Compton + Dwm: Shadow as semi-transparent border?

Hi!

http://i.imgur.com/XQME18jl.png

I ran into this image while derping on the internet and I've been trying to get borders/shadows like in that picture for a some time. I know that this is achieved using Compton and Dwm, but I can't find a way how to do that.

You can find more images with those borders from Desktop Threads from 4chan.

Thanks!

In compton:

• "-c" argument for shadow.

• "-e" argument for border opacity.

In "config.h" (of dwm):

• "normbordercolor" and "selbordercolor" for border color.

• "borderpx" for border size.

Thanks!

I tought that -e wasn't what I was searching for because it changes the opacity of the title bar too, and didn't remember that dwm didn't have them....
