Yeah, that’s correct. In windows 7 by going to "Advanced appearance settings" we were able to increase/decrease the windows padding but there is no such option provided in windows 8. Hence you will need to make a small change in one of the registry key as mentioned below:
- Go to Start > type REGEDIT > press Enter
- Now navigate to the following key in the registry:
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics
- On the right pane you will see keys named BorderWidth and PaddedBorderWidth.
- Double click and change their values from -15 to 0 and -60 to 0
- Exit the registry.
Better restart the windows to effect the changes. That’s it.
