i3 tiling wm
With i3, simply start the game in windowed mode. Then, move it to a new virtual desktop with the key combo: <shift>-<windows>-<x>, where x is the number of a VT currently unused. After that, switch to the VT using <windows>-<x>, and put the game window into fullscreen mode by pressing <windows>-<f>.
Forced windowed mode
- Great for older games which have no windowed mode support.
- In order to use the program, the Height, Width and DLL (
D3dHook.dll
, included in the download) must be filled in.
- It must be run with administrator rights.
AutoHotkey
- Either AutoHotkey L or Basic are required for the following scripts.

Linux
- Most Linux windows managers allow fullscreen applications to natively run under a borderless mode by default.

You can also manually launch a non-Steam game by replacing %command% with the path to your game executable.
