Reading through the archives, it seems a bunch of years back there had been an abortive discussion about making the Fvwm frames able to be sized independently. Specifically, the discussion mentioned being able to set the top, bottom, right and left borders to different sizes. I'm curious how difficult these would be to implement with the current codebase.

Even just a new option for Border/HandleHeight would be interesting. It could work the same as the Border/HandleWidth option, but obviously would only set the height of the top and bottom borders. Alternately it would be better, though probably harder, to make each border independantly sizable. Any chance any of this is on the todo list?

Also a question. For a verticle 6 pixel border (drawn in craptastic ascii) The colors draw like below.

  _shadow
/  _hilight
| /  _ hilight
|| /  _ background
||| /  _shadow
|||| /  _shadow
||||| /
||||||

Which when made transparent, makes only the background line transparent. The hilight and Shadow colors are still opaque. If I set the border to "flat" the entire thing is drawn as the background color and is transparent, but lacks contrast between windows without the outer 1 pixel shadow color. Is there a way to make all but the outer and innermost 1 pixel transparent?

Also, the hilight being drawn twice while the shadow is only drawn once makes the bevel look really odd/bad. Pretty obvious with a setup like:

Style * Handlewidth 20, Colorset 1
Colorset  1 bg yellow, hi red, sh blue

In any case, thanks for your time all. I've been using Fvwm for years and it just keeps getting better and better.
