Description

Hey all, another thread for a new topic. So I'm planning around with the innards of nanowm and have noticed that while trying to theme it similarly to Win16, it mis-calc's the size of the client's borders, causing the client area overflows by 1px.

I'm sure I am doing something, but I'm curious what it would be.

I will post more in a bit, as I'm on my phone right now.

Thanks!
