I set NORMBORDERCOLOR to the background color of my GTK2 theme so that the tiled windows visually appear "glued" together (there is no visible border). At the same time I want the floating windows that have a border.
It seems to me that what you really want is borderless tiled apps. The way you achieve (well, fake, actually) this now (background-colored borders) looks like a hack to me; it's also incomplete: what about non-gtk apps for example?. Stuff like this is fine for personal use, but I don't think it belongs in mainstream dwm. Greetings, Sander.
