I always wanted to do that myself. I resorted to making a frameless 
window and drawing my own title bar. Then I was able to add a 
"dropdown/rollup" button to my custom titlebar. Of course, I had to 
write my own dragging methods to drag the window under the cursor when 
the user clicks on the titlebar. But, it was worth it! :)

HTH,

Rob
