Remove ugly gray border?
« on: October 02, 2009, 04:06 PM »
I put a background image in my Desktop Coral to match my desktop look better but I still have the gray boarder around Desktop Coral which doesn't look good with my design of my desktop.

Can we get an option to remove that or is there already a way to remove it?

ah so if you use background image it adds a border, is that right?
so if you make it transparent then no border?

i can fix that.  what operating system are you using?

If I have a background there is a gray border.

If I make it transparent then I have no border, but the background is transparent too.

I am using Windows XP.

Thanks

ok, not hard to fix -- will try to have it done by monday.  not many people use this option i guess is why it hasn't been reported until now.

I have this same problem too. I have a semi-transparent bar of system stats (Rainmeter) along the top of my screen. I use Desktop Coral to reserve that area however there is always this grey border that shows up no matter what setting I use.

should be fixed in latest version (v1.08.01) -- go into options and check the checkbox for removing the border.
