OK guys, why would you randomly hijack this thread to push your point about unrelated subjects ?
Find a more relevant thread or start your own !
Working here:
Yet again I never use this because I find having a second monitor is much more convenient.
Why are you picking on me, i was replying to your question 
Anyway, if you havenât figured it out, your request is impossible because of the way Windows OS handles child windows.
Best suggestion came from @Quan_Li with pOd_gh
You have two rhino windows opened, maybe?
Works also on Rhino 8 on Windows 10.
But that is not a solution, because resizing whole Rhino 8 UI means having small viewports.
(youâll always have the layer/etc docked ui elements pushed to the left, side by side with GH⌠no good)
MAYBE, if GH could âdockâ like layers and properties tabs, it could be another section of the many other docked UI elements on rhino.
Anyway, this seems it would create more problems than solutionsâŚ
I use grasshopper extensively and I put my GH window to the right, with its left border being somewhat coincident with the right border of the viewports. Just thatâŚ
I find that when you work with two monitors, either they are centered and you have the two neighboring bezels in front of you which is silly, or you have a centered monitor and the other is oooover theeeere, forcing you to twist your neck Ă la âThe exorcistâ.
For all these reasons, I enjoy working with my wide screen.

Ahaaa!!! Not true with the new âHide side barsâ buttons in V8 (at the lower left and right).
âŚand with my wide screen, I never really run out of space. My only issue is the damn splitting/sliding that I am not able to acheive.
I am on a 1920x1200 and I too, feel never to run out of space.
I think there are problems with much more priority than to mess up again the UI.
Letâs push those problems to Rhino 10 or later, please 
That collapse my layer/properties tab but also the command buttons i have on the right: unusable for me.
I am not asking to âmess upâ anything.
Iâd just like GH to behave like any window in Windows.
Then, it becomes up to the user to do whatever he pretty well pleases.

No, its the single Rhino window. It works.
Lol that is a WIDE screen!
Mine is like this, the rotation is not too bad, at least for my neck, just a small tilt.
Thatâs strange, on my machine i can put the windows side by side but i donât get that resizing bar inbetween

OK, somethingâs going on here.
I wish a McNeelian would step in and explain why this works only for some of usâŚ
@osuire I do not get the vertical slider either and I have Windows 11 Pro with the latest updates as well.
This is interestingâŚ
Have any of the âmagic barâ folks changed anything here (System>Multitasking):
Windows Version:
| Edition | Windows 11 Pro |
|---|---|
| Version | 23H2 |
| Installed on | â12/â27/â2022 |
| OS build | 22631.3447 |
| Experience | Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22688.1000.0 |
EDIT:
It says that this is now default behavior according to this link:
https://changewindows.org/platforms/pc/releases/windows-11-2022-update
EDIT2:
The âmagic barâ shows up when splitting Rhino and the Script Editor but not Rhino and Grasshopper for me.
Therefore itâs not a Windows issue but most likely something with Grasshopper or possibly Rhino Release Candidate Versions?

Exactly.
The GH window can be tiled using the Win11 auto-tiling gadgets, but itâs the only one that ignores the âMagic barâ.
I have no insights or advice, but itâs probably because Grasshopper is not an application window, it is a child window of the Rhino application. Win OS treats child windows differently, but Iâm not familiar with the rules and how they might differ between various OS versions and flavours.

I wrote a test command years ago that may be what some users have unknowingly turned on for this feature and forgot about it. The test command is TestGrasshopperWindowStyle and it adjusts how the GH window behaves.

It works !
How great! That did the trick, thank you @stevebaer and @DavidRutten .
@stevebaer any reasons this should not be default behavior on windows moving forward?

No this window behavior, common to all other software on the planet needs to be tested in Rhino a few years hence, using an obscure test command.
Come on, donât you know how it works around here yet ?
