Maximized controlzex:WindowChromeWindow leaves a 7 pixel transparent border on all sides #210

Hello Batzen, I suspect you have answered this before. My ControlzEx window doesn't maximize all the way to cover the entire display. There is a 7 pixel gap between the MainWindow and the display edge. I can see my desktop and other apps behind my window. I have also noticed that the mouse cursor changes to resize in the transparent border. I am running the latest version of Windows 11: I am also using the latest version of ControlzEx 7.0.0. BTW, great job getting rid of the flicker! What can I do to fix this problem? Thanks so much! Bruce |

That's of course not the desired behavior. Which settings exactly are you using? |

I am using the window class. In fact, I took the Showcase as an example for me. The Showcase maximizes correctly, so I am missing something. Here is my MainWindow.xaml: <controlzex:WindowChromeWindow

Ok. That should be fixed by #206. Will release the v7.0.1 sometime this week. |

Hey batzen, I took a look at 7.0.1-rc001. I see the main window fully maximizes now (no transparent border), however, the jitters are back when resizing from the left or the top. I guess that is why it is a preview? Just checking up on the latest developments. Bruce |

The jitters were gone because the returned NC-Size wasn't equal to the window size. In previous versions we applied a workaround that got rid of the jitter by adding a pixel at the top of the window, which wasn't visible but made nc-size and window size unequal. Sadly that caused other issues. Please not that all this only happens if you set |

Very good! I got rid of |

To fix the bug the size has to be equal.
So the jitter, sadly, returns. It's still a ~30 year old bug in Windows itself...

Please not that all this only happens if you set
WindowStyle="None".If you just remove that, everything should work fine.
