  Is there any way to have ShapedForm resizable like a standard windows form, without adding a StatusStrip to the form?  It seems the problem is that the ShapedForm has a FormBorderStyle set to None, but changing this to anything else shows the windows form titlebar.

  Hi Adam,
  
  Thank you for writing.
  
  ShapedForm treats the whole space as its client area. When you dock a control in the form, it covers the border of the window and this disables form resizing. I would suggest setting an appropriate Padding value for the form. Another option is to add and anchor a panel that will contain all controls inside the form.
  
  I hope this helps. If you have other questions, do not hesitate to contact me.
  
  Kind regards,
