Altering window borders with window blinds/Skin Studio

June 1, 2004 2:17 PM from

Does anyone know of a way to make the borders of my windows transparent but still have the ability to resize?
I've tried just making transparent border images... and I get the resize arrows to come up... and I've tried making my borders 1 px and still I don't have the ability to resize the window...

any suggestions?

I don't think it's possible, some things just aren't meant to be transparent

do you know the minimum size that the borders can be?

Needless to say.. I don't like bulky borders....

As far as Windows is concerned, if it's transparent, then it isn't there. Therefore, there's nothing to grab onto to resize. A fully visible 1 pixel border should work though, in theory.

That should work fine

I've tried the 1 px borders before.... and I didn't get it to work.... but maybe I didn't set it up right... *shrug* I don't know...

well in theory for the right side you would go the the very left of the graphic and put the 1 pixel border there and then make everything else transparent and so on for the bottom and other side

Why not make the whole border transparent except for a little tab on the bottom right corner for resizing? Just a thought.
