Removing border / gutter around window when maximized?

[qskousen]

When a window is maximized, it has padding around it where it doesn't go all the way to the edge of the screen, as seen here in the demo app:

I'm sure this is an intentional design choice, but is it possible to disable this in some situations? I thought maybe the window "Padding" property would change it, but it doesn't seem to do so.

Hi @qskousen

Thank you for pointing this out.
When I started this project, I thought this border is better to be shown on maximize.😂. Anyway, after observing other apps, this is best to be remove.

I see that this is this code here in Window.axaml.cs:OnWindowStateChanged:

case WindowState.Maximized:
                ToggleMaxButtonVisibility(CanMaximize);
                Margin = new Thickness(7);
                break;

If I am correct, this whole function (and references to it) can be removed, and there will be no more of that margin. Would it be alright if I made a PR for that?

Edit: I did try out just that and it seems to work correctly with the demo app. I am guessing in this case the style for the border width to jump to 2 when maximized in Window.axaml can be removed as well?

Sure. Feel free to create a PR for this
