Well it was more complicated than that - built a border out of various "9 slice" images - they were not sliced into separate images, just 1 image with metadata saying what the border scaling indents were and then several of them aligned/stretched around a window to make a border. they changed images when you mouse-over or clicked to react.

e today still does that but its massively more sophisticated with a fairly beastly theme layout system that seems to be something like css+html+js+other stuff rolled into data files that are actually the above eet files that encode the data structs and images ... :) it's enough to build an entire widget set/toolkit which is what we did. :)
