Abstract
In Microsoft Windows, the standard size of a window’s title bar is based on the size of the current system font and cannot be changed. Some applications (for example, Microsoft Visual Basic and Microsoft Excel) have toolboxes consisting of windows with smaller title bars. This article describes how you can use the itsybitsy functions to implement small title bars in windows.

The ItsyTest sample application demonstrates the use of the itsybitsy functions.
