Looks like you want a one-button FvwmButton that opens sub-panel (another
FvwmButton config). man FvwmButtons.
I suppose you know how to make any window borderless using Style command.
I believe it is possible to make FvwmButtons transparent (I didn't do it)
just like it is possible to get transparent FvwmIdent and FvwmIconMan.
This is done using colorsets. man FvwmTheme.
You can't bind F1 in FvwmButtons, but if you keep it focussed on mouse,
you may use Enter (or a mouse click) to roll the subpanel up and down.
Or you may use another solution, one FvwmButtons (without sub-panels)
and bind this on Ctrl-Shift-F1:
Style MyPanel \ # don't really use comments here
NoTitle, NoHandle, BorderWidth 0, \ # make it borderless
Sticky, StaysOnTop, \ # probably makes sense
WindowListSkip, CirculateSkip, \ # usually used for sticky windows
TitleAtBottom # so it is shaded to the bottom
Key F1 A SC All (MyPanel) WindowShade
