Re: Change window.frame for Mac and Win 32

Yes I understand now. Unfortunately this what I have already done with 
one of my windows and was looking for a better way than duplicating the 
other 10 just to set a silly frame property. Hopefully these windows 
will not add too much to the project.

It sure would be nice if you could chose a different frame value for 
different targets.

Thanks,
Drew
