Windows Frame/Border...

[ProxRocks]

Anyone know of any apps that "hide" a windows 'frame'?

Basically, wanting to 'minimalize' the amount of screen space that hand-selected apps utilize by "hiding" its blue (by default in WinXP) title bar and the minimize/restore/close icons on that bar...

F11 will do it for IE, but somehow I don't think that's one of your 'hand-selected' apps.

lol...
not really looking to apply "full screen" viewing to any hand-selected app, but simply remove the 'titlebar' and the app-dependent/minimize/restore/close icons that appear in that titlebar...

something to "auto-hide" that titlebar, even if that window is only occupying 10% of my viewing pane...

what prompted the quest is VLC Media Player has a "Image clone" mode, whereby I then minimize (to systray, not taskbar) the "primary" window (that contains VLC's menus and other "buttons") but then my live video stream plays in a DirectX box with no menu or buttons - but WITH that cursed titlebar...

That tiny little titlebar is actually a NUISANCE when you place a 3-inch by 3-inch video feed "window" in the corner of my viewing pane set as "always on top" but that cursed titlebar is "cluttery"...

I'm thinking about just attempting a "hack" on VLC Media Player...

You could probably edit that specific dialog of VLC player with Resource Hacker.

No dice...
The ONLY thing that Resource Hacker (and a trial-run app called "Resource Tuner") is showing for vlc.exe is its icons...
