I have sandboxie 3.38 and xp sp3. Any sandboxed window that is maximized will not have the border color around it. If the window is not maximized then the border appears. This happens for any window. This didn't happen with 3.37 and I installed 3.38 on a new windows install. Any guesses?

Who knows? I noticed the same thing and although it's minor, it kind of annoys me.

And yet I get a border when Firefox is maximized. (on XP, SB 3.38 )

I tried it with Notepad and Thunderbird, too.

In version 3.38 the border is meant to disappear when the window occupies the entire screen. This is different than maximized, where the border is still supposed to appear. So first I want to make sure that we're really talking about maximized windows as opposed to full screen windows.

If I hit the Maximize button on either Firefox 3.0.10 or IE 8, the border disappears. I can pull the window to a customized size and the border remains until I get to a size that fills the screen, at which point it disappears. Same issue occurs in notepad or wordpad.

If I have WMP full screen then sometimes the border begins to blink or even return to window mode.
Removed the border - alles geht's gut. Minor problems are no problem for such a spicy software.

If I auto-hide the Taskbar, then when maximizing a programs' window, I do not get a border - as designed.
If the Taskbar is not hidden, I get the border when maximizing the window - again, as designed.

wat0114, do you hide the Taskbar? That would account for no border around the window.

Guest10, I think surely you figured it out, regarding the auto-hide option. Perhaps I should revise the rules so the border disappears only when full screen AND there is no title bar. (As when pressing F11 in the browser.)

Guest10, you have led me to the answer Smile Thank you! My apologies tzuk for not knowing this, though I did try to find the answer before posting without success.

Yes, Guest10 did figure it out. As to your possible suggestion, I would probably prefer it because I like to autohide the taskbar, but I will be happy with whatever you decide upon. This is a phenomenal security product, one which I have only recently begun to realize its powerful potential. Exemplory work, tzuk!

Yes the problem occurs when the window is maximized. I'm not talking about full screen. I have my taskbar set to autohide also and I tried what Guest10 found out and the border did return when I unselected autohide. So I guess that's the issue? Thanks for finding this out.

Should be fixed in version 3.39.03.
