I have just started to use WindowChrome Class on a WPF window. I have noticed that when maximizing the window, it displays differently depending on whether I use the standard Chrome or the custom Chrome. Why?
I am double clicking the top of the window to maximize in both cases there is no code behind.
Here is the XAML - to add or remove the WindowChrome I am just deleting the Style property.
<Window

<TextBlock

VerticalAlignment="Top"
Text="This is the new title" />
</Grid>
</Border>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>

<Grid>
<Border BorderBrush="Teal" BorderThickness="5">

</Grid>
</Border>
</Grid>
Not Maximized, Standard Chrome - notice the Teal border
Maximized,Standard Chrome - this is showing the full Teal border fitting into the screen.
With the Window styled with the WindowChrome this is what it looks like not maximized. You see a border from my WindowChrome and the Teal border.
This is what it looks like maximized. My border in the Window Chrome is gone and only about half of the Teal border is there.
I also note that when I look at the Actual Width and Height of the Window when maximized the value is the same. It is just what is displayed is different.
