In addition to all the other replies - using NoTitle, NoHandle and
Sticky in the database file for name that xprop reports as the
WM_CLASS(STRING) will get most of what you are looking for; with the
exception of the window still having a thin line around the window which
is your StickyForeColor/StickyBackColor defines. This was not enough for
me as I wanted the window to "disappear" into the same background, using
the same background too - an example is my screenshot
(http://the-site.dyn.ml.org/Linux/AfterStep/).
I acheived this by using Eterm
(ftp://ftp.the-site.dyn.ml.org/pub/Linux/).
Below are my settings for this:
1. database -
Style "xconsole" NoTitle, Sticky, WindowListSkip, NoHandles,
BorderWidth 0
2. autoexec (or .xinitrc) -
Exec "I" exec Eterm -g 137x5+0+0 -P blue-tile.xpm -x -f
grey60 -L 500 -T xconsole -n xconsole -C &
/* -x force Eterm to have no borders *
* -f foreground color *
* -L lines to save in scrollback buffer *
* -T title string *
* -n client instance, icon, and title strings*
* -C grab console messages *\
