Selective Window Bordering

[Kestrell]

Hello,
I am trying to configure xclock the way that I want it, which is the number date, newline, the day name, newline, the time eg:

1/14/05
Friday
10:42pm

I can’t get the newline character %n to work in strftime, so I decided to have 3 different xclocks, but then the borders for each one make the combination look bad. Is there a way to speficy no border for a certain window?

Thanks!

With the style command you can match a pattern to a window name, but it applies the style to all matches. So if you want all the xclocks to have the same border settings, then it’s not a problem and you could just do Style xclock BorderWidth 0, NoHandles and then place them in the same area by their geometry strings.
