Description Philippe DePass 2006-04-27 18:47:59 UTC

Fluxbox 0.9.14-gentoo-r1
aterm version 1.00.00

Fluxbox will not allow applications (specifically aterm) to set their own *borderWidth & *borderColor.

The resouces borderWidth & borderColor usually set in the styles config however do work.  If I comment those out from my style and load Aterm*borderWidth and Aterm*borderColor they just don't work.

Also tested with aterm-0.4.2-r11.  Have yet to try fluxbox-0.9.15.

This is not a bug.

From the ICCCM (http://tronche.com/gui/x/icccm/sec-4.html#s-4.1.5):

Clients should be aware that their borders may not be visible. Window managers are free to use reparenting techniques to decorate client's top-level windows with borders containing titles,  controls, and other details to maintain a consistent look-and-feel. If they do, they are likely to override the client's attempts to     set the border width and set it to zero.
