Hardware
For a list of games, see List of games that support borderless fullscreen windowed.
Key points
- A borderless mode allows any windows to be centered and behave like a fullscreen mode. Set the desired game to run in a Windowed mode first before applying a borderless mode.
- Seamless task switching with no risk of crashes or freezes with a very little loss in performance.
- AMD/ATI cards only support Crossfire in this mode for games using Mantle.[1]

Windows
- Eliminates screen tearing on Windows due to V-Sync being applied over any windows by default.[2]
- Keeps custom color profiles in use.
Borderless Gaming
- Open source and simple to use application.
- Dynamic, adapts easily when switching to a different resolution on another monitor.
- Allows games to lock the mouse to the current window.

GeDoSaTo
- GeDoSaTo and Borderless Gaming can be used together.
- Allows games to be downsampled at any resolution.
- Slightly unintuitive interface.

AutoHotkey
- Games utilizing PunkBuster as an anti-cheat measure may mistakenly treat AutoHotkey as a cheat.
Saving and running AutoHotkey scripts

Fullscreen Toggle Script
- This script will remove any borders and center the currently active window on the primary monitor by pushing F12.

Fullscreen toggle script
- This script will toggle between fullscreen and windowed modes when pressing F12 as well as hiding the taskbar on the fullscreen mode.

Multiple monitors script
- Someone needs to check whenever this explanation for the script is correct or if 0, 0, and A_ScreenWidth/Height mean that the script automatically detects the user's resolution.
- This is a snippet from the Fullscreen toggle script.

Linux
- Most Linux window 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 instance. This allows you to switch between your game and your desktop using Ctrl+Alt+F7 and Ctrl+Alt+F8 (buttons may differ, may be F1 through F12) and it increases performance and stability. To do this, edit the launch options for your game on Steam as follows:

Windows troubleshooting
Game crashes on startup
- Certain borderless applications have to be started before the game itself and not while the game is running.
Window constantly resizes itself
- After applying the borderless mode simply restart the game itself, while keeping the borderless application open.
