The tool can center align the text of Windows 10 titlebars , so how to left align the text in Winodws 8/8.1 titlebars ?

Symbols are downloaded, but title bar texts are not centered.

WinCenterTitle version: 1.3.0.0.

Just a report about the question that I mentioned last time , you can close the issue immediately.
The gap was cauesd by AeroGlass from Big Muscle , when I disbale the AeroGlass , the gap disappeared.
So I used your code and set the value to -17
mov rax, -17
ret
And it looks prefectly.
Thanks a lot.
(Sorry for my bad English)

Hello,

I installed WinCenterTitle in a clean W10 Home Edition version 21H1, build 19043.1348.
Unfortunately it seems no task was created in Task Scheduler and when I restarted my PC, the desktop was acting up.
If I kept the mouse button pressed the selection area by dragging the mouse would turn black. This problem begins any time I open a new app.
Eventually I have to restart Explorer because the entire desktop area freaks out.

How do I do to uninstall and revert the changes done? I deleted the WinCenterTitle folder but I still have the same issues.

When dwm is patched and scheduler is running, doesn't matter which msstyle you pick, it will always be white themed.
Here's one example:

Firefox and explorer windows have the correct titlebar color, meanwhile, taskmanager and other win32 apps have it set to white.

Expected behaviour:
Titlebar being dark when darkmode is enabled

edit: i have double checked the msstyle theme atlas and properties with WSB and couldn't find any relation between them and the mentioned issue.

edit²: Not sure if that information helps, but applying the theme with firefox window open makes it use dark variant, but not taskmanager and others.

Currently in windows of programs were buttons are placed on the title bar the window title is not centered.
Is this intended or is this a bug?

Example 1 (Windows Live Photo Gallery 2012):

Left: Window from Photo Gallery without "In-Title-Bar-Buttons".
Right: Window from Photo Gallery with "In-Title-Bar-Buttons".

Example 2 (Windows Live Writer 2012):

Hi there, I'm sorry to be "that guy" but I've followed all your directions carefully and still can't get the app to hook successfully. I installed it to C:\WinCenterTitle, and made the owner of the folder the "Administrators" account and gave full permissions to "Users". Nevertheless, executing the exe in an admin Command Prompt yields the following:
Version of Win10: 19042.1586

WinCenterTitle

but defietly not Settings!

Hey, you can close this issue immediately.
Just wanted to say thank you!! This is really what I wanted to center the title of websites on Firefox titlebar. :)

Your work on the glass branch of this project specifically is amazing so far, and I can't wait to see it when it has been fully developed. However, your last commit to it has been in November 2020, and I am worried that you have given up working on it, which would be a shame, as it is the only way to get Aero Glass on Windows 10 2004+ discounting Stardock which is paywalled. Also, a few small bug reports: DWM opens as a console window, closing it just restarts DWM and the console window, and title text has an opaque white background on most windows. Asides from that, there are only minor issues which are due to it not being fully developed yet. You should also really consider making the glass branch into its own project, which would make it more visible when people search for « Aero Glass for Windows 10 » on search engines. I only found about this by searching for something which would give me centered title text (which it does excellently), and then seeing the issue where someone was asking for left-aligned text, which showed me the Aero Glass they had which led me to find out about the glass branch. Please make this is a separate project so more people know about this, please… and please continue work on it, it would be very much appreciated.

I run this application on my Windows 10 20H2, following https://github.com/valinet/WinCenterTitle#installation. But I get a Cannot get handle to application error message.

I run this exe in an administrated cmd. And the permissions of the WinCenterTitle and symbols folders are also set as Installation said. And the Command key in xml file is also modified.

Make sure folder owner is set to Administrators and that the Users group is added as well, with default permissions (Read & execute, List folder contents, and Read)

WinCenterTitle.exe /xml WinCenterTitle.xml
WinCenterTitle

It's just run some time.then close

My OS is 20H2, WinCenterTitle run well until Windows updated to 19042.985 (KB5003173).

Now WinCenterTitle failed to run with error code 0x100. What is the cause of the issue?

I've try the method in another issue which title is released by Ygjsz. But during my tries, the way which can left the 8.1 title bar does not work in 9200. So can you study how to left the title bar in 9200? Thank you.

I'm using a custom theme, and I think it looks better without the aero.msstyles behavior.

why not work on insider preview win 11 can you help me ?

Hi. There's issue in title text on inactive title bar. The inactive title text showing white opaque background regardless using WinCenterTitle.exe or WinCenterTitle_nonAero.exe. I using Windows 10 Home version 20H2 OS Build 19042.572 and i using custom theme patched with Universal UXThemePatcher.

I have attached the preview of this issue.

Thank you for your attention.

Title's text becomes blurry after applying WinCenterTitle. You will notice it if the Title's text is long enough.

Before:

After:

The center of the text is NOT blurry. The farther from the center, the text becomes more blurry.

Sorry for disturbing you again.
I found an another problem.
There's a little gap between the program icon and the text. And how to move the text closer to the program icon just like Windows 7 ?

when running version 1.3, getting the follow error message with screenshot:

when running anything pre 1.3, no such error message but title does not center even after restarting computer. also checked to make sure task scheduler is running the the correct exe path properly each time and still no luck

It would be nicer if UWP apps' Title can also be center aligned.

Since my system is amd64 (x64), I don't test the application on neither IA-32 (x86), nor arm64. If someone could report whether it works for them on x86, that'd be greatly appreciated. When I say x86, I mean running on a true 32-bit system, not under WOW64 (it probably won't run there, since dwm is still 64-bit when running as x86 under WOW64, and so addresses will probably turn up bad). Please report on an a build of the application against the latest commits and source, there are some updates which haven't made it to release yet (mention the commit you compiled against in the comments, please).

Thank you.

In Win8/8.1, this text was also centred (between the actual ribbon and the right hand side of the window, so not centred in relation to the entire title bar).

Attempting to run 1.2.0.0 in the 1809 version of Windows results in the title text not budging, however symbols are still downloaded. Folder permissions are correct. Trying to run this in a 20H2 VM works fine. 1.1.0.0 also works fine.
Kinda not surprised about this, so it's up to you if you want to add in compatibility. Would give more info if there was a log feature.
