Borderless Windows

[TheFlyingPhoton]

I prefer to play in Windowed mode, but I can only set it to borderless. All of my google results tell me it's under "Resolution," but all that does is change the resolution. Above that, my only options are to "Go Fullscreen" or "Go Windowed." I can't seem to switch between Bordered Windows and Bordeless Windows.

The borderless window option doesn't show underneath the resolution for you?

The main menu won't change my video settings at all.
The in-game settings menu doesn't give the borderless on/off option

That's odd, I don't know what might be causing that. Maybe verify the integrity of the game files?
In the meantime, you should be able to edit the setting through the config file.

Navigate to:
/Documents/My Games/Terraria/config.json

Use any text editor to open the JSON file and look for/edit the "Fullscreen" and "WindowBorderless" keys.

For borderless-windowed mode:

"Fullscreen": false,
"WindowBorderless": true,

For regular windowed mode:

"Fullscreen": false,
"WindowBorderless": false,

For fullscreen:

"Fullscreen": true,
"WindowBorderless": true/false, (doesn't matter in this case)

I know I'm like a year and a half late, but just for clarity for anyone looking at this later, you find the borderless window setting in the main menu of the game. In other words, you can't access it while inside of a world or playing the game. I just found this out myself and thought I'd try to help out.

The options, when using tModLoader, is kinda burried away.
You have to seek for your TML's config.json.
Usually at documents - my games - terraria (at least on GOG version).

Open up the config.json with any editor you like and seek for these parameters:
Fullscreen, WindowMaximized and WindowBorderless.

By setting those with the values as followed:
"Fullscreen": false,
"WindowMaximized": true,
"WindowBorderless": true,
you will gain a full borderless window form.
Also consider double checking your width and height, as sometimes, the window will subtract the taskbar and whatnot from the 100% total v/h size.

"DisplayWidth": 2560,
"DisplayHeight": 1440,
In my case for a 2K resolution.
