Doesn't that area belong to the wm?  Or are you talking about the area
INSIDE that?

Thank you.

What I want to change is ONLY the browser border, i.e. that area inside 
the window that includes the buttons/menus on top, the information bar 
on the bottom and that very thin area on the sides.

The fg & bg are OK.

I can't stand that putrid green.

Cordially,
Courtney
