[xmonad] How to make a window floating above all the other windows and border-less?

[Magicloud Magiclouds]

Hi,
  Thanks for the help. I just modified my xmonad.hs like following.
Well, the doCenterFloat seems working, but the toggleBorder part does
not. The window still has a border, and it could receive focus.

manageHook_ :: ManageHook
manageHook_ = composeAll [ className =? "Clock" --> (do
                                                      w <- ask
                                                      liftX $ toggleBorder w
                                                      doCenterFloat) ]
