What I was trying to hardly figure was how to draw complex caption shapes , for example :

Have a top caption having the part outside the yellow borders deleted.
when I test I 'm still viewing the deleted part as it wasn't transparent

But I remembered a reply from you on an old post I think , saying to OP it wasn't possible to edit caption shape directly

Oh. Yeah I don't think that can be done.

I can make bits and pieces of the Windows & Caption Buttons > Aero > DWM Window > Frames > Window > Top images transparent but not in the complex sculpted way you want. :(

Useless junk like this lol:

wow, that said you could make some part transparent when I couldn't !

How did you made that , I can't have tranparent part , deleted or blank part still appears ? that's what is making me crazy lol

and PNG should do that obviously

for example here ( the part blue here is supposed to be transparent ! appears black on testing )  :S

Could you share your " frame"  to test ( seriously  :D )

Otherwise the only way to get a perfect shape with transparent parts is to use and play around  :

Windows & Caption Buttons > Aero > DWM Window > Frames > Details > Shadows > Top

But it adds more height to titlebar and caption buttons .. bah  :D
