Yes, there is no theme defined for your purpose. But you can easily define your own theme realizing what you need (though: I didn't write documentation on that yet, sorry!). The code attached should solve your problem.

AsciiTable at = new AsciiTable();
at.addRule();
at.addRow("cell", "cell");
at.addRule();
at.addRow("cell", "cell");
at.addRule();
at.addRow("cell", "cell");
at.addRule();
int gridTheme = 
	HAS_MID_CONNECTOR | HAS_MID_BORDER_LEFT | HAS_MID_BORDER_RIGHT | HAS_MID_LINE |
	HAS_CONTENT_LEFT | HAS_CONTENT_MID | HAS_CONTENT_RIGHT;
at.getContext().setGridTheme(gridTheme);
System.out.println(at.render());

The code simply creates a table with rows and rules. Then defines a grid theme using the full theme and removing top/bottom line related parts. Set the new grid theme on the table context, then render and print.

Does that help?

Expected output
