Description crocket 2019-08-26 11:31:00 UTC 
Initially, game is rendered at the center of an i3 window.

After changing i3 layout, game is rendered in corners.

Refer to https://github.com/chocolate-doom/chocolate-doom/issues/1191 for screenshots.

Putting "export SDL_VIDEO_CENTERED=1" in ~/.profile and logging in again works around the issue.


SDL_VIDEO_CENTERED centers a floating i3 window on the screen and centers the game in a tiled i3 window.

Correction // SDL_VIDEO_CENTERED doesn't center a game in a window.
It only centers a window on a screen.
