Hi,
I'm using VWMTransparent, in RabidVWM, which makes the vwm borders had to distinguish. I've been trying to figure out the bevel around the windows (not the mini-windows) so I view it easier.

I think I should be using VWMBackBevel, VWMBackBevelLightColor , & VWMBackBevelDarkColor but I can't make it work. Couldn't find any posts in the forums on this. Does anyone have a code snippet to help me out?

thanks

VWMBackBevel, VWMBackLightColor, VWMBackDarkColor. The last two don't have "Bevel" in them.

Thanks for pointing out my obvious mistake! Besides that I also made one more obvious mistake and had to do some subtle tricks to make transparency work.

Anyway here's the code I used:
; colors
VWMUseFakeTrans
VWMWinColor 999999
VWMBackAlpha 254
IF ColorSchemeDefault
VWMSelColor 336699
ELSE
VWMSelColor FFA500
ENDIF
VWMBackColor FF00FF

; for virt window bevels (backgrounds)
VWMBackBevel
; sunken effect
;VWMBackLightColor 333333
;VWMBackDarkColor DDDDDD
; raised effect
VWMBackLightColor DDDDDD
VWMBackDarkColor 333333


Hopes this helps someone else.
