Clean transparent round corners on Windows Aero #520

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What new or enhanced feature are you proposing?

I believe that the "Clean transparent corners" option on the "Active Window" 
tab does not work as expected. It fills corners with the gray color on Windows 
7, when Aero is enabled. For instance, see a screenshot on your main page:

Tried various sets of options on the "Active Window" tab, used the latest dev 
build 4.2.1.2360 -- but no luck at all.

What goal would this enhancement help you achieve?

It would be great to see clean and sharp transparent corners, like in the paid 
utility WinSnap: http://www.ntwind.com/software/winsnap.html

For Windows Aero supported OSes we recommend

It works -- now the corners are transparent!!

But capturing of the non-client area differs comparing with WinSnap. I'm 
sharing both the pictures in a case if you would like to tune the ZScreen code.

When you say they differ, do you mean the change in color of the title bar? TBH 
I am not sure why this happens. In regards to the issue report title, the 
corners are transparent :)
