Borderless Window Mode <3

Aezay

<b>Description:</b>
Being a huge fan of borderless window mode, it's of course one of those features I really miss in NS2.

I decided to do something about the lack of this feature, so I created a small script (in a personal script editor),
but since I wanted to share this feature, I compiled a small program to do this instead.

<b>Instructions:</b>
- Start Natural Selection 2 up.
- Make sure it's running in window mode.
- Execute the "ns2noborder.exe" file.
- Optional: Create a shortcut for this file, to allow a keyboard shortcut.

Or you use shiftwindow, works for every programm.

Sample image of the programm interface: <a href="http://www.grismar.net/shiftwindow/shot.gif" target="_blank">http://www.grismar.net/shiftwindow/shot.gif</a>

Does the same, with more features to play with.

Just Grab the window Title(under the window selection) and press Trigger it.

As Koruyo said, there's already a program that lets us do this, but +rep for doing this anyways. Now if you could figure out how to do this in the NS2 lua and submit it to UWE, that would really be awesome.

Now that you mention that program, I actually remember someone posting about it before.

Only took a few minutes to make this, so didn't spent too much time for nothing.

I'll leave it here in case anyone prefer my version ;)

I posted it on getsetisfaction a while(few months) ago, maybe also the forums dunno. :)
