I'm not sure what you mean by "having the inside border setup to
follow resizehints, but the outside border does not follow
resizehints"? Handling resizehints doesn't have an effect on borders,
it has an effect on the window. An application can for instance say "I
want to be resized in steps of 5 pixels only" or "I want to be
precisely this size". When resizehints handling is enabled, dwm will
honor those requests, otherwise it'll simply say "this is your size,
deal with it". I believe there's not much between all or nothing there
(other than being able to handle/ignore specific hints, but I doubt
that's what you meant).
