[SOLVED - Switched to urxvt] Colored Borders for Termite

Hi all -

I know you can color the border for urxvt however, can this also be accomplished for Termite?
I notice that there are these lines that can be used in your config file:

[hints]
padding = 2
border = 00FF00
border_width = 0.9

They don't seem to do much - whatI'm trying to do, is set a nice green border around the transparent Termite term.

Thanks!!
Chris

I use a site called terminal.sexy for my colors with termite. It has a random color generator that will spit out the info for export or you can create your own colors. Just cut and paste it into your config. I am not certain of transparency as I dont have any.

Re: [SOLVED - Switched to urxvt] Colored Borders for Termite

Thanks for the reply - I have seen this site (and thank you for mentioning for the others) however, it does not answer my question as outlined above.
Allow me to point you to what I posted:

[hints]
padding = 2
border = 00FF00  <-------------***
border_width = 0.9

*** This appears to do nothing at all, no matter the color you enter (with or without the # before the color code)

I suspect it can't be done and with that (as I grew tired of Google searching for possible answers) and after several hours of tinkering, I just opted for urxvt.
Allowed me to do what I wanted to in under 10 minutes.
