Well I was thinking of the non style command since as you ask no I don't tend to
place just certain windows along the bottom. More to the point I was thinking
along the lines of an addition to the windowshade function, something like check
window size, if size is > distance to screen edge then move window up difference.
I only trouble I can see having the reshade thing remember where the title bar
was.

A side title bar sounds like a neat idea, however IMHO that is more of too much
pretty option rather then fuctional. If done pretty soon people will want shaped
title bars and then we'll be at E.
