Game settings in preferences.xml

I've found a third-party program called ShiftWindow that was originally written for EVE Online, but will work for WoT. However, the taskbar is still visible, as is a small border along the bottom. I might have to try adding a few vert pixels to the windowed mode resolution in the xml file to get it to work properly, although I'm concerned it might push the top of the window out of visible range. I'll update if anything concrete happens.
It would be a lot more convenient if the game client itself supported a windowed maximized mode natively, but I understand that development time is limited.
Edit: I modified the XML file to set the window height at 1200 instead of 1186, but it keeps forcing itself in-game back to 1186 pixels tall (1920x1186*, I don't know what the asterisk is for), even if the preferences file still says 1200. I tried to outsmart it by adding the 14 pixels it was subtracting from my monitor's height to the total (making the height value 1214 instead of 1200), but the game wouldn't have any of it and continues to force the window height to 1186. I've also tried changing it through the Settings menu in-game, but the same thing keeps happening. Suggestions?
