I think windows without any border look ugly, but it is up to you.

There is no good way to do it currently. You can only define a border
width for all window states (active and inactive), and the syntax here
is, of course, using Style not BorderStyle.
Here is a trick that does not work relably, but it may kind of work if
you only have windows with different names:
Style * HandleWidth 0
FvwmAuto 0 "Style $n HandleWidth 5" "Style $n HandleWidth 0"
#KillModule FvwmAuto
This is a case where individual window styles would help.
There is also a problem with some client window contents like xterm when
you dynamically change border width, at least in 2.5.x.
Another trick to try is to use new 2.5.6+ feature "BorderStyle Colorset"
and to define transparent borders, this way the border width is not
changed, but you at least may see the root background (but not overlapped
windows).
