Ok, if I take and replace the 128 x 128 texture with say a 1024 x 768 texture where the top 25 pixels are green, sort of like a titlebar, and then the rest of the image is blue, would the metal window appear with the image not distorted, or would it squish the image so that the 1024 x 768 image fit into the metal window? Or would it read only the first 128 x 128 and then use that to repeat?

Nevermind. I go tit to work. I made a 128 x 2500 image with the top 20 or so pixels a titlebar pattern and then the rest a different pattern and then adjusted the bevels to match and now it looks like I have a window with borders and stuff. And the titlebar text still shows up.

I think it stretches horizontally and tiles vertically. Not 100% sure, though.

What are you trying to do, anyway? Just have a green stripe at the top of your metal windows? You can do that with the metal window bevels... That's how most people give the metal windows an aqua window look.
