GlowBorder disapears on WindowChromeWindow if ResizeMode = NoResize about controlzex

@batzen I really don't know exactly what it was. I looked at the issues and found some related ones, maybe this helps to understand this. But I'm with you, we should keep showing it.

Strange. Will check on a windows 10 machine after my vacation.

@punker76 can you remember why we disable the glow when the window can't be resized? IMHO we should just show it and disable its ability to resize the window. If someone wants to hide it the depth can be reduced to 0.

Thank you for looking into it.
I am not entirely sure if this is related to this issue or a different problem.
Currently it is a bit difficult to get a fully borderless window. I achieved this by setting the GlowColor to Transparent. I thought this was intended so, but after I ran into the problem with the ResizeMode, I checked in the MahApps.Metro Demo Application. There is a borderless Window Example, and in the current Dev Branch it shows a border.

Setting the glow to transparent does not remove the glow.
If you want to remove the glow you either have to set the glow colors to null or set the depth to 0.
Will fix the MahApps.Metro sample.

Sorry my previous post was a bit misunderstanding.
what I meant was that currently it is not possible to get a borderless window. The only workaround is setting the Glow Color to the background color of the window. The glow border covers the border of the window and the window "appears" to be borderless.
For me the workaround is ok. But if you fix the MahApps.Metro sample you see it yourself.

I might not understand what you are trying to achieve.
If you set the glow colors to null the glow is completely removed.

I am trying to get a window without a visible border. But setting BorderThicknes to 0 is not working

there is a thin gray border visible. It is also visible if i set the content of the demo project to hidden, the border seems not to be part of any control.
My workaround was to set the glow color to the color of the background, but I dont think this is the intendet way to do so.

Could you try to change the WindowStyle to None? I don't have a windows 10 machine to test it and it works on windows 11 without changing the window style.

[dcm99]

There is no visible change if i change WindowsStyle to None
tested on Windows 10 21H2 and Windows 10 1607 (LTSB)

@batzen I think under Windows 10 there is still some chrome border visible, which shows the selected accent form the settings.

• WindowsStyle=None
• BorderThickness=0
• Glow=0
• Brushes=Null

[batzen]

Ok, that was enough info. Found it. ;-)
I guess we should discuss the consequences of what we'd have to change after my vacation @punker76.
