What if the title buttons configuration were left the way it is, but
moved to a MyStyle? That way in the look file there would be a line
that would be similar to this:
DefaultTitleButtonStyle "def_title_style"
Or even be able to specify the "TitleButtonStyle" in the other
MyStyles for focused, unfocused, sticky, etc. This way, in the
database file, you could have FButtonStyle, UButtonStyle,
SButtonStyle, M(enu)ButtonStyle.
This is just a thought, it is not completely thought out.
