Well the problem there is that the small version of the caption bar contains individual pixel segments. When Windows tries to draw the caption bar, it take a segment from the middle and stretches it to the width of the window.

On themes where you see vertical gradients in the caption bar, like RULER, or Royal Inspirat, when you go to edit the theme, you usually find that the bitmap for the caption bar is very wide, as much as 600 or so pixels.

I have 2 possible solutions for you:

1. Edit the bitmap until you find it looks appropriate in a larger window.

2. Play around with bitmap values in the text file. The values for the caption bar in the text file affect how Windows handles the bitmap. For this particular bitmap, you will want to have it set to TILE...

[Window.Caption]

CaptionMargins = 5, 4, 10, 4

ContentMargins = 5, 4, 10, 4

ContentAlignment = left

FillColorHint = 212 208 200

ImageCount = 1

ImageFile = wobachi2FRAMECAPTION.bmp

Imagelayout = vertical

SizingMargins = 9, 9, 0, 3

[COLOR="Red"]SizingType = stretch[/COLOR]

Transparent = True

Change the text in RED to SizingType = tile.

Don't forget that you will also have to edit all of the text file portions for the various window types. They include: Window.Caption, Window.MaxCaption, Window.MinCaption, and Window.SmallCaption.
