Topic on Glossary talk:Borderless fullscreen windowed

I finally installed borderless-gaming to try it for myself. It's curious that there is a specific admin version- the user need only "run as admin" if desired (or check the "run as admin" box on the shortcut). Or there could be a UAC compliant option in settings to enable "always run as admin". Running this sort of utility as admin is a bad idea in the first place so I'm beyond confused. Well, the regular version works as it should (thank heavens for that too. I installed the admin version not realizing what it was and groaned at the thought of submitting yet another UAC compliance bug report to yet another dev that who actively rejects the UAC model).

But Borderless-Gaming is not the same as Window Manager. Borderless-Gaming lacks the following:

  • multi monitor functions
  • wildcards to match paths, which means you have finer grain control over which processes are affected and one config can sync across multiple computers
  • interval scanning=less resource usage-Borderless-Gaming is eating 1% of my cpu at all times. Window Manager averages 0% even when "Active" by virtue of interval scanning. This is the deal breaker for me.

And the text in Borderless-Gaming doesn't scale properly on high dpi displays, Window Manager does :P
