How to change VI window frame width?

Hi,

 

Can anyone tell me how to change the width of the Microsoft frame around a LabVIEW VI?   

 

I am refering to the border that exists around any application running in Windows.  In some programs, they are able to even have buttons that hover into that space (like Microsoft Word).  I would like to know if there is a way to customize it to have a smaller thinner border.  

 

And...is there a way to add buttons to that space?

 

Thanks,

If you go to Properties->Window Appearance->Custom you can remove the Title Bar (and Menu Bar and Toolbar).  This gives you all but about 3 pixels as usuable space on your FP when the window is resizable and virtually no border otherwise.  You can then roll-your-own Title Bar and buttons.  The only difficult thing to replicate is the Menu bar, hopefully you do not really need it.
