Title: Windows and Caption Buttons > Aero > Dwm Window > Frames > Normal
Post by: Felix Neuscheler on February 08, 2013, 09:55:37 pm
Dear Users&Writers this is my first Post,
I've read a lot about the window frame corners. So i know that this is not the first time that someone asked this.

This was very interesting, but didn't help at all

Corners in window frame...

Where this transparency?

I've have those two png files...
Windows and Caption Buttons > Aero > Dwm Window > Frames > Normal > Bottom
Windows and Caption Buttons > Aero > Dwm Window > Frames > Normal > Top

and I'm not able to get nearly 100% transparent, "squared" Frameborders without having those tiny, little round corners,
were there seems to not 1Pixel.

There must be a way to solve this problem, with the twelve missing Pixels, in each corner.

Attached, the pictures.

That corner is caused by DWM's blur shader. It's rounded like the default frames. There's nothing that can be done about that unfortunately. However if you change the border padding (PADDEDBORDERWIDTH:INT in Sys Metrics) to a lower value it becomes less apparent, though your borders on the side and bottom will be smaller.

I don't have Windows 7 handy to double check this. But look into the graphics for the reflections/glows on the top frame. If I remember correctly the corners of the reflections/glows are rounded off. If you make them pointy then the problem your having becomes much less apparent.

Thanks Panda X and Eoin for you quick reply,

I've read about the DWM's blur shader. It's sad.
I tried to get some info about 7 DMW. Do have an idea, a link that could help?

Thanks at all
