Skinning PuTTY Configuration Window with WB per-pixel skin

from Stardock Forums
How can the configuration window of PuTTY (http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/) be made skinned correctly with WB5 (and a per-pixel skin with transparent titlebars)?

When I open PuTTY, the titlebar of the configuration window is shown unskinned most of the time. Every once in a while when opening it, the titlebar is skinned correctly. Also, once you drag the window around with the mouse, the titlebar "flips" to the skinned version. The buttons are shown correctly all the time.

I use the latest WB-Beta dated 2006/02/10 and a "per-pixel" skin with transparent titlebars. Graphics chip: NVidia GeForce4 420 Go, ForceWare 71.89

Try moving it away from the borders of the screen. I have a similar issue with Firefox.

Thanks for the quick response!

The window is about 450x430 in size and is centered on the screen automatically. My screen resolution is 1024x768. So there should be plenty of room for the window...

Any other hints?

Your observation is the same as mine, re: PuTTY. The configuration window skins fine with a non per-pixel skin. But with a WB 5 compliant per-pixel skin, the window isn't fully skinned but immediately changes and is fully skinned when it is moved; even slightly. Admittedly, this doesn't bother me at all since I only use the configuration window to load a saved session and make the connection.
