hmm, doesn't work so well.

this sets the border color in xterm:

echo -e "\e]11;#aa186f\007"
CLEAR='\e[2J\e[1;1H'
echo -ne "\e[37m\e[40m$CLEAR"
unset CLEAR

..for the internalBorder Xresource (xterm -b), but as soon as something wraps around column 80 it stops being the border color and becomes the background color.

it would be nice to figure a way to get the border color working properly though since it seems like a nice way to do it.
