Title: [Sugestion] Add shadows when 'Skin Window Borders' is active
Post by: Freegells on February 06, 2012, 04:14:37 AM
Yesterday I've updated MusicBee and the SteelAndBee (http://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=5115.0) skin came with it. As a beautiful yet original skin, finally I've changed my previous skin (Dark) after months using it as my MusicBee visual style. When using "Dark", I left the default Windows borders option on, but when changing to this new one, it seemed like the default skin borders were more imersive.

However, I've noticed a (very) little visual inconsistence with all the default skin borders: they don't have the Aero shadow around them. I know it may be a little tricky to enable, but looks it's feasible after all, as I've seen in aplications like iTunes or even Steam, and makes MusicBee even more integrated with Windows Vista/7 UI.

EDIT: I've found one more problem with the said option: there is no Windows 7 Snap gestures (throw window at desktop sides makes it fill half of screen, double click the horizontal borders expand window to the maximum desktop height, etc.).
