A polite reminder to add NoBorders/Borders. :)
I think NoBorders should remove the borders completely overwritting such
options as BorderWidth, Handles, HandleWidth. "Borders" restores borders.

Ok, if you are in a mood for a new interesting quest, here are the needs.
I think we may want to be able to remove all 4 side borders independently.
And it seems 2 types of options are needed, because of side titles:
NoTopBorder, NoLeftBorder, NoBottomBorder, NoRightBorder
NoTitleBorder, NoSideBorders, NoOppositeBorder
The first 4 are needed for this case. Suppose (well, it's a known fact)
you have FvwmButtons at the bottom-left of the page. You may want to add
NoLeftBorder and NoBottomBorder to this panel. If a panel covers the
bottom fully, also add NoRightBorder. Generally someone may want to add
No<Direction>Border to his FixedPosision window at the <Direction> edge.
Shading of such window works as expected, but we have one border on the
bottom, instead of two borders. I don't know how NoBorders/NoTitle window
should be shaded.
Now, I hope we agree how is a border near the title defined.
If a window has a title, there is a title-border that looks like |~~~~~~|
and 3 other direct borders.
+--- TitleBorder +--- SideBorders
v v
+--- ------------------------------------ +
|+-+ +----------------------------------+ |
||t| | | |
||i| | | |
||t| | client window | | <-- OppositeBorder
||l| | | |
||e| | | |
|+-+ +----------------------------------+ |
+--- ------------------------------------ +
This is a normal case. 2 more cases may be seen in other desktop systems:
NoTitleBorder +--- SideBorders
v
+-+ ------------------------------------ +
| | +----------------------------------+ |
|t| | | |
|i| | | |
|t| | client window | | <-- OppositeBorder
|l| | | |
|e| | | |
| | +----------------------------------+ |
+-+ ------------------------------------ +
and:
NoTitleBorder NoSideBorders
+-+ +----------------------------------+ |
|t| | | |
|i| | | |
|t| | client window | | <-- OppositeBorder
|l| | | |
|e| | | |
+-+ +----------------------------------+ |
I intentionally used 2 space columns and a single line for a border,
but otherwise the schemes are what I mean.
But maybe we don't need options NoSideBorders and NoOppositeBorder, only
one NoTitleBorder. A lot of window decoration designs assume titlebar
has no additional border in the |~~~~~~| like form.
Ideally every border may have different width, but removing individual
borders would be enough for now. So to sum this message up:
Style * Borders/NoBorders
Style * TopBorder/NoTopBorder, BottomBorder/NoBottomBorder
Style * LeftBorder/NoLeftBorder, RightBorder/NoRightBorder
Style * TitleBorder/NoTitleBorder
What do you think?

Mikhael.
