Hi everyone! This subject has likely been approached already, however I wanted to share my fullscreen-windowed solution as some of you may find this useful. By using the wonderful AutoHotkey and a few lines of code that I found online and wish I remembered where so I can actually give credit where it is due (whoever you are thanks for this!)... ...this script will work on pretty much any game that has the option to run in a window. EDIT : Somehow I forgot to mention that this is mainly for those of us who have multi-monitor setup, as Alt-Tabbing is not fun! The script should make anything windowed to the size of your current desktop resolution, I have only tested this in 1920 x 1080 though. To use this, please set the game settings as show in image above and then download Full_Screen_Any_Windowed_Game.exe (Understandable dubiousness for home-made executables can hopefully be dispelled with these virus check results, I'm here to help, not hinder ) https://virusscan.jotti.org/en-GB/filescanjob/usx04d2w1i https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/462693d7a5329c9cd2ba5d918b89c13cbc0d4868d38b8117c7a621a67918b43f/analysis/1472684261/ Once downloaded, run Full_Screen_Any_Windowed_Game.exe and then load up Dark Mod. Once running in a window, simply press Ctrl+F11 to make it borderless fullscreen! Press Ctrl+F12 to return to a window again! To exit the script, right-click the taskbar icon and choose "Exit". >> You should make certain that Dark Mod is the active window before using the shortcuts! << It is possible to Ctrl+F12 your desktop into a window, which is actually quite fun/weird to experience, you can always Ctrl+F11 it back to normal though! You can also attempt to fullscreen things like Windows Calculator or the Taskbar for wacky results! The entire script is literally this: #SingleInstance force #Persistent ^F11:: SetFull: { WinSet, Style, -0xC40000, A WinMove, A, , 0, 0, %A_ScreenWidth%, %A_ScreenHeight% Return } ^F12:: SetWindow: { WinSet, Style, +0xC40000, A Return } If you still do not want to run the executable provided, you can download and install AutoHotkey, copy the script above exactly and then save it to a "newscriptnamegoeshere.ahk" then run that instead. Another thing to note for nVidia users: and I didn't realise this for years... but when you run certain games in a window the colours can be restricted! To solve this open your nVidia control panel and observe the image below. This will allow the full colour range and will no longer be a "musty grey" so that the dark shadows have proper gamma! I hope that you find this as useful as I did! Please let me know if this doesn't work for any reason and I will be more than happy to help! Happy borderless fullscreen-windowed thieving!
