I've tried jDesk-0.73 and desktop2-2.0.
What I want is to be able to set the top of the desk to a negative (-/~) value to get rid of the majority of a mazimized window's titlebar.
Will any of them actually do this?
not that I know of. i think we all have played enough with giving positive and negative values for the desktop areas in trying to configure them normally...
i've tried WndMan to move/size the DesktopBackgroundClass too, it didn't work.
but a cool idea to get at a program's menu.
a plus for low-res-laptop use i imagine.
if u dont like the title bar ... use windowblinds and a skin which doesnt display it and its gone - although i dont really understand why u would wanna do that :o
Windowblinds, yecch.
I'd like to get rid of most of it, because it is not needed. If I have 1px of the close button, I'll be fine :). I want all 1024 pixels across and 768 down.
Or at least I will once I get another video card in there.
create a mask out of paper and glue it to your screen, so you can't see the titlebar anymore ;P
there's a funky app i grabbed a while back, which lets you modify which 'window elements' individual programs can show.
for a while my mIRC window was nothing more than a chat window with a border - no scrollbars, titlebars, menus, or switch buttons.
unfortunately i've forgotton the name of this app .. heh, glad to be of no help! :P
I don't think Windows will let you set a work area larger than the monitor's screen area, so this'd require at least a system-wide hook.
Not exactly what you asked for, but you could go to display properties/appearance/advanced
and change the active window font size to 1 and the item size to 4 pixels (as low as it gets, i belive)
using windows classic style, btw
Vorlon: that would make the minimize button too small to use, though :(.
