@andreszs Can you share what version of windows and what version of Postman you're using?
I can see both the border and shadow on my end.
@arlemi I'm using Windows 8.1 Pro x64 and Postman 10.7.0
Found your issue searching for "please postman put up borders in your window", so couldn't agree more with this issue!
@guipalazzo87 Are you on Windows 8.1 as well? Can you share a screenshot of your Windows Personalization > Color and Appearance > Advanced Appearance Settings screen?
Color Personalization settings are set to Windows defaults.
Problem persist in latest ?.?.??? version (not surprisingly, there's no About dialog).
No window border. No title nor menu bar. No About dialog, of course. Just a borderless web interface, only that this is not the web.
Postman does respect the native titlebar and menus on macOS.
This evident disdain for the Windows platform can only be explained by Postman developers being Apple extremists, displaying a laser-like focus on macOS development and neglecting Windows as if it were an abomination. Their strong aversion to the Windows platform detracts from a more inclusive approach to software development. It is essential for developers to recognize the value of diverse platforms and strive for a balanced and unbiased perspective in order to provide equal experiences for all users.
I'm in total agreement with andreszs, the Postman border on Windows completely disappears when there are other windows open behind it, especially editors. For me this has been true in Windows 10 and Windows Server 2019. Even a single pixel-wide black line as a border would be preferable to the current design.
completely agree. I hate this about Postman; it gets lost on my screen.
+1 Windows 10. On my machine, other apps mostly have borders, though there are cases where some borders are missing, so this may be at least in part a problem with Windows itself. For example, SourceTree is missing its bottom border. Postman is the only app that has no border at all, making it very difficult to discern where the window edges are.
Enabling window shadows works around the problem for me:
Nonetheless, Postman windows should have visible edges whether or not shadows are enabled.
I always have trouble with this issue as well
Is there an existing request for this feature?
Is your feature request related to a problem?
The lack of window borders makes locating the Postman titlebar an impossible mission whenever it is not maximized and the background contents happens to be white as well, because the window becomes mixed in an ocean of white pixels. This tendency to zero-interface (introduced by Microsoft and blindly followed by the rest of the ecosystem) is really becoming more and more irritating. We are about to reach a point where all sites and apps will be grayscale only and color monitors will be pointless.
At least please consider adding a black colored border to the window (maybe that's too shocking for your designers, how about "#CCC"?
Describe the solution you'd like
Adopt the standard Windows GUI window borders for the main and all modal windows and dialogs.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Avoid restoring the window size and use it constantly maximized, not ideal, specially on very large monitors.
