I don't think modal stacks have decorations. It's determined by the OS on both Mac and Windows. See http://livecode.byu.edu/stackwindows/stacks.php. Scroll down to the Modal section.

I don't remember that being the case. If I modeless a stack I get the decorations but now the end user can click on the window behind this window which I do not want.
