i3bgwin

i3 does not implement specific support for windows with the _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DESKTOP hint, and as such do not render those windows in the background behind all other windows.

This makes it difficult to do things like displaying information in the background.

i3bgwin provides a way to run any application in the background behind all other windows, provided that they support embedding into another window, e.g. urxvt -embed <window> or xterm -into <window>.
