Meh, I believe that all bricks have to adhere to a grid, thus eliminating this idea, at least without some hacky manipulation, or sparkle-magic as we say on CC.

It'd still stick to the grid, but the brick itself wouldn't be centered. Think the window simply without the frame.

Yes, but you'd have to create two bricks on top of each other which causes problems.
You might be able to do it with static shapes - a windowless frame as a brick and the window pane inside it, non-colliding/raycasting like a JVS brick. If you paint the frame with a transparent paint then the pane changes color, making the frame non-rendering would have the pane disappear. Although the pane colour wouldn't save with bricks by default...
Truce:
Perhaps the windows could be just the frame, and when they're planted, the pane is created inside them? This would add the frames similar to how JVS creates shapes. Then, when a paint projectile hits the frame, it could alter its color - again, like JVS, how the shapes can change their colors. Except this time the frame and pane are different objects, so they can be painted seperately.
