Post From: Can SC sponsor or collab to have a Custom Window Skin to fix detached window borders ?

I run many detached windows. I've been looking for a solution to remove the white top bar that is the result of hiding the Title and Menu bars. The contrast with a black chart background and a black OLED desktop, is creating unnecessary eye strain. I do not want to change the color of my charts nor do I want to overlap them.

The furthest I was able to get was editing Padded Window Border inside of the Windows Registry. I have changed border settings, title bar settings, accent color settings and DWM within the registry with no luck.

I have read the forum posts asking for this fix. I've seen just about only two options WindowBlinds and WinAeroTweaker to address specific window border issues. Many of us want a definitive solution to this. WinAeroTweaker bricked my windows 11 install and I actually decided to downgrade to windows 10. WindowBlinds actually seems to work, but it's going to affect the entire UI of the OS - and some of the presets need some work.

I'm not completely happy with WindowBlinds 11. #1 I lost the settings to get a borderless, no title, and no menu skin. Now I have to use a title bar with Transparency effects to remove the entire grey 1 pixel outline - This whole this is so frustrating. So many color configurations and UI elements, and it affects other parts of window functionality.

The YouTube search results for Sierra Chart Dark mode - Does NOT address detached Window border padding and coloring.

Surely SC can make money off this and people can get paid for their time. I don't see any 3rd party SC vendor that is doing something like this. With someone that knows what they are doing they can create this up within a very short time period. It seems like free money with how many SC users want this OS change.

We can do whatever SC wants. We can buy the skin from SC. You can give out codes, we can go to the provider with the code to purchase. We can buy the skin from a 3rd party store with affiliate payment to SC. Or SC can collab with a skin software provider with affiliate payments.

Please, Please, let's get this OS UI issue settled, and so many non SC users will be interested in how these charts look. This is the Ultimate Dark Mode.

If I have to move over to linux to get this done, then just tell me / us.

Thank you.
