Why is there padding between the text area and the window border?
------------------------------------------------------------------
Terminal screens are a grid of fixed size cells. When the window size is
not an exact multiple of the cell size, there is some leftover space that
appears as padding. Additionally you can add your own padding with
:opt:`window_padding_width`. This padding can be particularly noticeable when
using TUI programs that have a background color different from the terminal
background color. In such cases either change their background color to match
the terminal or more correctly, open a bug report against such programs and ask
them to :doc:`change the terminal default background color <color-stack>`
using OSC escape codes when starting and restore it when quitting to have it work automatically.
