typhoon Posted December 3, 2023 Posted December 3, 2023 If I create any GUI window with top=0, part of the title bar will be cut off from the desktop. Of course I can specify a nonzero top value to push the window down but I expected AutoIt/WinAPI to compensate for the title bar automatically. I'm not sure if the necessary and sufficient top value is consistent across different versions/skins of Windows, so how would I code this dynamically without knowing what the script is running on?
Moderators Melba23 Posted December 3, 2023 Moderators Posted December 3, 2023 typhoon, Not the case when I create a GUI with "top" set to 0 - the GUI is drawn exactly at the top of the visible screen area. Could you please post some runnable code with the GUI creation line which is causing you this problem.

Moderators Melba23 Posted December 3, 2023 Moderators Posted December 3, 2023 typhoon, Nope, GUI still created accurately at the top of the screen for me. Do you perhaps have some wierd screen resolution set? Or a non-standard working area?

typhoon Posted December 4, 2023 Author Posted December 4, 2023 This is happening on two different displays (same PC) for me. One is 16:10 AR, 1680x1050. The other is 4:3 AR, 1400x1050. Both are running Windows 7 (Aero). Attached image showing the following: 1. Maximized LibreOffice title bar (background) 2. Affected top=0 window (center) 3. Same script using top=4 (offset to the right) argumentum 1
typhoon Posted December 6, 2023 Author Posted December 6, 2023 I will give up on this for now, but for anyone who might run into the same issue, I found a reference here that seems to confirm that 7/Aero does something weird with window sizing. Border rendering is affected by left=0 too. argumentum 1
