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 ;)

    • OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in February, OpenAI first announced Lockdown Mode for users who want the most comprehensive protection from potential attacks. At the time of the announcement, the company mentioned that this feature was available to a small set of highly security-conscious users, including executives or security teams at leading organizations. Today, OpenAI announced that Lockdown Mode is now rolling out to all personal ChatGPT accounts, including Free, Go, Plus, and Pro, and also self-serve ChatGPT Business accounts. Users can enable the feature from ChatGPT Settings > Security when it is available for their account. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, ChatGPT limits or disables several features that connect to the web or external services. These include live web browsing, Deep Research, Agent Mode, and more. Here is the complete list of services that will be disabled in Lockdown Mode: Live web browsing: Web browsing is limited to accessing only cached content. Search results may be limited, unavailable, or stale. Image support: ChatGPT may not display images in regular responses or retrieve images from the web. Users can still upload image files, and image generation remains available where it is otherwise available. Deep research: Deep research is disabled. Agent mode: Agent mode is disabled. Canvas networking: Users cannot approve Canvas-generated code to access the network. File downloads: ChatGPT cannot download files for data analysis. ChatGPT can still operate on your manually uploaded files. It is important to note that Lockdown Mode does not completely block prompt injections from appearing in content that ChatGPT processes. For example, a malicious instruction could still be present in an uploaded file or cached web content. However, the mode is designed to reduce the ways such an attack could send sensitive information outside the conversation. Along with Lockdown Mode, OpenAI today also announced that the Active sessions feature is now available across ChatGPT accounts and workspace types. This feature allows users to review where their account is signed in across devices and end sessions if required. A session will have the following information displayed: Device or browser information. First-party app context, such as ChatGPT, Codex, or API Platform. Approximate location. Sign-in date and time. Whether the device is a trusted device. Whether it is your current session. OpenAI highlighted that the Active sessions feature will not be available for accounts linked to an organization’s single sign-on setup, including SAML or OIDC.
