Skin cuts off bottom of window
Dual monitor support
Wednesday, May 31, 2006 by JERRY JOHNS | Discussion: WindowBlinds
About 1/2 of the skins I use with WindowBlinds don't work correctly with my dual display setup. Your skin Aerial does NOT have this problem. "Brushed Panther" by Xero does have the problem (one of many).
My setup: I have a Dell laptop with an external monitor. My desktop is shared and my start bar is on the external monitor.
When I maximize any window on the external monitor, the bottom of the window goes below the bottom of the monitor... about 1". Even if I move the start bar to the laptop, the windows on the external still go below...
I'm not sure if it is something with hardware setup, WindowBlinds 5, or the skins themselves.
Any thoughts on how to correct this?
Thanks.
Jerry
