    It has become freakishly clear by Maxthon that the window frame option is gone for good. I and many others feel cheated by the people at Maxthon by refusing to give us back this feature.

    If they want to release it without the window frame, they will loose many long time users. To keep us happy and to keep us using Maxthon, Go ahead and do what you are doing, but also publish a version for Windows XP that has the window frame option.

    It is bull headed and a bad business practice to ignore so many users of your product. Not just ignore, but to mean mouth them on the Maxthon forum website, saying posts regarding feature this will be deleted.

    I tried the ALT drag little fix to put my file, view, favorites & so on onto the left side of my browser. That was a nightmare, they went right next to the page Forward and back arrows & when I tried to fix that they vanished.

    If the window frame doesn't come back within a month, I am through with using Maxthon for good. I've been a long time fan of the browser but I've had it with the superior attitude I receive when I inquire about things on the Maxthon site.
    Oh, I also noticed that they took away the CPU usage option in the tools.
    Maxthon in total control of the way it uses my CPU, no thanks.

    For the first time, I am disappointed with Maxthon seeing the next minor being in beta for over two months. I wouldn't complain though, its a freeware and all the developers have their own priorities. Will stick to last stable version as for me none other browser has come par with Maxthon yet.
