Window are 0.7mm too low and 0.7mm too far from the sides.

Short answer: It's probably because of the way the frame images are built.

The per pixel frames of skins typically have a shadow area built into the frames around the outsides.  Sometimes the "shadow" is so transparent that it's hard to see.  As a quick test there is a setting in WB's main "Settings" tab that will force WB to use UIS2 frames instead of Per Pixel, it's the 3rd setting down "Do not use per pixel frames even if the style supplies them."  The UIS2 frames normally do not have any transparent outside area built into them.

Disable "Do not use per pixel frames even if the style supplies them" = disable Aero Glass.

I wasn't suggesting it as a fix, I was suggesting you try it to see if the extra space typically included around the per pixel frames is what is causing the extra space you're seeing.

The shadows are indeed why the windows do that. If I remove the shadows from Aero11, they frames line up correctly, but using the shadows function does that. Its not just my theme but all themes that use the shadows area in skin studio. Stardock would need to change how WB11 works to fix that. It is annoying though.
