I am sticking to FLTK for creating windows. It wraps the pure native window manager into a cross platform API o.o. Maybe take a look!~

It intentionally doesn't do window decoration, as the intention was to delegate a lot of this to the menu server, so windows would have resize handles when they are active (just as objects in a typical DTP-style UI do), but not at other times and the window title and close/minimise/zoom buttons would be provided in the menu bar.
