I don't think there's much logic behind it. Keeping the title bar on screen is usually a good idea (so that the user can control the window even with a poor config). But in this case the user is asking for it specifically. I'd just comment out the code and wait for someone to complain. There's no guarantee that the title is on the top or left side of the window anyway. Ciao Dominik ^_^ ^_^ -- Dominik Vogt, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
