Some application Windows are not modified

from Stardock Forums

Hi,
I installed curtains because the modern "no application border" is confusing.
It works on most apps but not the apps I most wanted it for.
Microsoft Word and WMWare Workstatotion. 

Is this due to them using a different UI library and thus there is nothing that can be done?

It will only apply to applications using standard titlebars.

If an application has created a fake one which simply looks like the OS one then nothing can alter it.

Well you can query an application's coordinates and size and draw a frame. around it. 
SnagIt does this. 
But it is a totally different approach and requires keeping track of a lot of things
and will be slow.

Sure but that isn't going to work as you cannot replace the existing bar as it may have custom controls in it.

Two titlebars would look most odd.
