Title bar on the side

[Varen Swaab]

I also thought I'd seen this before but I could be wrong. I **could** 
fake it like Jacque's suggestion but dealing with the look and feel on 
both Mac & Win systems would be a real pain and perhaps not very 
convincing. I'd really prefer to have a programmed solution.

Thanks

Var
