Window border transparency issue...
Transparent part outside edge of the screen...
Monday, October 31, 2005 by Ronan H | Discussion: WindowBlinds
For this example lets use the R.I.P. Halloween skin released by Stardock as the base for my query.
When the skin is maximised, the transparent part of the window border goes outside the visible area on my screen, hence the top of the min / max / close buttons, and the top of the little moon and cloud image is not visible as its outside the screen. If the window isnt maximised it looks fine. It seems to be happening on all windows that can be maximised. I have to say its a little bit frustrating seeing as the reason for using WB5 skins is to see the transparency effect...
Is anyone else experiencing this? If so id love some feedback, its the first issue ive had with Windowblinds EVER since i started using it years ago...
Thanks...

WindowFX has this feature, but isn't really happy with WB5 yet. However, I have read that there is a new build in the works for WindowFX.
BTW, I have seen a lot of people refer to "WindowFX" as "WinFX". "WinFX" is a "next-generation set of managed APIs"http://msdn.microsoft.com/winfx/, supposedly coming in Vista, at least the last I read on that was 3 weeks ago. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/developers.mspx
The first few times I saw this reference, I thought that Stardock was supplying MS with some new toys, because I was already familiar with "Indigo" now known as Windows Communication Foundation. Anyway, just commenting...

Now THATS what im talking about! I have it sorted for now with zMover, can see all the lovely borders on DogmaX at last, wicked! Thanks a million for your help, its a wee bit cumbersome setting it up for each application but i spose that will eventually become less and less frequent as i get through them all...
All in all im liking it and im sure it will keep me all WB5'd up until the full fat release!
