Docking window as a title bar on desktop

February 27, 2009 9:11:47 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

I customized by desktop in XP about 6 months ago and had some windows blinds skins that would dock a window on the desktop as a title bar.  Each window had a 4th button along with mimimize, maximize and close.  Now I've upgraded to Vista (which would explain the 6 month gap) and I don't see that option on any WB skins.  So here are my questions:
1) What is that feature called?
2) Is it available now that I have Vista?
3) If so, is it a function of WB, vista or the skin and how do I turn it on?

Thanks,

windowblinds

That is called Roll Up.You can configure WindowBlinds to do that when clicking on the titlebar in  WB configuration, Settings tab/Titlebar Settings.It's at at the bottom of the page.And yes,it works fine with Vista.

OK, thanks for that info.  Now I can "roll up" with a double click of the title bar.  But what happened to the fourth dot option in the upper right hand corner?  I didn't see that as an option in the list?  Is that no longer an option?  I would rather do that than double click, but at least I can do it now.

That extra button is up to the skinner,it doesn't seem to be used much any more. Jawndo by Night Train is one of the newer ones to  have a Roll Up button.Link You may like it,very polished and a good choice of colors,great for everyday use.Also look at  O_Stage_V,also by NT.Link Both are WB6/Vista ready.

There may be a way to add your own with SkinStudio,but that is something I know little about.
