Is there a way to get rid of window frames?












0















I don't need a general solution, I just want to get rid of the window frame for PowerShell. For example, this is how my desktop looks now:



enter image description here



And here is what I ideally want:



enter image description here



But under the case that this is impossible, I'll settle for



enter image description here



I assume this will require some pretty funky registry edits or something, or maybe a third-party powershell client. I'm fine with either. Anyone got any ideas?

  • Can you modify powershell.exe to this behavior, no, you can integrate power shell console in your own console application where you have complete control over the GUI.

    Now now, let's not jump to "make it yourself" yet. See this: superuser.com/questions/38687/… for an AHK script that may be useful to you.

Take a look at ConEmu. In particular experiment with these settings:




  • Appearance / Hide caption always

  • Appearance / Scrollbar

  • Appearance / Frame width

  • Tab bar / Don't show

  • Status bar / Show status bar (off)


The screenshot below is what I managed to do. Ignore the icon at the upper right; that is from something else.

  • This is exactly what I want, but I doubt this will start at startup and have the changes persist, correct? Also, does it provide functionality to be able to move a window despite having no title bar?

  • @jphollowed, this is not the powershell.exe console. It is its own thing. Yes, its settings will persist. I don't know about moving. You might have to leave the title bar or tab bar on. Anyway, you can experiment yourself.

  • Well I've tried it out and I quite like it, but I turned off the title bar and everything and now I cannot get back to the settings or move the window or anything! Would you happen to know some shortcuts to open the menus?

  • @jphollowed, the keyboard shortcuts are here. Main web site here. Win+Alt+P to show the settings. You can drag the window with Ctrl+Alt+LeftMouseButton.

for those who have not found a solution yet ,



in your .bat script / cmd environment, you can use an external function called nircmd which includes a whole lot of other features like transparency etc,& Can be called by :



title hello world
nircmd.exe win -style title "hello world" 0x00C00000


nircmd can be downloaded from http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html
