 As a recent convert to Chrome, I'm still struggling to get used to their ridiculous (but predictable given their 'we know best' attitude) decision to trample over the UI guidelines of whatever OS they running on. On the one hand, this means AWM doesn't actually work well at all with Chrome (on XP, anyway) once you get a few tabs open, as it has no 'titlebar' to speak of.

But given the ranting that's going on like this, if AWM could do even such a simple thing as adding an actual titlebar (maybe a new product in there for disaffected Chrome users?) to Chrome, it would save lots of problems.

I guess the snags would be around how deeply hooked into the WM_NC_PAINT and stuff Chrome is to do what it does. But, if you were able to offer that feature, there'd be plenty of Chrome users (particularly those who have a top-of-screen dock like Rocketdock, or virtual terminals where the top of the screen is a panel, etc.) who would jump on it.

So, any chance of doing something like that?

Thanks,

David.

 Hello David.

Have you tried to use the restrict placement feature? It seems to be able to keep the chrome tabs from overlapping.

Best regards.
