So your solution is to visibly shrink the contents of the window? Or was
that just make the window itself smaller and inject scrollbars in the
content area or something? Because neither of those is really a solution
to a problem so much as ugly workarounds.

And yes, this sort of problem generally requires case-specific solutions
which is why that's what I asked you for since you are actively looking at
the problem and I am not.
