You can get rid of the title bar, but you can't get rid of the borders.
A window is, after all, a window and there are rules about windows. One
of which is they have borders. The borders can be quite small. This code
on my Windows NT machine gives me a window that is actually 802 by 602.
Function BigWindow, wid
tlb = Widget_Base(TLB_Frame_Attr=4)
drawID = Widget_Draw(tlb, XSize=800, YSize=600)
Widget_Control, tlb, /Realize
Widget_Control, drawID, Get_Value=wid
WSet, wid
Widget_Control, tlb, TLB_GET_SIZE=thisSize
Print, 'Actual window size: ', thisSize
RETURN, tlb
END
widgetID = BigWindow(wid)
TVScl, Dist(800, 600)
Wait, 5
Widget_Control, widgetID, /Destroy
END

No. :-)
