Titlebar-less application question

[Derek Bump]

Hello Mark,

The issue you are describing with Question #1 is the intended behavior,
as a window with no decorations (title bar) is considered transient by
Revolution.

I originally felt this was a bug, and filed Report #3935
(http://quality.runrev.com/qacenter/show_bug.cgi?id=3935).  It's now an
enhancement request, and if you really want it implemented, you need to
vote for it.  What I'm hoping for is the following:

        set the taskBarButton of this stack to [true|false]

But that won't happen unless more people vote for the enhancement.

Regarding Question #2, it sounds like you want to make every window edge
resizeable.  The way I tacked the issue was to create 4 buttons for each
window border that each resized the window side appropriately.  Then I
created 4 more buttons to fill in the corners so each corner resizes as
a normal window would.
