I pushed something different now. Actually I removed the border
color after all, instead there are following colors by default:

#define SELBGCOLOR>----->-------"#666699"
#define SELFGCOLOR>----->-------"#eeeeee"
#define NORMBGCOLOR>---->-------"#333366"
#define NORMFGCOLOR>---->-------"#cccccc"
#define STATUSBGCOLOR>-->-------"#dddddd"
#define STATUSFGCOLOR>-->-------"#222222"
