Please look at these two screenshots:

Here are the colors as defined in my config.h

#define NORMBORDERCOLOR "#bebebe"
#define NORMBGCOLOR "#bebebe"
#define NORMFGCOLOR "#000000"
#define SELBORDERCOLOR "#ff0000"
#define SELBGCOLOR "#005588"
#define SELFGCOLOR "#ffffff"
#define FLOATNORMBORDERCOLOR "#005588"
#define FLOATSELBORDERCOLOR "#ff0000"

I set NORMBORDERCOLOR to the background color of my GTK2 theme so that
the tiled windows visually appear "glued" together (there is no visible
border). At the same time I want the floating windows that have a border.

In case those direct links do not work try these:

Sorry for using such a service, unfortunately this mailing list blocks large
attachments.
