When you say "deal with this", do you mean "duplicate this effect"?

That's called the "non-client" area.  This is not always a good idea.  
It's never wise to surprise your users, and it can make it hard to drag 
windows around.  You can draw stuff in the non-client area using the 
wx.EVT_NC_PAINT event, or you can turn off the title bar and take over 
all of the window space as client space.  That means you'll need to 
present the minimize/maximize/close buttons yourself.
