Summary	0003037: "Full screen windowed mode" aka "windowed no border" etc
Description	This would make a window with resolution the same as the primary monitor's. This would be just like Valve games "Windowed (no border)" option at native resolution, or World of Warcraft's option to have 'windowed' selected and the 'maximize' option checked Currently, I play in windowed mode and carefully position the window to occupy the main screen, since it starts spanning both monitors at the midpoint of the merged width. It also reverts to this location whenever settings are changed (even just muting music for example) Even on single monitor setups, I prefer this option (only on Vista/7 machines though since windowed mode has the same performance fullscreen) since it vastly reduces alt-tab time, and can allow things to be placed "always on top" if you really want and stay above the game window.

keith.lamothe Mar 10, 2011 7:36 pm administrator ~0011027	Sorry, the underlying engine is not capable of borderless-windowed mode.

HTL2001 Mar 10, 2011 8:06 pm reporter ~0011028	would it at least be possible to fix window placement, or not reset the window position if graphics options were not changed?
