Update: Some games also use a 0x40000 'ThickFrame' style, which the script wasn't removing until now. Simply append this to the previous script to enable the hotkey Control+ Alt+ g. WinSet, Style, -0x40000 hide thickframe/sizebox WinSet, Style, -0x400000 hide dialog frame WinSet, Style, -0x800000 hide thin-line border In that case, I have another hotkey that is a bit more forceful. While the hotkey works on many games that I've played, some games are stubborn and don't want the window border removed. It even toggles back and forth if you press the hotkey again. Press the hotkey and bam! Maximized Fullscreen goodness. Also change '1920, 1080' to whatever your resolution is. Note that you'll need to have your game in windowed mode, set to your desktop's resolution.

Right click on your new script and use Run as Administrator.

Copy the script to a text file and name it something like MaxFull.ahk.

If you wanted to use this script, all you'd need to do is: It applies changes to whatever window has focus.

The hotkey this creates is Control+ Alt+ f. WinSet, Style, ^0xC00000 toggle title bar The script removes the window border and title bar of any window, and moves the window so that it fills the screen: ^!f:: I have a simple AutoHotkey script that will force this mode for me. For the games that don't, is there a way I can force this mode? Unfortunately most games don't seem to include this feature yet.

Clicking on the game pushes the other (naughty, immersion breaking) windows and the taskbar into the background, seamlessly filling the full screen. Multitasking is great if I happen to be respawning, waiting for a loading screen, or if I need to look up information about the game (like looking up quest info for MMOs).

Sounds like the best of both worlds to me! In effect, it looks like you're playing in fullscreen mode, but you can still switch to other applications with no delay. In Maximized Fullscreen mode, the game is in windowed mode, but the borders and title bar are removed and the resolution matches your desktop's. Windowed mode also seems to be better for users using dual displays. Playing in windowed mode allows you to switch to other tasks with no delay, or even multitask. The most common caveat is that your computer chokes momentarily if you alt-tab to go do something else. Supposedly fullscreen mode provides better performance, but I don't anything about that (nor have I recently observed better performance in fullscreen mode). It seems to balance the trade-off between running in fullscreen, and running a game in windowed mode.ДЄ game in fullscreen mode fills your screen and is more immersive. It's sometimes called 'Borderless Windowed' mode, or 'Maximized Fullscreen' mode. I have seen several games that have a video display mode that is windowed with no borders, at the same resolution as the desktop.
