size of window decorations

[Claus Dreischer]

Hi Klaus (the Great :-),

this does help indeed, but (there is always a but, right?)
where do i check which window style is used?

Here on WinXP i use the classic style because the windows are a bit
smaller, not the Windows XP style.

Any idea where i can look that up?

Regards,
	Claus.
