[comp.windows.x] Window values

dana@dino.bellcore.com (Dana A. Chee) (05/23/88)

RWS mentioned something in his response about GC's that has been
bothering me for some time.  Why is it that you CAN'T find out the
border of a window?  Because of this, window managers make a disaster
of your border trying to hilight, when with that info, they could do
domething smarter (or at least put things back when they exit).  You
can obtain the border width, but not the color.  Could anyone
enlighten me as to why this is?
