Hello.
I use xfce4. I'm customizing the gui, and i would like to have
borderless windows. Is there any way to do this while still keeping
xfce? I googled a lot, but i didn't find anything helpful. on forums
mainly, others were saying it's not possible, other it is. but no one
was saying how..
can anybody help?

if not with xfce, what window manager should i use? i don't want
anything special

I've had good success with borderless windows in enlightenment, but it was
a while ago, and I didn't meke notes on how I did it, but I remember
looking it up online and finding it quite easily.

Ratpoison and Ion might be worth a look - and you can certainly generate
borderless windows with Fvwm. In either case there is work to be done
:-)

Its an option in KDE, not a global one but you can remove borders from
those applications you prefer not having borders.

ICEWM lets you set the horizontal and vertical border pixels from 0-128
in ./icewm/preferences
