Styling MDI windows with Curtains?

from Stardock Forums

I noticed in Curtains that none of the styles seem to affect MDI windows.  Is this possible in some way I haven't figured out?

I understand Curtains works differently from WB (where it does work) and it might not be possible, or it could be a v2 feature, but speaking for myself, I certainly am quite tired of the not-so-appealing basic/aero lite theme on MDI windows. 

In the past there have been some great themes/styles (both for WB and without) that have made MDI windows look far more appealing, but there are a lot of drawbacks by using those methods of theming that don't exist with Curtains, which is part of the appeal.

Hello again,

Just get words from Dev Team, No, Curtains cannot skin MDI Windows.

Thank you,

Thanks for checking on my behalf basj, much obliged |-) . 

I have to say that's a real shame, ignoring my previously mentioned personal preferences, I would've liked to have Curtains as an answer for an IRC client I sometimes help support, where the question of how to change the MDI styling is often asked.
