Yes. It removes the restrictions of the Windows title bar and allows ASCII 0-255 and I presume Unicode characters to be included.
A draw back is vertical sizing. A single row title bar is fine for a small window. To keep the text vertically centered would require jumping to 3 rows, which is a bit thick. A way around that is to make the title bar with a hardware overlay. Now you could control the pixel size of the title bar, and even add custom made buttons. Past that is going full graphics. Now with either of those two options I'd have to review the differences in character detection with the SCREEN() statement. I would think it necessary to switch it out with a position detection function to locate the title bar controls.

Thanks, I' trying to integrate it right now and switch out the Windows title bar in my Sam-Clip app.

Yes with fonts. I set the fonts immediately after creating the borderless window. Next add the title bar elements.
Not sure what meant by "resizing bar to fit a line." _RESIZE?
