Thanks for the feedback! We'll look into fixing those issues up. In the meantime, I've updated the existing script in the repository with your new code

Issues with ScriptedFunction: Toggle Borders and Caption From Window (+ Fixes)

Binary Fortress Software — Thu, 30 Nov 2017 00:35:37 GMT

Ran into a few issues with this scripted function:
Toggle Borders and Caption From Window.

Issue 1: Inaccurate Window Sizing

This issue seems to be caused by calling

SetSize/SetSizeAndLocation

before

SetWindowStyle

, instead of after it. However, it seems that a borderless window cannot be resized by

SetSize/SetSizeAndLocation

. I managed to circumvent this by calling

user32.dll/SetWindowPos

. Perhaps

SetSize/SetSizeAndLocation

can be updated so that this workaround becomes unnecessary?

Issue 2: System Window Side Effects

This issue can mangle the Windows Shell & render it unusable. It is easily fixed by implementing a list of window classes that should always be ignored, as well as a list of window classes that should not have alternate styles applied. IMO these would be better situated as global settings, so that users can define said window class exclusions once & reuse them throughout their scripts.

Here is a Gist that contains

ToggleBorder

Maximize_RemoveBorder

functions with the above fixes implemented.
