I've seen some comments in the past regarding custom window frames but they 
either tackle something very specific or don't seem to work in Cocoa or Linux.

I understand that to make a custom window frame Declares are needed (or, I 
guess, plugins that use similar calls but simplify implementation).

I'm looking for hints on what would be necessary in each platform to create a 
custom window frame. I assume the contents are never a problem so the problem 
really becomes the window title, the borders and, I guess, the menus for 
non-mac windows.

It started with the idea was to do my own window, down to the titlebar. Like 
the mockup below

(image link may be broken, if so use the URL above to see the dropbox page 
directly)

I'm looking to do the above style for all three platforms, with only the window 
widgets changing around (and, again, the menus in non-mac OSes)

So far I'm assuming I can't just do this and I'll need to recreate the window 
frame and title from scratch. I don't like it because it would become 
non-native (in the sense of functionality, it's non-native regarding looks). 

Do you have a way to create custom window frames for one or more of the three 
platforms? How would you go about doing this?
