I think windows without any border look ugly, but it is up to you. > BorderStyle inActive -- BorderWidth 0 > or > BorderStyle inActive -- HandleWidth 0 > > did not work. > > This time I looked in the manpage and played a bit around before asking > here, but with no sucess :-) There is no good way to do it currently. You can only define a border width for all window states (active and inactive), and the syntax here is, of course, using Style not BorderStyle. Here is a trick that does not work relably, but it may kind of work if you only have windows with different names: Style * HandleWidth 0 FvwmAuto 0 "Style $n HandleWidth 5" "Style $n HandleWidth 0" #KillModule FvwmAuto This is a case where individual window styles would help. There is also a problem with some client window contents like xterm when you dynamically change border width, at least in 2.5.x. Another trick to try is to use new 2.5.6+ feature "BorderStyle Colorset" and to define transparent borders, this way the border width is not changed, but you at least may see the root background (but not overlapped windows).
