On focus loss in Windows 7, app regains Windows border.

When the BorderlessWindow app loses focus, it gains it's borders back. This only occurs on Windows 7.

Spent all day trying to get something halfway decent.

Still not sure what the root cause of the issue is here but I found if on Window Focus (WM_SETFOCUS) and Focus Loss (Check state in WM_ACTIVATE) if I set the window style again and redraw the frame it will return to the borderless state. The frame flashes briefly, but considering Windows 7 is nearly a decade old and is the lowest OS we are supporting this is a decent trade off.
