I found references in the code at a brief glance to "Title padding" as well as X and Y positions of the titles? I don't suppose that someone with better eyes could find the specific function (this was a quick, dirty glance) that builds/renders the title, but that would probably be where I'd start, if such a design is your desire.

Beyond that, getting the SGI dithering down would be neat, but ultimately doesn't bother me. I may try building this for FreeBSD soon, I use E16 wwith "IREX" right now but it has bugs out the wazoo due to some weirdness.

Funnily enough you might be better off using an alternative window manager like FVWM. The session manager (xmsm) says it can facilitate using a different WM in the docs. This will obviously break a bunch of stuff but it would be way easier to get the theme you want.
