I do the following to get solid black borders when the window is in focus and
white borders when it is out of focus:

*BorderWidth:           0
awm.border.foreground:  black
awm.border.hilite:      on
awm.borderContexts:     on
awm.borderContext.background:   white
awm.borderContext.foreground:   black
awm.borderContext.cursor:       36
awm.borderContext.boldPixmap:   black
awm.borderContext.width:        4

The "black" pixmap is, as you might expect, solid black.  If you want it the
other way around, try reversing the foreground and background colors for the
borderContext.
