It's probably not going to happen like that though - doing kind of fancy borders like that is somewhat laborious in HTML, there are some things like that which are easier to do outside of HTML that can help to simplify the structure and use of the UI.

It would not be that great just for general development if flyouts had to contain some kind of elaborate markup in each one - the way it works now is you can make a flyout that just contains only the controls that you need, that makes it a lot easier to develop stuff.

One thing that I could do though would be to make an option to have a borderless flyout so that you could make a custom one with whatever fancy markup you wanted inside of it.

No, not currently - flyouts are designed to be transient popup menu like things, and it is built in to them that they automatically close when they lose activation, like when you click on some other window.

For a persistent modeless window you will need to use a dialog for that right now.
