How do you change the thickness of the borders on world and text boxes in Mushclient?

I recently had a computer catastrophe on my MUSHclient computer. I just migrated it to another computer and ever since then, all of the worlds and the pop-up text boxes have these THICK CHUNKY BORDERS. The border of Mushclient.exe itself is a thin size and other programs are thin size, but the worlds have these borders.

Can you show some screenshots of what you're talking about? We can't see over your shoulder.

Sure.

Here's a picture.

Basically, every other program that pops up windows has these super thin, barely-a-pixel-wide edges. Paint, browsers, the taskbar, everything in Windows.

But in MUSHclient, while the EXTERIOR borders are razor thin, every single world has these super thick thick thick windows.

If you look at these images, the borders of each world are so much more thick than anything else. They're half as thick as the scroll bar!

I recently started using MUSHclient on a Windows 10 computer and it seems that all the window borders on every program default to being thin, but for whatever reason, the MUSHclient windows (which used to be thin) are now these thick thick edges.

I don't know if there's an option or setting or some way to change that. I looked up borders and windows but that's a hot topic for scripting, so if this question was answered somewhere else, I couldn't find it after putting in some effort.

I believe that this is a known issue with MDI child windows not being themed in Windows 10.

According to Stack Overflow: Thin border lines in MFC/MDI the thick borders are intentional so you can resize the child windows.
