You can't use "effective" with custom properties either.

You *can* set the effective rect of a stack, although you may not get
the result you expect.

I now remember bug 16305. Mark entered it based on a list discussion
where I reported it. Hence my comments on it. I now use Panos's
workaround (in fact my code base is riddled with "work-arounds"), but
there seem to be a (limited) consensus that on Windows 10, the effective
rect should only factor in VISIBLE border elements, not INVISIBLE ones.
I still wish they would fix it.
That all said, where is effective width/heigh/rect of a stack/window
documented in the Dictionary? The 'effective rect' and other 'effective'
dimension properties of a stack/window are important for multiple window
positioning, resizing, alignment, and more and should be in teh
Dictionary. ALSO, as the 1 exception to the "you can not SET 'effective'
things rule, that should definitely be documented.
I'll file a documentation bug report, but I don't want to file one just
to find out I looked under the 'wrong' place.
