## Current Behavior
<!--
Describe the current behavior,
e.g., »When pressing Alt+j (focus left), the window above the current window is focused.«
-->
When opening a new window in a new workspace, if there aren't any window, the right border of the application will change color.
Picture:

## Expected Behavior
<!--
Describe the desired behavior you expect after mitigation of the issue,
e.g., »The window left next to the current window should be focused.«
-->
The right border should have the same color of the other borders.

## Reproduction Instructions
<!--

- Open a New Window (Terminal, Browser... it doesn't matter)
- Look at the Right Border
You will notice a difference between the various corner and the right corner

-->

## Environment
<!--
Please include your exact i3 version.
Note that we only support the latest major release and the current development version. If you are using an older version of i3, please first update to the current release version and reproduce the issue there.

[BUG] Opening a new window in tiling mode will change the color of the right border.

That is the split indicator, and it's a vanilla i3 feature. Configure it to be the same color as your border if you don't want it.
