One thing I saw in that setup is a 'double inset' around the inner rim of the window border. With the current mwm border style, the client area of the window appears sunken relative to the title bar and window border. When a second inset, with reversed colors is displayed, the client area appears on the same level as the title bar, ie 'raised'. This looks really good for dialogs and other windows containing gui elements. Please compare the two dialogs in the image below, one without double inset, one with double inset: http://www.xs4all.nl/~josvanr/inset.png Maybe this would be a nice and not too difficult feature to implement some time. It is a function of a client window to draw the main area raised, lowered or flat. Only client knows which shadow and higlight colors to use (based on the background), FVWM has no any idea which colors to use for the raised client effect. Also a menu may be drawn even more raised by a toolkit. http://www.plig.org/xwinman/screenshots/dtwm-lally.gif BTW, why don't you use border handles, real CDE has them. :) Regards, Mikhael. -- Visit the official FVWM web page at URL: http://www.fvwm.org/.

RE: FVWM: [feature request] Double inset
HI! (wow still working late..) Yes I guess you are right, maybe I should look at the gtk-theme engine for doing this instead... About the border handles, in cde, normal windows have them, but popup dialogs don't. The image I referred to in my mail was a screenshot (edited) from a cde session. Is there a way in fvwm to give popup dialogs a different decoration? regards jos -Original Message- From: Mikhael Goikhman It is a function of a client window to draw the main area raised, lowered or flat.

If you have Style * MwmFunctions (as opposite to NoFuncHint), windows with the no-resize hint are automatically drawn without handles (like with NoHandles).
