This can only be done as a style right now. If the window does
not have a unique name/icon name/class or resource (or you can
give it a unique name) you are out of luck.

If there ever is a 3.0 release, tying styles to individual windows
will be one of the major features.

No, it *isn't*. Actually it's not flexible enough. Otherwise
people would not keep asking for new features of this kind :-)
