------------------

I have two suggestions for this:

1) set BorderStyle = 0 (I think that's NO border) and then use Shapes or
Lines to draw your own border. This means that the border color may not
match the user's window borders, but you may not care about that, and
there's probably a way to capture that information from the system and
set it at run-time.

2) Let them change the borders, but reset the form's dimensions in the
Refresh event. (I don't know off the top of my head whether you can force
this while they're changing the borders or not...)

My personal preference would be for #1, just to keep from eating up
system resources with frequent repaints, and then choosing a color scheme
for the whole application to use for your border colors.

Hope this helps!
