What you say makes sense to me. I'll be happy if the possibility is at least considered at sometime in the future. - Drew -----Original Message----- From: Kim F. Storm The current display engine need to position windows on a multiple of the frame default column width, so it is not trivial to introduce a 'thin line all the way up'. It is on my plan for 'after next release' to get rid of this restriction. Once that is done, adding a thin line will be easier, so I don't want to spend time now on a halfbaked solution. At least, 21.4 will not be any worse than 21.3.
