Thanks! So the issue with Firefox and some other apps, is that when they're maximized, they don't shrink their titlebar like standard windows (e.g. File Explorer) do. So DF adjusts the buttons for what should be the shorter titlebar height, but it's not actually needed.

I've put this on our list to investigate further, to see if there's a way we can work around that.

As for the horizontal gap, that's intentional, to keep them somewhat separate from the standard caption buttons :)

Thanks!
Neat, thanks for the explanation and I appreciate you looking into it. ]]> RE: Window Buttons Not Matching Windows UI https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/window-buttons-not-matching-windows-ui/?ID=4efcabb8-9cc9-4408-ae47-2845b23ad4b7#10 Fri, 10 Jul 2020 19:48:11 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/window-buttons-not-matching-windows-ui/?ID=4efcabb8-9cc9-4408-ae47-2845b23ad4b7#10 DisplayFusion Thanks!

Perfect, thanks! If you restore the Firefox window, so it's not maximized, do the buttons line up a bit better then?
It's much better. There's a few pixels of whitespace on the bottom but it's improved vertically. Horizontally still has a large gap between the DisplayFusion and Windows buttons.

I've attached an image that I spliced together showing their accurate locations while highlighting two buttons to show their boundaries. ]]> RE: Window Buttons Not Matching Windows UI https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/window-buttons-not-matching-windows-ui/?ID=4efcabb8-9cc9-4408-ae47-2845b23ad4b7#8 Fri, 10 Jul 2020 01:29:22 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/window-buttons-not-matching-windows-ui/?ID=4efcabb8-9cc9-4408-ae47-2845b23ad4b7#8 DisplayFusion Perfect, thanks!

Could you tell me what your monitor scaling level is set to in the Windows display settings?
I've attached screenshots of my display settings. ]]> RE: Window Buttons Not Matching Windows UI https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/window-buttons-not-matching-windows-ui/?ID=4efcabb8-9cc9-4408-ae47-2845b23ad4b7#6 Thu, 09 Jul 2020 13:19:15 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/window-buttons-not-matching-windows-ui/?ID=4efcabb8-9cc9-4408-ae47-2845b23ad4b7#6 DisplayFusion Could you tell me what your monitor scaling level is set to in the Windows display settings? ]]> RE: Window Buttons Not Matching Windows UI https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/window-buttons-not-matching-windows-ui/?ID=4efcabb8-9cc9-4408-ae47-2845b23ad4b7#5 Tue, 07 Jul 2020 21:59:16 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/window-buttons-not-matching-windows-ui/?ID=4efcabb8-9cc9-4408-ae47-2845b23ad4b7#5 DisplayFusion

However, in your screenshot, there's definitely something weird going on with the alignment and size of the titlebar button. Could you send me a copy of your troubleshooting info?
Thanks for the reply Keith. The titlebar button appears that way in most applications besides Explorer.

I've attached the troubleshooting dump as requested — let me know if there's anything else I can provide. ]]> RE: Window Buttons Not Matching Windows UI https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/window-buttons-not-matching-windows-ui/?ID=4efcabb8-9cc9-4408-ae47-2845b23ad4b7#4 Tue, 07 Jul 2020 21:47:08 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/window-buttons-not-matching-windows-ui/?ID=4efcabb8-9cc9-4408-ae47-2845b23ad4b7#4 DisplayFusion We'll likely refresh them some day, but there are a ton of titlebar button images in DF that would need to be updated.

However, in your screenshot, there's definitely something weird going on with the alignment and size of the titlebar button. Could you send me a copy of your troubleshooting info? Here are the steps:

  • Open the Settings > Troubleshooting tab
  • Click the "Export Info to File" button
  • Reply with the file attached

I'm not an artist but it illustrates the button matching the existing Windows buttons in color, style, size, and spacing. ]]> Window Buttons Not Matching Windows UI https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/window-buttons-not-matching-windows-ui/?ID=4efcabb8-9cc9-4408-ae47-2845b23ad4b7 Thu, 02 Jul 2020 04:53:51 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/window-buttons-not-matching-windows-ui/?ID=4efcabb8-9cc9-4408-ae47-2845b23ad4b7 DisplayFusion How can I make the DisplayFusion window buttons match the Windows 10 UI? They currently look low-resolution and don't match the height of the minimize, maximize, and close buttons. I also use Groupy and they're able to add a + button which matches the UI perfectly. It should be possible to increase the quality of the DisplayFusion buttons as well.

I've attached a screenshot of what I'm talking about while using FireFox. Thanks. ]]>
