  11. VS 2017 Can you code to launch an application without the complete .exe name?

    VS 2017 Re: Is it possible to color the top bar?

    A lot of programs don't have a white bar at the top, actually seems like no bar at all.

    If you can't color the bar to match your window, is it then possible to eliminate the bar?
