I don't know if this is something that you can fis or not, but I wanted to post this.  I'm sure you already know about it, but it only happens in the Watercolor theme so if other people can fix it, I'm sure you can too, right?

See how the window doesn't go all the way to the top?  The desktop shows thru a little bit.  I thought it might be a Miranda-ICQ thing, but they said it sounds like a theme issue, so I tested it, and it only does that in both of your Watercolor themes, and none of my other themes....

If anyone knows how to fix it and can post the fix here, perhaps Binary can include that in the next version too...  :)

Later,

This isnt fixable. It's been explained many times that my theme uses transparency in the titlebar to get the right look, and thats what causes this. Windows itself does not account for the transparency, so explorer windows will have this gap at top, most noticably in programs that use mdi windows.

is it a bug that they can fix by patching stylebuilder?

That is the only querk I have about this theme :|, and it puts me off from usi:cry: :cry: ....

Could any other members post to tell us if they have edited the theme & got rid of the space at the top? ....

:)anx :) ....

I dont see why people see this as a problem. You hardly ever run across it, and most people dont have their MDI windows unmaximized anyways. I wont allow the titlebar to be stretched normally, as you can see from themenorths screenshot, it wrecks the symmetry of the mozaic, and makes the titlebar look uneven. Trust me guys, I know what can or cant be done, I've only been working on this skin for what seems like years:)ow. :) I have been wokring on a 'workaround' to fix this issue on small windows (just have them as one solid colour), but it's just not possible to fix properly on normal windows. If that one small bug is keeping people from using the msstyle, then may I suggest using my WB;)kin ;)

    • What browser do you prefer to use, and why?

      By +Edouard · Posted

      The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with ad blockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Samsung Browser'. It has very little bloat and is a nice-looking web browser with an inbuilt 'Ad blocker'. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. This browser can also install Chrome extensions. I have a system wide Ad blocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the web browser, but over the whole system. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt ad blocker because of that.
