When used with multiple monitors skinning has issues (tested on Office2007 skin, CJ version 10.3):

 

1. Load a skinned window

2. Maximize it over one monitor

3. Look at the borders - window border width is not correct and thus extends into adjacent monitor.

 

The issue is obvious, making the use of skins questionable within multi-display environments.

I wouldnt go that far.  I use three monitors and until I read this thread had never noticed.
 
Not to mention, while I have not tried this (since I just noticed 30 seconds ago) - it seems that if you just realized it was maximized and changed to a maximize style that is exactly the same as the normal one, but with these things adjusted - end of problem (or something to this extent).  Not a real fix, but should work in the meantime. 
 
[Window.SmallFrameLeft]
Borderonly = FALSE
ImageCount = 2
ImageFile = Blue\frameLeft.png
ImageLayout = vertical
SizingMargins = 1, 1, 0, 0
SizingType = stretch
Transparent = FALSE
 
[Window.SmallFrameRight]
Borderonly = FALSE
ImageCount = 2
ImageFile = Blue\frameRight.png
ImageLayout = vertical
SizingMargins = 1, 1, 0, 0
SizingType = stretch
Transparent = FALSE

... oh - and there is so many things that over hang - thats probably why I didnt notice.  Its pretty common, and really not a big deal - you can only have one app in focus at a time, and its going to be on top - so again - its really not going to cause any end user any grief.

Back to the old question - skin framework support of multiple monitors.

 
Codejock makes creation of nice interfaces a breeze, however our application looks a bit amateurish when the maximized window extends outside the correct monitor by 5(!) pixels.
 
Why is it a big deal? Imagine, that Codejock menus were “almost” as nice as they are now, but the icons or text was misaligned by a few pixels. Can application like that work? Sure! Does it draw attention as the job not done right? Absolutely!
 
Multi-monitor proliferation is continuing and I would say it is “a must to have” feature.
 
PS. Check Mathon 2 Beta browser at http://passport.maxthon.com/max2/. This a perfect example of a nice interface having this problem – maximizing the app on a multi-monitor system has this issue!

Hi,
It is fixed for 10.4.
SkinFramework is quite young control. Give us time.

Thanks, Oleg.

Hi,
 
10.4 will be released in end of December... Но если есть мейетейнс на срок более месяца, создайте исью и я пошлю бета версию.
