can you remove the BRIGHT blue border around active windows?

[Nose Nuggets]

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]

It was designed that way.

[Nose Nuggets]

the "transparent" window frame was designed to have an opaque bright blue line around it?

say it aint so....

[Pootis Spencer]

Its supposed to make the glass effect look more real. Yes it does look ugly but it was designed that way.

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

[Narc2500]

I don't like it either. :no:

[KeR]

I on the other had think visually it looks great.

[Nose Nuggets]

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.

[dazzy2004]

I agree, off with its head!

[SMELTN]

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?

[Hiiragi Tsukasa]

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.

I didn't even notice it until I read this...

[Novaoblivion]

That little line really irritates me!

[Impact]

I don't seem to notice it that much.

[Sudeaux]

Same here. :laugh: It really isn't that noticeable.

[xirtam]

would be great if someone found away to remove it! I really dislike it and see know reason for it to be like that!

[SonComet]

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.

[xirtam]

when the window is in the background its white, wish it would just stay that way all the time! :)

[Lenin91]

I though i were the only one hating it..

Use the .msstyle, and it's gone.. Have fun..

^^ that didn't work at all! :(

[Lenin91]

Yes it does.

[xirtam]

I didn't work for me :(

Was I supposed to just double click on it? or maybe do something slightly more elaborate :)

[Lenin91]

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.

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.

Oh thats how you do it, knew i was missing something and to think all this time it was such a simple task,

way less complicated than double clicking on it! :devil:
