Notes, Comments and Warnings

TS2 windows are constructed using two boxes. A gray, slightly transparent (on browsers that support it) box provides a clearly visible border that separates the window from the background. Inside it is another box that provides a solid border to the window, has a white background, and contains any headers or footers specified by the host application.

To maintain backward compatibility with TS1 windows, the contents of the window are not placed inside the background box. They are placed inside the gray window box and the background is then positioned behind them. This is important to understand when applying styles. Inherited styles like font settings applied to the background will not be inherited by the window contents.

The windowTop and windowLeft properties define the position of the top left corner of the window. The windowWidth and windowHeight properties define the size of the content area inside all borders.
