![]() How could I make it so that the window would stretch visually correctly on the whole screen in Windows 10 (leave no apparent gap), while keeping the feature valid for previous versions of Windows (Windows 7 - Windows 8.1)? Is there a clean way to set this "transparency" to zero? It seems that Windows 10 adds this transparent style to the border of non-maximized windows. (More precisely: 9 pixels on the left, 9 pixels on the right, and 9 pixels on the bottom.) With Windows 10, there is a small gap on the left, right and bottom that the window does not cover. ::MoveWindow(hwnd, 0, 0, width, height, TRUE) Int height = ::GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN) Int width = ::GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN) Style &= ~(WS_MAXIMIZEBOX|WS_MINIMIZEBOX|WS_THICKFRAME) Long style = ::GetWindowLong(hwnd, GWL_STYLE) To achieve this, we used the following code: void She is trained to a harness and wore a life-vest on our passages.Our 3d application window needs to cover the whole desktop of the user, including the task bar (not resizable, not maximized, not full screen as seen in video games, just a window with the in the top-right corner, the title bar, and the status bar). She immediately took to the boat like it was a big Jungle-Jim. Quite the seafarer! Our current tortie, CoCo, has also sailed with us in Mexico. She spent those years living with us on our sailboat and sailed with us wherever we went, including from Seattle to Alaska and offshore down to Mexico. Our second cat lived to the ripe age of 20 years. All were quite intelligent, eccentric, sometimes demanding yet always engaged companions and ‘playmates’. I’ve had three tortoise shell cats in succession. I’ll take a few days to see how and if my habits adapt. I just now tried it in Win 10 and it still feels weird, though it does make the mouse more precise with small movements. My muscle memory didn’t care for the feeling of ‘deceleration’ as I slowed the cursor when getting close to target or moving the pointer shorter distances. I now remember trying that feature early in Win 7. Conflicted whether that makes her a tabby+tortie (white belly and bib are a normal color variation of tabby) or a tabico (tabby calico). She has black, gray, cream, orange, brown stripes on her body and white belly, bib, and paws. I use synaptics instead to get this functionality back.Įdit: I just caught the bit about the cat with tortitude! I have one of those too. Incidentally, it is the lack of a setting like this that makes me dislike the libinput driver in Linux for touchpads. It’s equally important for touchpads, IMO. At high speed, it accelerates to about half that. I like the mouse (an actual mouse, not a touchpad) to move about 3/4 of an inch (19mm) to an inch (25mm) go from the left edge of the screen to the right at low speed. It makes hitting narrow elements with the mouse far easier when I have a relatively high speed setting, as I do. I always used this setting in Windows… tick that first, then set the pointer speed. Did you check the box for “enhance pointer precision” in the old, Control Panel settings? That introduces negative pointer acceleration at low speeds, so when you are moving the mouse slowly, it reduces the mouse movement speed to less than the nominal speed (as far as I can tell). I don’t know how to change the size of the resize handle (well, I do now after reading the post), but perhaps the mouse can be made more friendly. And, no, it didn’t change the visual thickness of the windows borders – only the width of the drag zones. ![]() ![]() The fiddle-factor to grab a window edge has been resolved. (Mine was set at “-15” which I think ends up being only 1 or 2 pixels wide?)Ĭhange it to a larger negative number, close regedit and restart the computer to apply the change.Īfter some testing, I settled on “-160”. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetricsĭouble click on BorderWidth. Searching the web was mostly a dead end until I found the following registry edit: Let me know if I’m missing some setting somewhere! I couldn’t find any settings in “Windows Settings” or in Control Panel to change the width of the zones for grabbing the edges or corners. ![]() I’ve been living with this for months and finally got frustrated enough to take action. For me, the only time this trade-off is too high is when trying to land on the very narrow edges of desktop windows so I can resize them on the fly. The trade-off is it makes it harder to land the pointer accurately on extremely small target areas of the screen. So my mouse cursor speed/sensitivity is set to maximum. My new monitor is 2560 x 1440 and for productivity reasons I like to be able to move my mouse cursor fully from side to side and top to bottom of the screen primarily with finger and wrist movement only.
