Change Windows 8 Window Border Size

This is a neat little tip for people who do not like Windows 8’s gargantuan Window borders.  In previous versions of Windows (Vista and 7), this was easily accomplished through the advanced appearance options under personalization.  Unfortunately, this is gone in Windows 8, leaving a LOT of the customization features of the OS hidden from view.  Until now the only way to tweak the border size in Windows 8 was to do it via the registry.

Fortunately for all of us, a kind Happy Bulldozer (seriously this is what the guy calls himself), wrote a small app called Tiny Window Borders.  This app lets you set your desired border size with a nice little slider, and then you simply log off and back on to see the change (or just restart explorer.exe).  This app is great for people who don’t want to delve into the registry for something that really should be an exposed option anyway.  So without further ado, click the link below to head over to winaero and download this nifty little utility.
