Classic Maximized Windows Fix

Fixes the window borders on classic theme windows when DWM is active from spilling over to other monitors.

It occurred with DWM on because DWM is only compatible with manual window clipping via SetWindowRgn, like UxTheme uses, and not the special override that Win32k applies for rendering maximized windows with default (classic) frames. This simply makes all windows use classic theme frames.

Command Prompt windows will still not be properly clipped, however this issue already happened on older versions of Windows. Technically, there is a timing issue with Windhawk injecting into console windows, so rarely they may be affected. For consistency, I manually excluded conhost.exe.

Known problems

  • This will not work correctly without the classic theme. Whenever a window would be maximized, its frame would change to the classic frames (this is a special behaviour implemented in UxTheme for compatibility with historical use of this function), and hittesting would not work correctly on the new classic frames, which would interfere with UX quite a lot I think.
