[Feature request] Border

[MarcelRobitaille]

Is it possible to add a border around the window? I am using this for notifications and right now I am making one slightly larger one to go underneath. It would be great to have a feature where you can specify a border width and a colour.

You could try something like this:

echo "^fg(#b01de1)^r(100x25)^ib(1)^pa(2;2)^fg(#010101)^r(96x21)^ib(1)^pa(4;4)^fg(#ffffff)notified" | dzen2 -p 5 -x 100 -y 25 -w 100 -h 25 -ta l

You can probably omit the first rectangle if you set the backgroundcolor of dzen2 to the border color you want. So, there should be no need to start two instances of dzen2.

Edit: corrected my example.

It should look like this:

While that does work, I ended up going with a fork of lemonbar that supports borders. Dzen would be nicer if it were ever as easy because of events though.
