improving windowed mode by re-colouring frames, titles etc. to make window "invisible"

After years of using FS9 and recently FSX (DirectX 9) in full screen mode, I have found that FSX in Direct 10 preview works quite well, as long as I stay in windowed mode. I am running a three monitor setup with one monitor for the VC (with the borderless tool) and two additional monitors for 2D panels which I undock and drag over to the other two monitors.

 

I would like to make the frames of these 2D panel windows "invisible" by changing the colour of the window frames, titles etc. to the same colour as the monitor's desktop BMP. I have found several how-tos on the net, but none of them makes the colors change, they always stick.

 

I know this is a flightsim forum, but I thought I would post here as I am surely not the first one to come up with this idea, and others might have solved this.

 

Best,

Holger
