I absolutely agree with Aleix here. This is nothing a window manager should 
do. This can break applications in horrible and unexpected ways. Please do not 
go down this route. We do not know what the application draws and how it 
interacts with the window - where there are controls, etc.

Just imagine a video application without borders and you cut off pixels or a 
virtual machine where the virtualized operating system is not square.

If you want to do design, please do it in parts of your design. Don't force it 
on apps which are not controlled by us. And if we do it only for our 
controlled apps the better place to implement it, is in the apps or Breeze 
style.

Cheers
