With fvwm you can more or less configure every border style you want. Have you tried the themes package?

To tune it the way one wants to have it one can either write a config file or resort to the themes project. > - diff. border colors for each side Can already be done with pixmap borders. > - lua scripting interface > > i think lua is important because it lets people extend mvwm in ways > not possible right now. Have you tried fvwm's perllib? You can also already let any external program generate fvwm input with the PipeRead command, and feed it with environment variables as input. Could you please elaborate on what you think fvwm is missing in terms of scripting flexibility? (Other than fvwm's scripting language can be awkward - we're working on that.) Note that mvwm is not going to be a brand new window manager that does everything from scratch. It will be a very much improved fvwm with maybe a few antique things removed. Regarding window handling and window decorations it won't change much for now. Ciao Dominik ^_^ ^_^ -- Dominik Vogt
