Borderless Gaming News

[h2]Fixes[/h2]

• Fixed timing issues in the windowing engine - games like Dishonored now work properly (use Custom Size or No Change in profile settings for best results)
  
  
• Various minor bug fixes and stability improvements
  

[h2]New: SDL_NoFrame Proxy[/h2]

Some older SDL 1.2 based games (like M.U.G.E.N) don't support being converted to borderless windows through normal means. For these stubborn cases, I've created SDL_NoFrame - a proxy library that forces SDL 1.2 games to run borderless natively.

Get it here: https://github.com/andrewmd5/SDL_NoFrame

Only use SDL_NoFrame if Borderless Gaming can't make the SDL 1.2 game borderless on its own. Once SDL_NoFrame has made the game borderless, you can use Borderless Gaming to make it fullscreen.

This completely overhauls how Borderless Gaming handles windows, fixing issues with applications that have multiple windows.

[h2]Major Changes[/h2]

• Multi-Window Support: Borderless Gaming now properly detects and manages ALL windows for each process, not just one. This fixes issues with applications that have both console and main windows, or multiple game windows
  
  
• Improved Window Matching: Profiles now correctly match and apply to specific windows rather than just the first window that has the heuristics of the 'main window' found for a process
  
  
• Better SDL Support: Added special handling for SDL windows which require different flags to properly update when made borderless
  

[h2]Fixes[/h2]

• Fixed window detection for applications with multiple windows (console + main window)
  
  
• Fixed profiles not applying to the correct window when multiple windows exist
  
  
• Fixed window restoration issues with certain game engines
  
  
• Improved retry logic with exponential backoff
  
  
• Fixed various edge cases with window state detection
  

[h2]Technical Note[/h2]

This update properly aggregates all windows under each process and lets the matching engine select the correct one based on your profile settings. If you had issues with games showing up twice or profiles applying to the wrong window, this update should resolve those problems.

[h2]New Features[/h2]

• Preserve Aspect Ratio: New profile option to maintain the original aspect ratio when going fullscreen or resizing windows. This fixes stretching issues in games like The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky - Preserve Client Area and Preserve Aspect Ratio are now mutually exclusive options
  
  
  
• Automatic Re-application: Borderless Gaming now detects when a game resets its window state (common after cutscenes or resolution changes) and automatically re-applies your profile. This fixes issues with games like Lucky Tower Ultimate

Quick patch to address a few issues from 1.0.1.

[h2]Changes[/h2]

• Borderless windows created by Borderless Gaming can now be minimized properly
  
  
• Area selector now handles edge cases better (extreme values, multi-monitor setups)
  
  
• Improved error handling for startup task creation and efficiency mode
  

[h2]Fixes[/h2]

• Fixed crash when toggling efficiency mode on certain systems
  
  
• Fixed potential overflow errors when using area selector with large displays
  
  

This is a stability patch - no major feature changes.

I apologize for breaking your workflows in 1.0.0. This update addresses those issues.

[h2]Changes[/h2]

• Apps that are already borderless or in exclusive fullscreen now appear in the app list
  
  
• Profiles can now execute on apps that are already borderless or in exclusive fullscreen, allowing you to move/position any window
  
  
• Dialed back the app list filtering that was too aggressive
  
  
• When disabling a profile, windows are now restored to their pre-borderless state (only applies to windows made borderless by that profile)
  
  
• If you only want window management features in your profiles, uncheck the "Make Borderless" option
  

[h2]Fixes[/h2]

• Increased fullscreen detection tolerance to prevent false positives
  
  
• Fixed window state storage and restoration logic
  
  
• Updated process ignore list with missing system processes
  

Sorry again for the disruption. This should restore the behavior you're used to while keeping the new 1.0 features.
