I'd appreciate some advice here before I mess things up for everyone
else.
In the longer term I am fixing a border issue with the edit control, but before doing so I am fixing up the nonclient frame drawing code (i.e. NC_DoNCPaint95).
The code contains quite a bit of calculation based upon the system
metrics.
The code seems to reflect the Windows documentation. However it should come as no surprise that there are disagreements between that
documentation
and what I see on my Win95 computer! For example a frame with
WS_THICKEDGE
but no WS_BORDER nor WS_DLGFRAME nor WS_EX_DLGMODALFRAME on my computer
is
only 3 pixels wide, not 4 (although one of those pixels is the
COLOR_WINDOW
associated with the WS_THICKEDGE)
Is there a way to adjust the size of the borders on the Win95 to be able
to
see what affects what?

yes. Control Panel->Display->Appearance->Item and mess about (e.g. adjusting ActiveWindowBorder adjusts the BorderWidth setting in the WindowMetrics section of the Registry)
