| − | ====Fullscreen script====
| |
| − | {{ii}} This script will full screen the currently active window onto your primary monitor with the F12 key
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | F12::
| |
| − | WinGet, WindowID, ID, A
| |
| − | WinSet, Style, -0xC40000, ahk_id %WindowID%
| |

| |

| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | F12::
| |
| − | WinGet, TempWindowID, ID, A

| |

| |
| − | ====Multiple monitors script====
| |
| − | The script can be altered to have the window appear anywhere instead of on your primary monitor. The key is this line:
| |
| − | WinMove, ahk_id %WindowID%, , 0, 0, A_ScreenWidth, A_ScreenHeight
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''0, 0''' are the coordinates of the upper left corner of the window. You can change these to the coordinates of the upper left corner of another monitor. When multiple monitors are present Windows concatenates them all into one virtual desktop. For example, if both of your monitors are 1600x1200 and they are arranged side by side, your virtual desktop is 3200x1200. In this case to have the window appear on your right (secondary) monitor you'd have to change the code to this:
| |
| − | WinMove, ahk_id %WindowID%, , 1600, 0, 1600, 1200
| |
| − | | |
| − | Note that the screen size should be entered manually instead of '''A_ScreenWidth, A_ScreenHeight''' in case your monitors have different resolutions. If you're not sure what the coordinates of the upper left of your screen are, Windows 7 Screen Resolution control panel will tell you when dragging the displays around.

| − | ====Script file====
| |
| − | To make this into an AutoHotkey script file:
| |
| − | * In Windows Explorer, File -> New -> AutoHotkey Script
| |
| − | * Open the newly created file in a text editing program
| |
| − | * Append the code to the end of the file
| |
| − | * Save the file and run it

| − | ===== Background Process Won't Close =====
| |
| − | Appears to keep the [[Fallout: New Vegas]] game process running in the background even if the game has been closed. The game can be shut down properly by going into the [[Task Manager|task manager to kill the task]] <code>FalloutNV.exe</code>.

| − | === ShiftWindow ===
| |
| − | This utility was originally developed by grismar for the EVE Online community. ShiftWindow sets the size and position of any windowed game so that the borders are forced off the screen, giving the appearance of a fullscreen window.

| − | * [http://grismar.net/shiftwindow/ Download ShiftWindow on grismar's website]
| |
| − | | |
| − | # Set a game to display at your display's native resolution and in windowed mode.
| |
| − | # Run ShiftWindow, and trigger it to resize the game window so that the borders overflow off the screen.
| |
| − | | |
| − | A step by step [http://www.shinyhacks.com/2010/08/how-to-play-any-game-in-windowed.html guide to making any game run in borderless fullscreen windowed] is available on [http://www.shinyhacks.com Shiny Hacks].
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== Issues ====
| |
| − | * Incompatible with a number of games that do not allow for their window title bar to be forced off the screen.
| |
| − | * May result in Windows' taskbar displaying over the game window.
| |
| − | ** Tweak for this issue is available called [http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/54842-taskbar-always-top-disable-enable.html DisableTaskbarOnTop], which allows the game to display over the Taskbar.
| |
| − | ** Selecting automatic hide in the taskbar options may also fix this.

| − | ==== i3 tiling wm ====
| |
| − | With i3, simply start the game in windowed mode. Then, move it to a new virtual desktop with the key combo: <shift>-<windows>-<x>, where x is the number of a VT currently unused. After that, switch to the VT using <windows>-<x>, and put the game window into fullscreen mode by pressing <windows>-<f>.
