I'm running two of the same game on two different monitors and it only shows one on the borderless gaming app. It'd be useful if I could make both of them borderless fullscreen.

Hiya,
Tried out Borderless-Gaming today, and it has worked flawlessly so far on pretty much everything except Hearthstone (which is weird anyways) but noticed you can't remove favourites once you've favourited them, a feature I personally would like to see.

1. Minimize - minimize to taskbar and close - minimize to tray. I always close this app accidently. lol
2. Option to hide bubble notifications.

Hi there,
I did some work on this project but thought it might be a good idea to ask before posting a pull-request. I did some massive changes to the project, sadly all in one commit.
Please see the "cleanup"-branch on my fork ( https://github.com/madpew/Borderless-Gaming/tree/cleanup )

Changes in this commit/branch:

• cleaned up and rewrote big portions of the code
• added comments and regions for better code navigation
• removed MainWindow and other unused codefiles (Trace, WindowWrapper...)
• Modified layout to be resizable
• reworked Mainmenu
• changed icons (app and tray) and textbuttons to imagebuttons
• added version to application- & about-window titlebar (pulled from assemblyinfo)
• changed "Owner" -> "Maintainer" on the about-dialog
• changed "Commiters" -> "Contributers" on the about-dialog
• changed link in readme (again) to point to latest version instead of all releases
• pushed version to 5.5 (only in assemblyinfo so running version doesn't want to update just yet)

Please take your time to review my changes. I'd be happy to post an pull-request.

As I doubleclick the BorderlessGaming executable, the thing appears in my tray, with a bubble "Borderless Gaming is minimized.". But after I hover over it, it disappears. I've checked the task manager and there's a process called "Windows Problem Reporting" popping up shortly after the program is started, and then it disappears along with the Borderless Gaming process

Upon launching the app it crashes with no errors. It seems to run for a couple seconds in Windows Task Manager and just disappears. It does show an icon in the task bar for the same amount of time as well. No windows appears either and no error message shows up. I'm not sure where I would find a crash log as nothing shows up in the same directory as the executable.

When I make TW: Rome 2 borderless game resizes alright and takes the full screen as intended, but visual and actual positions of mouse pointer differ - click registered above visual position of pointer.

;-;

also https://github.com/Codeusa/Borderless-Gaming/releases/ would probably be a better link for updates etc

Borderless Gaming v6.0 uses 4-5% CPU every second when inactive on my i7-3770K. It's too much.

Game stretches down for 50 or so pixels whenever i try to make it borderless. It makes some stuff unclickable and makes text stretched too. I need that 50 or so pixels to play the game. : )

Thanks!

The auto start on windows login is not working. I made sure the shortcut is located in the startup folder. I am using Windows 8.1 x64 Enterprise. I also turned off UAC and have no luck.

After launching on the ~7s refreshes the selection will jump to the first entry of the list.
This behaviour changes at some point, but I am not sure which, where the selection is kept across refreshes.

Not sure if its already in the program. But it would be cool if you could add a updater so it can check for updates!
Not sure how to add labels :/

tried it doesnt work would be cool if it did

I already posted about my issue on your steam thread. Using build 4.6 hasn't fixed it so I'd figure I would open an issue here on git.

Using a radeon hd 6850 on Win7 with the latest catalyst drivers. like 11.3 or something
here's a screenshot with 4.6 https://www.dropbox.com/s/cz0vqik81fwmds2/Screenshot%202014-01-13%2021.31.38.png

The main reason I downloaded this was to run Hearthstone which doesnt have a Borderless Fullscreen mode. But the problem is when I use this, it doesnt cover the entire screen.

Windows 7 64bit SP1
Dual Monitors [1680x1050][1920x1080 (main)]

Have run the provided .exe and built it myself in VS2012. Tried Team Fortress 2, Mass Effect 1, and Killing Floor and they remain fullscreen (non-windowed). I added them to favorites and ran them again, still nothing.

In Version 6.0 I had issues with SpaceEngineers hiding behind the taskbar. Is it possible to hide the Taskbar by placing the Window in Front of it with Borderless Gaming?

.

I've made some progress on expanding the window across multiple monitors.

i get 1 instance of this. and the only way to remove it is to change resolution. Ive checked and it definitely only happens when Borderless gaming is running.

Doesn't seem to work on the Steam version of Final Fantasy 7.
Never mind.

Should be a simple addon, enable hotkey support so that one doesn't have to alt+tab out of a game.

This is probably just per game but I am using this on Civilization 5 and I have noticed that when this is applied the cursor that is provided in game by Civilization 5 is not positioned correctly to where the actual selection is taking place on the UI. Its not a bid deal since its only offset by a little but it is a big enough problem to where it is effecting clicking on certain things. Like I said this is probably just an issue with Civ 5 because of their curosr but I'm not sure. I don't really have any other games to test this on that don't already have their own version of Borderless Window.

It would be nice to be able to manually set the resolution (height and width.) I've noticed with other similar applications that there can sometimes be a small white line across the top and left of the screen due to minor miscalculations in window resizing. If we could manually change the screen size per app and have that also saved for the favorite apps this would be very useful.

The app seems to work with Dark Souls 2, but the game retains a grey border around the window that kills the immersion.

Probably a more complicated issue but one that could be possible. Ignore games in standard fullscreen mode and set all others to borderless mode.

I get a warning when I build the program in visual studio ultimate
I do not know if it is significant

I just thought I should mention it.

Can be quite annoying when you go to make a window borderless and it changes focus to the first item on the list just before you hit the button.

While starting Batman Arkham Asylum the game only goes fullscreen once if I close the game and open it again it seems that I need to restart the computer. If I do not restart, the window flashes appears to try to resize/move but ultimately failing leacing the Window bar at top still being displayed and continually attempting every 3 or so seconds. Currently running 6.5

This program works great I only have one suggestion. On multiple monitors my mouse does not lock in the game. So in WC3 when I need to use the mouse to move the screen it will go off game into the second monitor.

Whenever I launch Borderless-Gaming there is nothing in the menu even if I have a game opened.

Hello,

I use the old windowedBorderlessGaming for most games as I have a portrait-landscape-portrait monitor setup. My total resolution is 4960x1600 and use the application to span it across all 3 screens. Since Geforce released their new drivers (334.89) the application no longer works correctly thus I have been searching for an alternative. I came across your application but have tried numerous games with your app to have the game span across all 3 monitors with no success. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Ryan

Worked without any trouble before but after last World of Warplanes it stopped working. Window is not maximized and is "blinking" very about two seconds. Looks like it is trying to switch mode but something is returning it back.

I'm using Borderless Gaming 6.0

It would be nice to see an option to select which monitor the window will go full screen on. I currently use two monitors, and have to close the program and move the window to the second monitor before I can make it borderless windowed.

Edit: Sorry, I have no idea how to tag this as a enhancement.

Version: 6.0
Game: Sleeping Dogs

I've only noticed this issue with Sleeping Dogs, but when setting the .exe as a favorite or manually making the window borderless, there is a white line on the left and top sides of the screen. Almost like the window is off by a pixel.

Not working with red orchestra 2 or rising storm

When I use this program I like to keep the window open while it is running. It would be nice to have this option instead of having to open it from the tray each time it is launched.

I'm trying to play Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance using borderless but it keeps spreading to my other monitors.

When I put Garry's Mod process (hl2.exe) into favorites, it doesn't make it borderless. Even after restarting it.

It might be because it uses another application in tandem to display parts of it. (awesomium_process.exe *32) but this isn't in the list of things to make borderless.

shrug

Would be very helpful to have an option to run on startup. I've tried placing a shortcut in the start-up folder but it doesn't seem to work, and setting the shortcut to run minimised only minimises it to the taskbar, not the system tray.

It would be nice to be able to rename applications. For some games the name that shows up isn't as obvious what the game is. For instance, I'm playing Batman Arkham Asylum but what shows up is "ShippingPC-BmGame" that isn't obvious at first what game that is.

tl;dr this kinda stuff

I have used this on a few games (Grid Auto-sports is one) and i have found that if you have dual monitors and use this, it will put the game in the middle on both screens. i found a way to fix this you can go to task manager and right click on the game and click maximize and it will go to your first screen. i would like to see if you could implement a fix for this or maybe mention this since other people might face this and might not know how to fix this.

Well in Dayz Standalone it works although it makes the resolution 75% (1440x810) and thats it i mean its borderless but its kinda annoying that i can see pixelated u know.. and i have another issue with a game called "Nether" on steam.. It just does not make it borderless it makes it 3/4 full like not borderless it like makes it windowed/borderless kinda idk i will put down a image of what happens.

Here is the problem in Nether:

I run it in windowed I do the thing but it just does not make it borderless for some reason.

Here is the problem in DayZ Standalone:

This is the resolution i get and i cant change it:

This is what happens when i try to change it:

After i press it:

It doesn't actually make the resolution it just redoes it back to 1440x810:

Thats it thats all i got with my issues in games non the less nothing else The Forest is working fine uhmm GTA is working fine and others as well.

The readme has a few things wrong with it
A: the download link says it is outdated, and it looks like after releasing 4.4, you changed it to linking from 4.2 to 4.3. The link the 4.3 release gives goes to the readme, where you have to go to the bottom to get the download. A bit counter intuitive.

B: the need help section is a bit screwed up

If I didn't have a plane to catch in a few hours, I would be willing to fork the repo just to learn how to do it, as almost all of my git experience has been local, on one branch.

Also suggestion on layout:
A: The Borderless-Gaming header with just the quote isn't terribly useful.
B: "What is this?" should probably go first.

Sorry if this isn't being helpful, just what I think could help.

Is anyone able to play these games, while launching them as fullscreen ones? This is almost the only game that I'm having major color problems with. It's windowed mode is unscalable, and doesn't overlap the main windows bar. BorderlessGaming fixes this problem well. However, the game forces it's AA to be disabled, and I cannot even fix it by forcing anti aliasing through my nVidia control panel, that even 32x CSAA is barely recognizable in that game.

So what I'm asking for, is if the program can be made switching the game into borderless windowed, from a fullscreen mode? There is no such option ingame and I cannot even do Alt + Enter. Sadly, I cannot play this game fullscreen, as it's colors are just so washed out and my nVidia control panel colors become ignored in it. All the X3 games by Egosoft are quite similiar, so if one works, the other 2 should aswell

If the user launching the application does not have full/write permissions to the favourites file a thrown exception is displayed in a dialog window.
An end-user-understandable message should be displayed instead.
