Hey all, i prefer my games to be windowed for alt/tab but i also prefer my games to look full screen, i know there's allot of "scripts" out there for specific games but i figured id write up one app to enable it for all my games.

You can download it here


if you find this app useful feel free to give rep.

=====INSTRUCTIONS=====

Adding a game's window.
  1. Run the app and start up a game.
  2. Make sure you run the game in windowed mode before adding it to the app.
  3. After you have set your game to run windowed, click the app's tray icon and select "Add window"
  4. Go back to your game and while the game window is active press "F3"
  5. Your game should now be in windowed border-less mode, your settings are saved so the app will recognize your game whenever it runs in windowed mode again and automatically set it to be borderless.

Forcing borderless window.
In addition to automatically setting your games borderless you can also trigger this action by pressing F4 while ingame.

Removing a game
  1. Click the app's tray icon and select "Open game settings"
  2. select the game and press Delete, this app no longer manages that games window style.

Setting a windows position
By default the borderless window is positioned at coordinates 0,0 on your screen, in the rare event that the game's window is an odd one you can edit the coordinates in the config file by changing the "PosX" and "PosY" values in the Game settings.

Attempting to re-size a window
By default the game doesn't re-size, but in case its necessary you can do so in the game settings, which can be found by clicking on the tray icon.
In most cases it is advisable to use your native resolution.

DXWnd instructions
This app detects DXWnd if a DXWnd folder is in the same folder as this app's exe.
You can download my simplified version of DXWnd here or get a advanced version maintained by ghotik here
If you downloaded my version just extract the contents to the same directory as WindowedBorderlessGaming.
If you downloaded the other version create a folder called DXWnd 1st and then extract the files there.

======================
1.1.1.3
* In addition to automatically setting your games borderless you can also trigger this action by pressing F4 while in-game.
* Included basic version of DXWnd into the package, you can also use a advanced version by ghotik that you can find here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/dxwn...atest%20build/

________
1.1
* App now needs even less memory.
* There is now a proper settings menu, so you can edit your game settings and apply them without restarting the game. (The config file is still available for whoever wants to do it manual) Settings are launched as a separate process to not increase need for resources.
* Config file is written more tidy to increase reading/writing actions speed for those who have a huge list of games added to it.
* When selecting "Add window" it will time out after 15 seconds in case you chose the option by accident.

======================

This app was made and tested on Win7 pro x64 and is meant to work on Windows XP or higher. on both 32 and 64 bit.
