noWindowControl - option doesn't work?

Recommended Posts

Just updated to Windows 10 and trying to get Maxthon to use the native window control buttons.

 

This option makes me think I can just enable it and it disregard any settings in the skin file relating to what it has set. But there are two issues.

 

1/ if I set the option to 0 or 1 nothing happens. The standard Maxthon buttons return, or the buttons in the skin are enabled.

2/ if i remove all the images etc for the control buttons then I get the standard Maxthon buttons

3/ the skins i've checked have the option listed as noWindowControl, but the documentation states that it should be noWindowControls. Which is correct?

 

Am I misreading this option?

 

Hopefully MX gets updated soon so we get a version that looks better in Win10.

I had ui.dat from 4.4.6.1000 unpacked and it has noWindowControl=1.

 

I think you may be misreading.  Note it is Windows 10 and noWindowControl not noWindowsControl.

 

It seems to be just an internal option in Maxthon between default or skin window controls.

As I found in the few skins I checked, including ui.dat. But from the official documentation v1.1.17 it states:

 

// Hide the Window Control Buttons

// Optional.
// Use this option to remove the Minimize/Maximize/Close buttons.
// Possible Values: 0 (default) or 1
noWindowControls = 0
 

As you can see with an 's'.

 

But the point is, neither option works at least in my testing? So is toggle wrong or am I doing something wrong?

Given the above I don't think I am. Would be nice to get some clarification and have that adjusted in the official documentation if it is indeed wrong.
