Here's a patch to fvwm 2.0.43 that adds a new .fvwm2rc option:
HilightBordersOnly
When set, it causes fvwm to use the HilightColor for the title-bar and
border relief GC, but not to change the title/border background
color. This is sort of like the standard tvtwm/twm behavior of drawing a
colored border around the active window, but not to change the title
color. (as I detailed in a previous message, I use a wide variety of
title colors to mark different types of applications and a single
HilightColor was confusing (since all active windows ended up the same
color).
For example, I set:
HilightBordersOnly
HilightColor white red
and this causes the active window to be hilighted with a red border.
Let me know what you think,
