Borderless Fullscreen

[Ripster]

When the game loses focus in fullscreen it minimizes. Can a borderless fullscreen option be added or at least allow the window to be freely resized so that I can use a script to remove the window border and force it fullscreen on linux?

Set SDL_VIDEO_MINIMIZE_ON_FOCUS_LOSS=0 and it should stop minimizing on alt-tabs. This will also apply for other SDL titles, including those using FNA (like Owlboy).

I have that set but the game goes back into a window when it loses focus. Granted it does regain fullscreen after gaining focus again.

That's by design at the moment, as a "safety" measure:

I haven't gone through all the WMs to check if this is needed anymore, but back when we first wrote this it was required to prevent random breakage. If you want you can self-build FNA with this stuff commented out and replace our FNA.dll, as there aren't any game-specific patches used for Owlboy.

Ah, that worked great! Thank you! :)
