The Graphic_LineDraw BRConfig.sys specification controls how borders around windows look. The following linedraw modes are supported:

CONFIG GRAPHIC_LINEDRAW THINRAISED  (Thin line Windows mode)
CONFIG GRAPHIC_LINEDRAW THIN        (Default BR thin line sunken)

The above do not require any bitmap files to be present.

CONFIG GRAPHIC_LINEDRAW RAISED   (BR linedraw as before)
CONFIG GRAPHIC_LINEDRAW SUNKEN

These require DRAWLINE.BMP and/or DRAWSUNK.BMP to be present.

RAISED is the default and is synonymous with ON.
