        Serge, will this be addressed in the next release? The problem effects all versions of Windows with the Taskbar set to Auto Hide.

        I have put code to turn off Extended Borders when maximizing if the user has Auto Hide turned on and to turn Extended Borders back on when restoring it neccessary. This is not a good fix as there is a lot of flicker and repainting with the changing of Extended Borders.

        Thanks,

        Scott Cannon

          This problem will be solved in the v6.45 I think.

            Hi,

            I just noticed the same problem on Windows 8.1 when using ExtendedBorders. I'm using Alpha Controls 9 Beta, so maybe in the official version 8.x this problem doesn't exist.

            Best regards

              Hello!

              You can avoid this problem now if change the ac_NoExtBordersIfMax variable to True.

              This variable is declared in the sConst unit and will be moved to the TsSkinManager.Options.NativeBorders.Maximized property in the version 9.

              You can download updated version 9 files and use TsSkinManager.Options.NativeBordersMaximized variable already.

                  Oops, no, it doesn't. Or let's say the task bar is now working 😉 But when having TsSkinManager.Options.NativeBordersMaximized enabled and the application starts in maximized mode, it looks very strange. The content of the form will be shown in upper left corner in normal size, the rest of the screen is blank (background of form).

                  I'll send you a screenshot.

                  Best regards

                    Thank you in advance. It's a glitch in the v9, seems.

                      this problem still exists with latest beta 9.

                        Hello!

                        Can you send me an example, please? I can't reproduce it in tests, maybe I'm doing something wrong.
