I know what you mean now. Some clarification is needed I thinkk.. Things like the titlebar, the open/close/iconify buttons, resizing grips *for the window as a whole*, and so on, are *not* drawn by the client itself, but by the window manager client. So one window manager drew the top bar that says "el gimp" and the round buttons and borders, and Gimp drew the actual stuff *inside* the window. Another window manager drew the titlebar and resize bars for the Mozilla window, and Mozilla drew the stuff inside it. So this isn't really a Gtk question at all, it's a window manager question. And at least *some* window managers can do that easily enough - for instance, I use Enlightenment as my window manager, and it's quite themable, even on the fly - so doing what you wanted is fairly simple. http://www.enlightenment.org Other window managers may be able to do it as well - there's certainly enough choices out there. I'm just using Enlightenment as a proof of concept that it *is* doable, but *isn't* a Gtk issue....
