I have 2 tool windows - small modeless windows that sit in front of the main window, a bit like floating toolbars. I give these windows the WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW. The documentation says of this style: "A tool window has a title
bar that is shorter than a normal title bar, and the window title is drawn using a smaller font. " I presume 'shorter' really means 'thinner'. Anyway, it works as described under XP. But under Windows 8, the title
bar is unaffected by the style and the window title is drawn in the normal windows title font. Is this just a Windows 8 thing? I would prefer my tool windows to have thinner title bars with a small title bar font. Can anyone suggest
how I can get that to work in Windows 8? Thanks.
