You can make the window borders disappear from any window in Fluxbox.
Just make a "keys" file in ~/.fluxbox and make one of the settings, for
example
Mod4 t :ToggleDecor

That will make the borders disappear when you press the "Windows" key and
"t"
You can add others, of course - for instance I have
Mod4 m :MaximizeWindow
Mod4 v :MaximizeVertical
Mod4 h :MaximizeHorizontal
Mod4 g :ExecCommand gkrellm

... and so on. Information about this and other Fluxbox tweaks at
