Reply to Gap of 3 transparent pixels between taskbar of maximized window, and the program's graphic area in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

OK, I just experimented and might have figured it out. It seems that Windowblinds is smart enough to extend the sizing area if you just extend the images for the left, right and bottom border. (In Skinstudio, Edit titlebars and WindowFrames -- Edit per-pixel-frames -- Left border, Right border, Bottom border) Then remains the issue of the top sizing control (see picture) <img src="https://cdn.stardock.us/forums/69/43/6943985/6e6e4433-c73b-4c69-a220-a41d84f49b1

What I mean are, the edges of the application windows where the cursor turns into these sorts of shapes: In W7 (or was it earlier) I seem to remember a setting to make these "grabbable resizing edges

You are a genius! It works. These "borders" in the same menu, are they the window sizing borders, and if i made them wider/higher, would it just work and automatically make the sizing control wider/higher? (I notice that the top border sizing control is somehow included in the "Caption" graphic but I still don't understand how the system knows that the topmost pixels are for sizing, and the remaining pixels are for dragging) I would just test it but I'm a litt

It's called "True Classic". https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/windowblinds/8628/ It only happens on this particular one. (It's why I am wondering where to start looking first)

Gap of 3 transparent pixels between taskbar of maximized window, and the program's graphic area in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

As in this picture: The #808080 colored line here is actually transparent, and anything from the window below will show here. Just so happened that the background was #808080-colored here. As you can see here, in a non maximized state the taskbar area is (correctly) three pixels higher which then covers the transparent

It seems I found some kind of solution to the problem, myself. You have to turn "show accent color on Start, taskbar and action center" to a suitable color, in my case a grey color that makes it easier to see

Reply to Taskbar Group Menu in Windows 10 in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

For instance, "The Captain", "True Classic", "Win8 Metro" -- black font "Acrylic 7", "Ice", "Precision", "Win8" -- white font It seems it is independent of the font color that's in the taskbar buttons themselves ... The menu background seems to always be black or at least very dark. The "mouse hover" state of the menu seems skinnable?

Thank you for the reply! Do you or anyone else know which font setting controls the font in this one? Because it's possible to change the font from black to white by changing WB style.

Taskbar Group Menu in Windows 10 in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

Skinning the taskbar group menu does not seem to work on Windows 10, is this a known issue with W10? I tried with a few of the included styles and the taskbar group menu looks the same on all of them, a very dark background that blurs whatever is behind it, and it has black text (on some darker styles - white text). I tried editing the style and tweaking stuff in the " Taskbar Group Menu" section, and applying, but it doesn't affect the behavior of t

You can't activate a trial version. Also you can't activate an account to report this here, unless you use facebook. I have to say all of this does not give me a great feeling, I wanted to check out Windowblinds and apparently this is not possible. This was 40 minutes of my life I am never getting back. oh well
