In order to have fully functioning close, minimize and help buttons, you MUST have a titlebar at least 3 px tall. This will provide 1px for a top margin, a 1px button, and a 1px bottom margin.

The smallest I've been able to make a title bar looks decent (in my opinion), provided enough white space to line up all the buttons evenly, AND is fully functional is about 9px tall.

Anything less than 3px will cause layering issues with the window elements and/or clipping of your graphic. That's just how it is with the hard-coded button locations in the titlebar.

You can get creative using taller titlebar images in conjunction with top margin transparencies; however, that will cause issues with clicking and dragging of the windows in game as well as trying to open doors, pick up groundspawns, etc. depending upon where you use that particular titlebar.

What you're experiencing is why all the truly minimalist mods have chat windows (at least) which require dragging the window into place from the four borders as opposed to drag and drop windows.
