Newhotness Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 WindowsXP SP2, using windowblinds with a mac-like look. Anyway here is my question, for as long as i can remember, when i go to maximize CCleaner, it fills almost the whole screen BUT leaves out about the size of a scroll bar on the left side of the screen where i can see whatever is running under it. i have a widescreen laptop. wondering if anyone knows why this is happening and/or how to fix it.

Moderators Andavari Posted January 23, 2006 Moderators Share Posted January 23, 2006 I don't know why it does that, however you can manually size the open window (not maximize), and then position it to fit your screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newhotness Posted January 23, 2006 Author Share Posted January 23, 2006 I don't know why it does that, however you can manually size the open window (not maximize), and then position it to fit your screen. the plot thickens, no i cannot resize it any larger than the max six. i started it up, went out of maximize, then resized it to full screen by dragging the corner (just for clarification on what i did), and it wouldn't let me make it any bigger than the max sized one...how curious?

That does not happen to me - on Windows XP (Pro) SP2. I don't know what windowblinds is; it could be causing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Andavari Posted January 25, 2006 Moderators Share Posted January 25, 2006 I could be wrong, however my guess is it's a limitation of the theme you're using. You could confirm if it is by switching back to a Microsoft theme supplied with the OS to see if the problem really is with the third-party theme or if it isn't.
