I am not that sure, if your other changes for Windows are correct though. The X11 backend has the default for handlesWindowDecorations to YES, for Windows you set it to NO. I would like them to be the same for both, at least until I get a reason, why not to do so.


I just thought it looked better that way ...

Under X11 with windowmaker, the appearance is pretty much the same either way, but under windows the native looks is less good once I'd modifed it to create windows as 'tool' windows so they didn't all appear in the task bar. I couldn't figure out a way to get a consistent window border look while excluding windows which shouldn't be in the task bar from it ... except by having the gui draw the window decorations.

Having various panels appear in the taskbar is a little irritating ... having the window used to drag and drop an image appear in the taskbar was downright horrible. Maybe there is a better solution to exclude windows from the taskbar ... but I'm not a windows programmer, so I don't know of one.


I did search a bit on Microsofts MSDN page and found the following:

They call it a voodoo trick to turn of task bar display and I would expect most voodoo stuff to be a lot simpler than this. Just a bit of black rooster and a few candles and all that. But this may be the way to go for Windows.
