body: <p>How to set the size of the Non-client area of a Win32 window (native).</p>
  
  <p>What I want is to make the CAPTION/TITLE bar THICKER.</p>
  
  <p>I've read and been told that I should handle WM_NCCALCSIZE but I can't find nothing clear on the documentation.</p>
  
  <p><strong>From MSDN:</strong> </p>
  
  <p><strong>WM_NCCALCSIZE Notification</strong></p>
  
  <hr>
  
  <p>The <strong>WM_NCCALCSIZE</strong> message is sent when the size and position of a <strong>window's client area</strong> must be calculated. By processing this message, an application can control the content of the window's client area when the size or position of the window changes.</p>
  
  <p>A window receives this message through its WindowProc function. </p>
  
  <p><strong>wParam</strong>
  If wParam is TRUE, it specifies that the application should indicate which part of the client area contains valid information. The system copies the valid information to the specified area within the new client area. 
  If wParam is FALSE, the application does not need to indicate the valid part of the client area.</p>
  
  <p><strong>lParam</strong>
  If wParam is TRUE, lParam points to an NCCALCSIZE_PARAMS structure that contains information an application can use to calculate the new size and position of the <strong>client rectangle</strong>. 
  If wParam is FALSE, lParam points to a RECT structure. On entry, the structure contains the proposed window rectangle for the window. On exit, the structure should contain the screen coordinates of the corresponding window client area.</p>
