How to create WPF window with exact pixel size?

I try to display a window in my application exactly in specified rectangle:

Left = 0, Top = 0, Width = 1920, Height = 240.

It seems to have left and right margin. And a bottom margin. Looks roughly like 8 pixels. Like the system refused to place the window where I told it to by specifying Left, Top, Width and Height properties.

However when I set WindowStyle to None and AllowsTransparency to True- it behaves properly.

But I don't need and I don't want borderless windows, I need normal system windows, but placed correctly. How to achieve it?

If the margins are the part of Windows UI and can't be removed - how to determine their sizes to take into account when placing windows?

I'm testing it with Windows 10 on desktop computer.

It's cause there is no design border in windows 10 like windows 7. Use below code to set the Left property:

Left = 0 - SystemParameters.ResizeFrameVerticalBorderWidth - SystemParameters.FixedFrameVerticalBorderWidth;

your window's position will be right after this. Top should be already OK. Set Width equal to SystemParameters.WorkArea.Widththen there should be no margin to Right.
