Yes. Borderless tiled windows but floating ones with a distinctive border. > The way you achieve (well, fake, actually) this now (background-colored > borders) looks like a hack to me; I agree it is a kind of hack. Another possibility was to have borderwidth = 0 for tiled windows, and borderwidth != 0 for the floating ones. But if it is done this way, the tiled windows will not get the red frame that marks the window that has focus. And I like this red frame ;) > it's also incomplete: what about > non-gtk apps for example? Well, most of the themes I use have consistent colors.

It would be nice if one proposes a more natural way how to achive the same effect. -- Stanislav
