Turning off fringes

Turning off fringes

[Jesper Holmberg]

I was under the impression that starting with Emacs 21.3, it would be
possible to turn off the fringes. However, now I am running version
21.3.2, and I can find no references to this. Have I missed something?

TIA,

Jesper

I'm afraid you'll have to wait for 21.4 (or whatever the next non
bugfix-only release will be called):

* Changes in Emacs 21.4

** You can now customize the use of window fringes.  To control this
for all frames, use M-x fringe-mode or the Show/Hide submenu of the
top-level Options menu, or customize the `fringe-mode' variable.  To
control this for a specific frame, use the command M-x
set-fringe-style.

I see. Thank you.
