Changing the colour around the application window

Hi Guys,

I'm developing a user interface for my application in OSX and Windows. Is it possible some how I can change the color of the window (i.e. the grey bit in OSx or the Transparent blue in Win 7 - depending what theme you are using). I know I can apply a metal texture if I am working on a Mac (Im assuming you can do the same on Windows) - so I would like to do something similar but have my own colour of choice around the window frame.

Many thanks

Jalz

Jalz,

You could use a windowShape, but that's not resizable.

Kind regards,

Mark

Thanks Mark,

Im trying to create a photoshop 6 type of interface on both Mac and PC. Guess it can't be done (or done easily).

Will play with native controls
