I'm using WindowChrome, and customising the border and the title bar of my application, and it works fine for the most part:
However, for some reason when I run on a certain Virtual Machine (in this case, a German language one using VMware), a white border and title bar (though with no title) appears, and covers my custom title bar:
The odd thing is that I have tried inspecting the application using Snoop, and even on the VM, Snoop does not seem to acknowledge this bar exists. e.g. hovering over the different WPF components, and if I use Snoop's "magnify" function, the title bar appears correctly!
Where could this title bar be coming from and how to get rid of it?
Here is XAML code for a simple application that exhibits the same problem:
<Window x:Class="XamlMessing.MainWindow"

</Style>
</Window.Resources>
<Window.Style>
<StaticResource ResourceKey="MyWindowStyle"/>
</Window.Style>
<Grid Margin="0,0,81,107">
<TextBlock HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="125,89,0,0" TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="Hello, World" VerticalAlignment="Top" Height="61" Width="175" FontSize="24" Foreground="#FFDAE463"/>
</Grid>
</Window>
OK it seems to be fixed by setting...
But I would still be interested to know what was causing it to appear in the first place, since that setting wasn't required on devices other than the VM...
