bomberfishandClaude Opus 5.5 6b7f9c7d5c Glass: Windows 7's frame, drawn by the compositor from aero.msstyles
DWM, not the window, draws a composited window's frame on Windows 7, from
the DWMWindow parts of aero.msstyles: tools/aero/extract-dwm-frame.py
pulls that atlas and its parts' rectangles and nine-grid margins out of a
Windows 7 aero.msstyles, and a page that has them serves them at
/gex/aero/ (they are Microsoft's, so the page gets them from the user's
own copy of Windows, as the shell's DLLs; gex carries only the tool).

gex_glass_v1 gains set_frame: whether the compositor draws the frame, the
window's active and maximized state, and the caption buttons where the
client's window system put them (it hit tests them). The record carries
it, now 72 words. The compositor draws the frame pieces over the glass
bands, the title in black on its glow, and the buttons and their glyphs
in their states; without the artwork, glass has no frame drawn on it.

web/test/glass.html shows a framed window.
