Borderless Window Inconsistency between Wpf and Gtk

[Sarund9]

From the Discusion:
Borderless Window? #1926

We found something that might be considered an Issue

This window is in "borderless" mode, but it still contains a border in Wpf.

Is this intended behaviour of a Wpf window?
According to Documentation, this Window in Gtk does not have a Border at all.
This might be considered a platform inconsistency.

This is the default of WPF when creating resizable windows. It doesn't have a border if it is not resizable. To change it, you could do something like:

// in your startup code:
Eto.Style.Add<Eto.Wpf.Forms.FormHandler>("noborder", handler => {
  System.Windows.WindowChrome.SetWindowChrome(handler.Control, 
    new System.Windows.WindowChrome { ResizeBorderThickness = new System.Windows.Thickness(2) }
  )
});

// when creating your window:

myWindow.Style = "noborder";

That breaks the MenuBar (Items can't be clicked on)

You'll have to play around with the WindowChrome properties then, perhaps don't allow resizing at the top of the window by using new Thickness(2, 0, 2, 2).

Could just disable resizing and then there's no border at all, which IMO should be the default behavior to match GTK.

A Thickness of 0 still does not allow clicking on the menus.

That does work, but i want a resizable window with no borders

Potentially could override the OnMouseDown function on the window class itself, and check it the cursor position is at the edge of the window and resize from there.

This should be easier to do, regardless of the default. I think my suggestions aren't quite working correctly so it needs to be figured out.
