Is there a way to get rid of window frames?

Question

I don't need a general solution, I just want to get rid of the window frame for PowerShell. For example, this is how my desktop looks now:

And here is what I ideally want:

But under the case that this is impossible, I'll settle for

I assume this will require some pretty funky registry edits or something, or maybe a third-party powershell client. I'm fine with either. Anyone got any ideas?

Answer 1

Take a look at ConEmu. In particular experiment with these settings:

• Appearance / Hide caption always
• Appearance / Scrollbar
• Appearance / Frame width
• Tab bar / Don't show
• Status bar / Show status bar (off)

The screenshot below is what I managed to do. Ignore the icon at the upper right; that is from something else.

Answer 2

for those who have not found a solution yet ,

in your .bat script / cmd environment, you can use an external function called nircmd which includes a whole lot of other features like transparency etc,& Can be called by :

title hello world
nircmd.exe win -style title "hello world" 0x00C00000

nircmd can be downloaded from http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html

Answer 3

For those of you familiar with AutoHotKey, here's the script I used to achieve precisely the same effect as the first screenshot:

;Hide borders, title bar, menu bar and vertical scroll
LWin & LButton::
WinSet, Style, -0xC40000, A
WinSet, Style, +0x40000000, A
WinSet, Style, +0x80000000, A
WinSet, Style, -0x200000, A
Return

;Show borders, title bar, menu bar and vertical scroll
LWin & RButton::
WinSet, Style, +0xC40000, A
WinSet, Style, -0x40000000, A
WinSet, Style, -0x80000000, A
WinSet, Style, +0x200000, A
Return
