digitalmars.D - Narrow Windows Borders with SDL and D

Perhaps someone more Windows savvy than I can figure this mystery 
out. When creating windows through SDL via D, the windows created 
-- when viewed with Windows Classic, Aero Basic, or Luna (on XP) 
-- have minimal border padding, like so:

and looking hale and healthy

Now. I seem to dimly recall that this has something to do with 
the window style -- but AFAIK that shouldn't change because SDL's 
code doesn't change in this instance. So could OPTLINK have some 
influence on such things? Aside from that it works fine, so it's 
just an aesthetic matter -- and not a huge one as it looks fine 
with full Aero.

Looks like one of the styles (

) is being set or not set. WS_THICKFRAME or WS_BORDER look like 
likely candidates.

I can't find the post that I'm thinking of, but I remember this 
being discussed before. Essentially, it's something with Optlink 
that you can disable that makes Windows think it should use 
outdated styles.
