Title: Forcing a universal caption height. Post by: Felipe on April 15, 2013, 02:32:37 am How? I saw it done in Amana 2, and I guess others also do it. Are there any negatives to doing this? I noticed the caption buttons went below the caption in the maximized frame, in Amana 2, but I want to make the caption taller, so maybe this wouldn't happen to me.
Windows 7 - latest beta. Thank you. Title: Re: Forcing a universal caption height. Post by: 3am on April 15, 2013, 03:16:13 pm How? I saw it done in Amana 2, and I guess others also do it.

Thank you. When a window is maximized the title bar height is shorter because the top frame is cut down as are the frames on all sides: (http://i632.photobucket.com/albums/uu41/3am_2009/Untitled-28_zps0e47cde2.png) In Amana 2 he failed to compensate for this in his top frame images and/or his caption button glyph images making the caption button glyph image backgrounds extend lower than the dark part of his top frame images when maximized.

I was wondering how he was able to force all windows to have the same caption height, as I would like to do the same. Thank you.

Actually using a PADDEDBORDERWIDTH:SIZE of 0 you can get the regular and maximized caption bar within 2 pixels of each other. Best I can do though Title: Re: Forcing a universal caption height. Post by: Felipe on April 20, 2013, 01:39:59 am Thank you, but I am not talking about the regular and max frame sizes.
Amana2 forces all regular frames to have the same caption height. This is not normal. Title: Re: Forcing a universal caption height.

Post by: 3am on April 20, 2013, 12:39:41 pm It is also just part of his top frame images that correspond to the caption/title bar such as the dark part here for example (Windows & Caption Buttons > Aero > DWM Window > Frames > Window > Top in Amana2):
(http://i632.photobucket.com/albums/uu41/3am_2009/DWMWindow_FrameTopImage_zpsc8d21baf.png) Nothing unusual or forced about it. It is part of the images so therefore it is always the same. Like I said the size problems arise when your windows are maximized. You mentioned it so I talked about it and how to compensate for it. |
