This variable can be nil (the default) meaning the fringes should have
the default width (8 pixels), it can be an integer value specifying
the width of both left and right fringe (where 0 means no fringe), or
a cons cell where car indicates width of left fringe and cdr indicates
width of right fringe (where again 0 can be used to indicate no
fringe).
To set this variable in a Lisp program, use `set-fringe-mode' to make
it take real effect.
Setting the variable with a customization buffer also takes effect.

you can use the interactive function `toggle-fringe'"

  "Set the default appearance of fringes on all frames.

When called interactively, query the user for MODE.  Valid values
for MODE include `none', `default', `left-only', `right-only',
`minimal' and `half'.

When used in a Lisp program, MODE can be a cons cell where the
integer in car specifies the left fringe width and the integer in
cdr specifies the right fringe width.  MODE can also be a single
integer that specifies both the left and the right fringe width.
If a fringe width specification is nil, that means to use the
default width (8 pixels).  This command may round up the left and
right width specifications to ensure that their sum is a multiple
of the character width of a frame.  It never rounds up a fringe
width of 0.

Fringe widths set by `set-window-fringes' override the default
fringe widths set by this command.  This command applies to all
frames that exist and frames to be created in the future.  If you
want to set the default appearance of fringes on the selected
frame only, see the command `set-fringe-style'."
