug.

Turns out it's because of Wayland. When I choose X11 it's no longer an issue. But the lack of a multi touch gesture on X11 makes me go insane, so I'll keep using Wayland with this bug. This sucks (idk what sucks, Ubuntu, or Gnome, or Wayland)

Wow, thanks. I logged out, selected Xorg, logged in, and bam! fixed. Im using a mouse, no touch so it seems ok!

Good for you :)
I'll probably use Xorg too when at home and Wayland when I'm outside

Are you using ubuntu? If so, it's likely the DING extension.

See this one: #1026

You can remove / disable the DING extension - or you can add it to winprops to open on scratch layer to avoid this issue.
