Nose Nuggets Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 im not sure if anyone else has even noticed. Any window you have currently selected, has a bright blue line around the bottom and right side. its only about a pixel or two wide but damn is it ugly. its so bright its almost teal.

Pootis Spencer Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 It was designed that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nose Nuggets Posted February 2, 2007 Author Share Posted February 2, 2007 the "transparent" window frame was designed to have an opaque bright blue line around it? say it aint so.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pootis Spencer Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Its supposed to make the glass effect look more real. Yes it does look ugly but it was designed that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Lyle Global Moderator Posted February 2, 2007 Global Moderator Share Posted February 2, 2007 oh i see what you mean.. i maximize all my windows except WLM, so it's not a big problem for me... but i can see why you think it's ugly. just ignore it i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nose Nuggets Posted February 3, 2007 Author Share Posted February 3, 2007 everything EXCEPT the 2 pixel teal line looks friggin great! don't get me wrong. but the solid blue line absolutely retracts from the overall visual cool'ness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMELTN Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 one of the first things I noticed too... Why is it only on the bottom and right side though? Is it suppose to be some kind of shadow off the glass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiiragi Tsukasa Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 You could always patch uxtheme.dll and use some resource hacking tool (not reshack) that can handle PNG images and then remove the blue line in photoshop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xirtam Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 would be great if someone found away to remove it! I really dislike it and see know reason for it to be like that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonComet Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 I always assumed it was to make the edges stand out to make resizing windows easier. It stands out more than the transparent border, so I guess that makes it easier to see and click on. That's my best guess, but I don't mind it ever since I found out it wasn't a glitch back in beta 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xirtam Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 when the window is in the background its white, wish it would just stay that way all the time! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xirtam Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 I didn't work for me :( Was I supposed to just double click on it? or maybe do something slightly more elaborate :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenin91 Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 You're <snipped> me? It's a friggin .msstyle! You're suppos to patch your uxtheme, themeui and shvcs then replace this with the original .msstyle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sudeaux Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 (edited) You're (censored) me? It's a friggin .msstyle! You're suppos to patch your uxtheme, themeui and shvcs then replace this with the original .msstyle. No need for such language. :no: Custom Vista styles are applied differently than how they were in XP. It's not "common knowledge" as your post seems to suggest, unless you've read a tutorial or something of the sort. He probably wasn't aware that you had to actually replace the default msstyle. So chill. Edited February 3, 2007 by ctbx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
