The Office2013 theme is difficult to change the window size in comparison with Windows7 theme in Ribbon sample program.
Edge of the left, top, right and bottom is difficult to change in particular.
Please fix this problem.

Thumbs Up

Yes, a border of 1 pixel/line is definitivly too small and the intersection look very strong.
Office 2013 shows a small shadow and the grip area has a wide region.


One more suggestion is to support a additional Win8 theme with blue caption bar (if app activated) and thick borders like explorer for non Win 8 operation systems.


Everbody who wish this too, please back me.

Regards

I have come up with a temporary solution to the issue raised above.  It isn't perfect but good enough for now.  I replaced the paint manager with a derived CCommandBarsOffice2013Theme object:
CXTPPaintManager::SetCustomTheme(new CCommandBarsOffice2013ThemeSizerFix();
The sole purpose of the CCommandBarsOffice2013ThemeSizerFix is to create a new frame paint manager:
class CCommandBarsOffice2013ThemeSizerFix : public CXTPCommandBarsOffice2013Theme
{
public:
   CCommandBarsOffice2013ThemeSizerFix(void)
   {
      CXTPFramePaintManager *pFramePaintManager = new CXTPFrameThemeOffice2013SizerFix(this);
      SAFE_DELETE(m_pFramePaintManager);
      m_pFramePaintManager = pFramePaintManager;
   }
};
The frame paint manager is degined as:
class CXTPFrameThemeOffice2013SizerFix : public CXTPFrameThemeOffice2013
{
public:
   CXTPFrameThemeOffice2013SizerFix(CXTPPaintManager *pPaintManager);
   virtual CRect CalcFrameBorder(const CXTPCommandBarsFrameHook *pFrameHook) const;
   virtual void DrawFrameBorder(CDC *pDC, CXTPCommandBarsFrameHook *pFrameHook);
};
The trick is to have the CXTPFrameThemeOffice2013 object return a larger frame border.  Since the CXTPFrameThemeModernUI::CalcFrameBorder source code has a 1 pixel frame hard coded (i.e. return CRect(1,1,1,1)), the overridden CalcFrameBorder looks like this:
CRect CXTPFrameThemeOffice2013SizerFix::CalcFrameBorder(const CXTPCommandBarsFrameHook *pFrameHook) const
{
   CRect rc = __super::CalcFrameBorder(pFrameHook);
   if ( rc==CRect(1,1,1,1) )
   {
      int cxSizeFrame = ::GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSIZEFRAME);
      int cySizeFrame = ::GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSIZEFRAME);
      rc = CRect(cxSizeFrame,cySizeFrame,cxSizeFrame,cySizeFrame);
   }
   return rc;
}

The above gives me a slightly wider frame.  Not much but enough to make it usable.  I then have to handle drawing the frame myself in CXTPFrameThemeOffice2013SizerFix::DrawFrameBorder().  I had to make some special consideration for the status bar.  It's not 100% perfect but good enough for now.  Hopefully there will be a better option in the next toolkit release.

I too would like to see a Windows 8 themed ribbon / frame (i.e. Explorer look and feel)

Currently on 16.3.1.

The issue has been fixed. The fix will be available in the next release from today and also in the next beta build.

The release notes of 16.4 beta 2 states for command bars:
  • Thin window borders are made easier to catch and resize using a mouse for resizing

Should that fix this resize problem as well?

I compiled and ran the Ribbon sample and there is still only one pixel to get the resize function when the Office 2013 theme is selected.

Any news about a fix for the Office 2013 theme borders?

Maybe a new release like 16.5 oder 17.0?

Please note that we cannot release with the v1640 where you added the "sticky" behavior on the frame borders. This is simply not possible to work with an application where you capture the cursor and makes it "sticky".

Any update on when this will be fixed? Any new releases coming? We are working towards adding the ribbon to our app, but these bugs and lack of fixes is going to slow down our release schedule.

I'm surprised to see that is still an issue with the new v17 release.  :-(

Codejock has moved away from the "sticky mouse" behavior (which was unusable) by default, but the original problem still remains. Window frame borders are still far too thin to "grab" correctly when using any of the Office 2013 themes.

Yeah, this issue is really hanging us up right now as well. We really want to release with the Office2013 theme, but we can't seem to get the window resizing to work right.

v17 beta 2 has a completely redesigned solution for this problem, no sticky borders, all should work smoothly now. Please test and provide your feedbacks.
