I think it's for historical reason, people who started to work on that project on windows was QT meanwhile the people who started the linux client was GTK, I'm not sure. And to be honnest, it doesn't really matter in my case. I'm working for the windows client. The look and feel of our clients, have to be as much as possible close to the guidelines. So even if QT was choosen for both OS, I guess the UIs would be a way different... and I would face the same problem. As said I may have found a trick. But I don't want to burn all my time on that part, it's not the most important.

Thx for the discussion.

regards,
Nicolas Jäger

You may want to try and move from a borderless application, to a bordered application that the windows' windows manager can take of all this for you..

Don’t forget, the snap to CAN be turned off by users, and its not always the same. Ie on 10, it will popup other windows next to it, if you go to the corner vs the middle
