| |

| |
| − | | |
| − | '''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
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Notes'''
| |
| − | 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.

| − | ==Linux==
| |
| − | {{ii}} Most Linux windows managers allow fullscreen applications to natively run under a borderless mode by default.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Another tip that exclusively works on Linux is running your game in a separate X server. This allows you to switch between your game and your desktop using CTRL+Alt+F7/F8 and it increases performance and stability. To do this, edit the launch options for your game on Steam as follows:

| − | {{Fixbox|1=
| |
| − | {{Fixbox/fix|Run Game in New X Server}}
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | xinit %command% :1
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Notes'''
| |
| − | {{ii}} You can also manually launch a non-Steam game by replacing %command% with the path to your game executable.

| |
| − | 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>.
