How TC window borders to look like my SublimeText ?

Post by *wiperr »

Hiya guys,

I'm trying to get the borders (and the vertical separator) of my TC to look like borders of my SublimeText on right:

(the [img] tag don't work for some reason)

This is the closest I got to what I want (and I aint too happy), and I frankly have no further clues, except maybe find an Autohotkey hack.

If you have any ideas, I'd appreciate it.

Regards,
NWS

These controls are drawn by OS so it depends on OS theme.

Appreciate the response. Guess I'll have to figure out how Win draws these, or try some theme that changes it. Ty.

Notice that there is a separate border around the file panels, that is drawn by TC. on the left side it is placed 1 pixel from the border of the main window, on the right side it is placed up against the main window border. It is probably these file panel borders that makes the borders on your screenshot look thicker.

See: http://madsenworld.dk/tcmd/tcwin10.png

You cannot get rid of the file panel borders.

@petermad – Yep, I came to the same conclusion while examining more closely today, it's drawn by TC, not Win.

I think it's possible to get rid of them, but either only by hacking RAM contents or the TC's exe or relevant DLL. Unfortunately, both are far from my skillset. We'll see, I can live with this, but I ain't too happy. Thanks.
