I made a theme for ShellWM, but the app is buggy and unusable on Vista. I've started to try to make it as a visual style, but I don't think it's possible. Can anyone knowledgeable confirm this?

As you can see, I would need the column on the left to extend to the top of the titlebar area (which would have to be pushed over 20px). I don't see a way of making the left-side edge that wide or having it extend to the top and bottom areas.

you can extend the border of the explorer frame
and if you want you can us the left side image to the dmw frame top just on the left side
and it will flow together

Okay. Can you extend the border on just one side though?

I tried it in vista style builder and I don't think it's possible. If it is, it's complicated at gaussian proportions. It was simple to make with shellwm. Shame it it's buggy and unusable.

PM sent. Thanks.

[edit] You're on Win7 and this is a Vista style. Sorry. If it's not doable then don't worry about it.
