How to have a precise application without window borders ?

Hello to all.
I am happily using gtk3-classic with one problem.
I use GNUBiff to notify me of new emails in my mailboxes.
Only, since installing gtk3-classic, the GNUBiff notification image has a border, which I'm sure you'll agree is not a good look.

Does anyone know a solution?
Thank you in advance.

Re: How to have a precise application without window borders ?

Borders are ideological issues in the "OPEN" world.
So Windows succeeded in this for me from the beginning
(I am talking about window 2.0).
Since then, I am always using a 5px(!!) border, which makes
sens on stacked window managers (I often end having
>50 windows open in one workspace ....).
But there are some people believing in "niceyness",
where others, like from VMware, even know, that borders
can even have a security impact: On VMware workstation,
which can offer seemless windows, you can color them
to show importance! Wished this for x2go ....
(and 5px borders, naturally - makes live easier).
