. I have only had a problem with the close/min/max buttons being half gone; and only on some skins. Mainly Vista clones.It would be nice if the boarders would show up. Hopefully it isn't a bug in WB5

On skins which have per pixel borders, the borders will not appear when the window is maximized. This is identical to what happens with Windows Classic.
The titlebar remains visible and can have per pixel depending on the skin authors choices.

but if you use WindowFX you can set the 'maximize size' of you windows so that they stop short of fully maximizing the transparency out. you'll just have to play with the number until you get to your liking.

Well, I've noticed ever since the last update of WB5 my GT3 OS borders are off a tad too. The taskbar doesn't fully extend to the far right of the screen. It stops about 1/16th of an inch short... enough to actually see the wallpaper behind it. And, when maximized, the tops of the title bars are clipped... even on my second monitor.
Everything was just fine until the last update of WB5.

I think it would be best to leave Windowblinds assistance to people like Neil Banfield....as he wrote the program. Assistance is only as good as the 'qualifications' of the assistant....

| but I have installed it 300 different times in 50 Windows |
you mean you had to install it 6 times on each one to get it right?

Maybe 300 times in 50 Windows due to blowing the first 49 Windows up

Ooops... spoke too soon...
I just tried editing the borders in SkinStudio Pro as per Jey_son's instructions (above). It no worky. Changing the value(s) to 0 does not fix the maximized border clipping problem. Bummer.

| Screen edge clip settings are having no effect with the latest beta, even with non-perpixel borders. Rolling back to the immediately prior beta, which was respecting screen edge clip settings for non-perpixel borders, fixed the problem (perpixel borders are a different animal). |
Okay, I'm not quite understanding what was said here, but I think what he's saying in his own (programmer/tester) way is that... yes, there is a problem with the lastest beta, but rolling back to the previous beta solves the problem. So, it's an easy fix for the next beta coming shortly.
Then Neil responded with... "Daiwa: thanks for reporting that. It seems a minor tweak caused that to stop working correctly."
Am I right... or what?
