Windows 8 - Possible to redefine "full screen"

My wife's Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 2 13" took a ski boot to the exterior of the screen last winter. There's now a black bar across the top of the display that's a little under 1 cm in height. Replacement screens for the Yoga 2 (even used ones) are in the $200 range. Is it possible to tell Windows 8.1 to regard the "full screen" as the entire physical screen minus 1 cm at the top? Presently my wife is using a "sized" rather than "full screen" windows where she needs to see the top of the window. This works, but instructing Windows to simply ignore the top 1 cm of her display would be easier.

Predrag Jovic - Genius. RocketDock worked beautifully. We simply needed something to chew up a portion of the display.

MASQ and John - Thanks for the interesting feedback on the native aspect ratios.
