The funny thing is back in Windows 7 and earlier I would tweak my theme to have the thinnest borders possible yet I still didn’t have the whole “where is my window” issue. All those customization options went away starting with Windows 8 when some UI designers decided they knew better than me how my windows should look.
Thanks for those links - I’ll play around with those options to see if I can restore some sanity to my desktop.

...and then of course you have the dummies like this who probably caused these idiotic trends:

The real problem is the lack of configurability. You could change the window border width to anywhere from invisible to some insanely huge number on the older versions of Windows, and everyone would be happy. Now you're forced to use whatever some stupid "designer"'s idea is.
