The work around seems to be broken in the latest version of AIR (2.0.2). A white 1 pixel border shows on dynamically created non-transparent windows that are maximized on Windows 7.

Hi, you're talking about non-transparent windows but i'm worling with a transparent one and a custom chrome and i'm having similar problems.

Since the window is move to -4,-4 (-8,-8) and sized to compensate some of the chrome is cut off.
First it's not looking great but the bigger problem is it's not actually cut off, it's just outside of the screen so if you bring mutliple screens you can see the borders of your chrome on those (you can see it behind windows 7 taskbar wich is transparent too).

For the moment the only solution i see is creating a custom maximize/restore capability and thuse loosing the native system one.

A maximized window already takes into account the visibleBounds.

This is an onResize event listener and uses the afterBounds property. No additional calculation required. My code is fully tested on all platforms.

Take care, you're workaround doesn't deal with the taskbar size (width or height depending on the user configuration).
So need to add in the calculation some of the Screen.mainScreen.visibleBounds properties.
