+Top level windows in wxUniversal port can use either system-provided window

+the decorations themselves. By default the system decorations are used if they
+are available, but this method can be called with \arg{native} set to \false to
+change this for all windows created after this point.
+
+Also note that if \texttt{WXDECOR} environment variable is set, then custom
+decorations are used by default and so it may make sense to call this method
+with default argument if the application can't use custom decorations at all
+for some reason.
