ok, so i was just starting to investigate my qbb idea, n wondered if i could use tint as a base.  but then got engrossed in editing my config... didnt even get so far as to download the source to look at.


but i managed to tighten it up a bit so it's that little more practical, and pixel perfect.

utter gorgeous.   no squandering screen space on boarders.


here's the tint2 config rc file contents:
