Windows 10 Pro, 22H2
Build 19045.4894
Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19060.1000.0
Thanks Zak, yes the 2 windows are meant to be there just for testing out how dragging the borders interact with each other (to make sure everything is working correctly). The snapping is Window's Aero snapping so when you drag a window to the left/right of the screen and Window's makes it fill half of the screen and then you choose another window to fill the other half etc.. (you migh have this turned off though - a lot of people do)

What's the rendering performance like Zach? it should be silky smooth, are there any graphical glitches? (a good example is try resizing a browser window there will be white flickering bands or jittering at the extremities etc..), try resizing from the the top left corner. Is the mouse cursor resize logic behaving correctly? (is it indistinguishable from a native window), thanks buddy!

This is how it runs on my 11 year old integrated GFX laptop: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/A6ypa2AkbR8

Have you tried Aero snapping Idle on Windows 11?

Try having an elevated process in the foreground, does the resizing behave correctly?

It's working as expected, snapping the windows and I see no problems with running an elevated process in foreground.
I tried with notepad run as admin. It looks native, it just doesn't have rounded corners.

The rendering performance seems good here. No issues with it.

Regarding the snapping, I can get it to do its thing when dragging it to the top or bottom relatively easily, but on the side I seem to have to drag most of the window over the edge before it will do anything. However I also run a triple screen setup with extended desktop so that may be coming in to play there.

Thanks that's good to hear, it's using the Windows 10 skin at the moment but rounded corners for 11 is easy.
