Tiny tweak/hack in code needed


Recommended Posts

Hi guys,


I'm trying to theme my TotalCMD the same way as Sublime on right:

tc-borders-wannakill.jpg

TC's borders seem to be rendered by itself, not the OS, so I assume the only way to edit them is by hacking the relevant source 

My question is – what tools do I use to figure out which lines of code render these borders, and how can I edit them out?

Thanks,
Nenad

Assuming you're serious, which may or may not be the case, I can only say that my Google Search of "aloe vera" isn't leading me to any tools I might find useful in this quest. Care to specify further?

Indeed, apologies for the unhelpful comment there. I think you might need to look at something like Resource Hacker http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/ which is freeware, but might do what you're after?

Thanks, Steven.

I'm aware of Resource Hacker, but I'm having trouble locating/auditing which lines of code exactly generate these borders.

I don't even mind paying for a quality piece of software, or to anyone who has the technical skills to pull this off, but I'm not even sure in which direction I should look for. If you have any pointers, by all means, they will be appreciated.

I don't think that is an application boarder, I think that's a control border.

What version of Windows? If you are able to control the border color on the system, could you check whether these borders are pulling system-defined colors?

Edit: can't test since I don't use TC, but AHK can apparently change the appearance of the current window.

Might just need to create a manifest file for the app so that it loads the latest common controls.
