All you need actually is a WDEF resource, not an external. A WDEF resource
is installed in the system file or in your app or stack - somewhere in the
resource path. You may need someone to write for you a custom WDEF, but
there are several available in the system file, and more floating around
the web. (Someone made an apple-shaped WDEF a few years ago for MacHack,
for instance.)

Once you've got a suitable WDEF, you can use the decorations property to
set a stack to use that WDEF. Try these (using WDEFs available in the
system file):

  set the decorations of stack "My Stack" to 2 -- plain box
  set the decorations of stack "My Stack" to 16 -- window with rounded corners
  set the decorations of stack "My Stack" to 1993 -- palette with title bar
at left side

(Of course, the above applies only to Macs.)
