Titlebar shrinks when maximizing window.
Wednesday, February 25, 2009 by BobbyPhoenix | Discussion: Skinning
I have a problem with the titlebar shrinking when I maximize a window. If it is sized to fit in my viewing area, it looks great, but as soon as I maximize it, it seems to shrink to about 3/4 the size, and my titlebar buttons are only showing the bottom half. It sort of looks like it maximizes above the top of the viewing area of the monitor. I know that is not happening since I tried other skins, and even the titlebar text centers itself to fit the now shrunken titlebar, so I don't know how to fix it. The images (restored down, and maximized) both have a size height of 82, so what is happening when maximized, and how do I fix it? Please help!

This is one of those stupid WB tricks...the size of the non perpixel titlebar is tied to the perpixel maxxed size...minus 4 pixels.
Why they are tied together is beyond me...good for you to figure it out...it certainly isnt a logical mental step to deduce the problem. ![]()

Never mind. I figured it out. It was the OS value in the UIS2 Caption Height settings. I just needed to increase it from 24 to 28.
