That should have been 'YES'

I'm running XP, but I know of no reason that windows 7 should be different.

On my tsystem this works as expected:

YES = native look
NO = NexT
Removed = NeXT (or whatever your theme says)

Given that yu seem to be the only person with this problem, I think you are going to have to debug it yourself ... I would suggest starting by adding an NSLog to print the results of checking checking this in -setHandlesWindowDecorations: in WIN32Server.m ... that will tell you whether your problem is retrieving the setting from the defaults system or in using it later.

I should mention I'm using Windows 7 for my test.

I tried it both with it set to YES and NO and also after removing the default.

In all cases the app was restarted.

I tried out current svn, and it worked fine for me.

I then re-read the original report, and on closer reading see that this was user-error and the command was simply entered wrong.

it should have been:

defaults write NSGlobalDomain GSBackHandlesWindowDecorations YES

to have window decorations done by the backend rather than gui.

Is it possible that you are using the new UX Theme for Windows that Riccardo just published? In that theme the plist defines that the window decoration should be drawn by Windows and not GNUstep. Try switching to the default theme, restart your application and report back, whether it still is broken.

The title says it... This isn't working for me.

I do:

defaults write NSGlobalDomain GSBackHandlesWindowDecorations NO

When I start an app, GNUstep is drawing the decorations instead of Windows.
