Please don't ask FVWM questions personally. I would spend much more time
answering the same questions (like this one) if I would answer personally.

The border is usually drawn using a three-dimentional (3d) looking relief.
Hilight and shadow colors are evaluated from the background color (black
in your case), they are gray in 2.4.x. Light shadows look weird on the
dark background, I know. But you can't draw it 3d with black bg otherwise.
You can't set hilight and shadow colors if you use BackColor, but you can
do this with colorsets. Try this:

  ModuleSynchronous FvwmTheme
  *FvwmTheme: Colorset 40 fg yellow, bg black, sh red, hi green

  Style FvwmPager Colorset 40

Then replace "red" and "green" with "black" or any other color.

If you want to see this 3d thing more clearly, set also:

  Style FvwmPager NoHandles, BorderWidth 10

Regards,
Mikhael.
