    Snapping causes small borders around windows


    When I snap one window to the left side of my screen, and snap another one to the right, it'll leave 1-3 pixels on any (not all) sides of the window, showing my wallpaper through.


    How come window snapping is not pixel precise?

    :)

    Windows "snapping" needs to be better

    I am delighted to hear that the latest November update of Windows 10 include resizing "handler" when two windows are snapped side by side half of the screen each. That is really a life saver feature badly needed.

    I tried it and love it. But I actually needs more! So what is missing? Here's a few things are still badly needed:

    - shows the "handler" black bar even if only 1 windows snapped at one side, with no windows snapped at the other side. I found that some applications is harder to resize as when I point my arrow to their border, it doesn't always want to get into resizing
    "grip". I think that occurs due to the border of those application somehow smaller than standard Windows applications although they pretty much looks the same.

    - how about showing that "handler" on any resizing situation? On any situations even if it is just a randomly floating windows panel. This will give a good visual feedback to the user that they are having a good "grip" at that border.

    - adding capability for any windows border to snap to other windows border when resizing, no matter if they are snapped to the corner of the screen or just random floating panels!

    - add that handler grip to windows that are snapped to corner as well! It's great that now we can adjust the size horizontally, but it's a little unfortunate to not found that function for vertical situation, such as when you snap two windows at top left
    and bottom left corners.

    Snapping causes small borders around windows

    Curious small window bug - Win7 - UPDATE: Command line -tab parameter issue?

    Any steps to reproduce? GPU-Z dynamically changes the window border/size to enable resize only when sensor tab is active
