Gee fellas, I tried this first in my own naïve way,
starting an FvwmConsole, typing in it the 'ChangeDecor decor-root' command,
then typing 'RefreshWindow'.
That produced the familiar big dot, so I clicked in the Console window.
And that produced no change at all:
still only the very thin outermost border had changed color.
So then I defined a new function using your recipe above in my .fvwmrc file,
restarted fvwm2, and executed that function in an FvwmConsole,
and got the same result: only the outermost pixels change color,
until I move the mouse out of, then back to, the console.
What's the German equivalent for the American phrase
"back to the drawing boards"? :-)
