Questions about Fluxbox decorations


Hi LQ!
About decorations in fluxbox:
From the man page i read that in apps file i can set window deco to NONE|NORMAL|TOOL|TINY|BORDER.

With 'ToggleDecor' command in 'keys' file i can only switch between NORMAL and NONE states, but i'd like to retain an one pixel border around windows when without decorations.

Is there a way to toggle between NORMAL and BORDER deco states using a keybinding?

I hope it's possible, please share, if there's a way how to achieve it. Thanks!

Nevermind, I've missed the part where you state it's on fluxbox and suggested you to state it, as it's more relevant than firefox. And I don't know.

Bump!

If anybody knows, please give a hint!

Is there a command to change deco sate from NORMAL to (just) BORDER with a keypress in fluxbox?

Edit: Okey, i added to ~/.fluxbox/'init' a line: 'session.screen0.defaultDeco: BORDER' so now i can toggle between BORDER and NORMAL modes. Though all windows are without decorations now, just 1 pixel border, it's ok,, because it closely resembles tiling wm's with colourful border around active windows. I guess i can globally set decorations on, through 'apps' file and then probably ToggleDecor would still toggle between the now-default BORDER and NORMAL states. Yep, it's fine as it is.

Edit2: No! Fluxbox still hides all borders with ToggleDecor toggle, even when 'session.screen0.defaultDeco: BORDER' is set in 'init' and windows have defined to start *with* decorations through 'apps' file. But it's still fine, i'll go with no other decorations but BORDER, and toggle deco back if i really need it. Thanks, web!
