XYplorer Beta Club

Change Log for the latest XYplorer BETA version (v9.40.0105, 31-aug-2010).

List: Experimentally enlarged the width by 2 pixels by removing
the right border (unless it's the left list in DP mode), so that
any vertical scrollbar touches the right window border. This is in
accordance with Explorer's behavior.
A particular advantage of this new behavior is that in a maximized
XY window you now can throw the mouse pointer at the right window
margin and be sure to hit the vertical scrollbar if there is any.
Another advantage is that 2 horizontal pixels are gained.

Can these 2 pixel borders also be removed to gain more pixel space? Removing these unnecessary lines would also make the interface look more clean and simple.

Or at least also remove the 2 pixel border at the leftmost side of the tree for balance?

WinVistaExtraLineSpacing=2

I'm not sure of the status ("somewhere in the UI I didn't look"/tweak/undocumented) of this setting in the .ini file, but this one seems promising:

Code: Select all

WinVistaExtraLineSpacing=2

Setting it to 0 may help.
