Border Stripper

Working with a lot of windows on your desktop, regardless of how large your monitor is can easily become a frustrating activity. Chances are you can close, minimize, or change the size of a window by mistake. To avoid this kind of situations, Border Stripper can remove all borders of a window, only leaving content active.

Note that the application is good to go from the moment you downloaded it, skipping you the time and effort otherwise needed to go through a setup process. This ads a great deal of flexibility, since you can carry it around on a thumb drive. For even more comfort, you can assign a hotkey to the desktop shortcut to launch it instantly, regardless of your location.

The main window is split into two sections, making it easy to identify the windows which are still in normal state, and the ones you already stripped of the border. The window title is used, and it’s not difficult to tell which is which.

A border is removed as soon as you move one instance from the normal pane to the stripped section. Windows need to be added one by one, thus minimizing the chances of selecting more by accident.

In case you run new programs in the meantime, there’s a refresh function to make it appear on the list in case the application fails to automatically detect it. The effects is instantly noticeable, since all borders, including the title bar of a window, even for File Explorer get removed.

A borderless window can’t be moved around the desktop, since there’s nothing to grab it by. On the other hand, the application comes with a set of controls to position a selected window in a suitable position. Reverting to default is simply done by placing windows in the normal pane again.

Taking everything into account, Border Stripper is sure to enhance the way you work with multiple windows on your desktop. It prevents them from accidentally being moved, or closed so you don’t lose any data by mistake. Most types of windows are supported, with the process done in real time, making it worth at least a try.
