For quite some time, borderless window has been gaining popularity for its mixture of a fullscreen application but retaining the windowed features.

In other words, your screen gets filled up just like fullscreen does but you don't get the windows borders. giving a better immersion.

 

To achieve this effect, you only need a software called Autohotkey. It is a harmless, light software designed to execute certain commands from within a .ahk file containing lines of codes.

 

To create this file, open up notepad and insert the following:

^!f::
WinGetTitle, currentWindow, A
IfWinExist %currentWindow%
{
WinSet, Style, ^0xC00000 ; toggle title bar
WinMove, , , 0, 0, 1680, 1050
}
return

 Save as a .ahk extension.

Simply return to your viewer (It works with all of them, as long as it is in windowed mode under your graphics settings) and press ctrl+alt+F

Enjoy your fullscreen\Windowed mode hybrid :)

Quite cool. After you create the script you have to right click and select Run to get it working. You also have to adjust it to your monitor. 

WinMove, , , 0, 0, 1680, 1050 goes to

WinMove, , , 0, 0, 1920, 1080 for my monitor

but I still had a thin border to fix that I did 

WinMove, , , -10, -10, 1700, 1070 so that the border was off the screen.

Also worked on dual monitor setup.
