I just would like it visually separated form > the window borders to gain better nicer note display. set-window-margin should do what you're saying. For instance (set-window-margin (get-buffer-window) 4 4) will set the borders on both sides to 4 columns, without affecting the buffer content. The fringe will be between the margin and the buffer content though. (I've never used this function directly before, I've found it now by inspecting the olivetti-mode implementation) HTH
