Visual Studio Code on Windows 7 - window has no borders

I'm running VS Code on Win 7 with aero off and the Win 7 "Basic" theme. I'm using the VS light theme on VSCode. This means that editor windows and such have a white background. Apps that obey the Win 7 theme has a boundary around them to delineate where the window ends. VSCode doesn't appear to obey this -

enter image description here Notice how the window just bleeds into the window behind it. I find this visually disorienting. Yes, a different theme with a dark background would solve this, but I have a strong preference for dark text on a light (white) background.

Is there any way to force VSCode to use the Win 7 windows layout?

VSCode will use the OS standard window decorations, including window frame borders, if you set the "Window: Title Bar Style" setting to "native". (It affects more than just the title bar.)
