Is there a way to remove this caption menu?

I'm trying to make a skin with the close button is sitting where the application icon would be. And I have no idea how to get rid of this menu.

I moved the "system" icon away but the button to open the menu is still there. Is there a way to remove this invisible button?

Wow haven't even seen that one before :O Then again, I am using "OldNewExplorer" that makes my OS look different than without...

Hello Taekogae,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Need to know more.

1) Windows version you have on. Please use Winver.exe for full version numbers

2) Windowblinds version you are using.

3) That screenshot too small to know what application was it from? Windows Explorer?

4) And if you are using WB Theme on those, what theme/skin is it?

Thanks

I am on Windows 1809 (17763.720)

Windowblinds latest version (10.82)

Yes this is from Windows Explorer.

Edit: This is also a theme that I created awhile ago and I'm just using it as a base and am changing it to something else.

GIFs of where the button works and where it's covered by that "invisible" system icon menu button.

I actually remembered and searched up a theme that somehow works and doesn't have the issue that I have:

Hello,

Thanks for the fast respond. I somehow used to know how to do it. But I seem can't remember how to do it. Or if it even possible on Windows 10. If that 2of3 theme can still do it. Than I am pretty sure it still can. But right now I don't remember. The fastest way is to get in-touch with 2of3 and ask him. Or others might come down and share their vast know how. I will try out something and let you know if I found out something. Its a Sunday, so it take sometimes.

Thank you,

What I usually do with the system icons which seems to work fine is:

Per pixel frames- I set the position to 0/0 and I set the System Icon Alphas to 0s on the extra settings tab

UIS2 frames- I delete the system icon button

You can try that if you like.

Yes! I deleted the system icon button in UIS2 frames and it works like how I want it to now, thanks.
