Disable window decorations in the Mac Driver

The heuristics that Wine uses to decide whether or not to trim off the edges of windows and replace them with the platform-native window decorations are imperfect. The Mac driver, like the X11 driver, has a registry setting to turn off window decorations for situations like this. Unfortunately, the Mac driver's setting can't be controlled using winecfg. You have to set it using regedit:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Wine/Mac Driver/Decorated and set the key value to N.

If you need help editing the registry check out this guide.

Getting Around

CodeWeavers

We're rebels. We're misfits. But mostly, we're software liberators. And we're very, very good at what we do. We have to be. Lots of developers work with open source, but only a tiny fraction of those are good enough to get software that was designed for one platform to work on another one. We invented CrossOver software - a unique approach to cross-platform compatibility that does not require dual-boot or another OS license. We launched PortJump to help app and game developers broaden their market beyond Windows® users. And we launched ExecMode to help organizations solve really ugly technical challenges.
